Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the educational video focused on Albert Einstein's Special Relativity. Time Dilation and the Twin paradox
This is very familiar to me still, after decades, nuclear physics at USMA, West Point exposed me to Einstein's General and Special Relativity theories. Special Relativity is focused on the relationship between space and time. 'Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels. As a result, he found that space and time were interwoven into a single continuum known as space-time. Events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another.'
In physics and relativity, time dilation is the difference in the elapsed time as measured by two clocks located in different spatial reference frames. It is either due to a relative velocity between them or to a difference in gravitational potential between their locations."
