Time really does move faster on Mars, but the breakthrough that confirms it did not come from a spacecraft’s stopwatch.

Thanks to Einstein’s relativity, time flows differently on Mars than on Earth. NIST scientists have now nailed down the ...

Time moves differently on Mars — not in the Tibetan philosophy sense of the word, but in a measurable, physics-will-ruin-your-mission kind of way that's giving NASA engineers a real headache. As the ...

"A three-body problem is extremely complicated. Now we're dealing with four: the sun, Earth, the moon and Mars. The heavy lifting was more challenging than I initially thought." When you purchase ...

Research conducted by two physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US reveals that ...

The result is that the team's calculation predicts that time on Mars runs 477 microseconds per day faster, with a fluctuation of 266 microseconds that needs to be accounted for at any point in the ...

The white pickup truck pulls up to a decommissioned space observatory on top of Mount Blue Sky, one of Colorado’s famous “14ers,” mountains that reach more than 14,000 feet high. The scene is stark on ...

NIST scientists calculated that clocks on Mars would be an average of 477 millionths of a second faster than clocks telling ...
