The video explains how time is affected by gravity and speed, as described by Einstein's theories of relativity. It highlights that time moves differently on the Moon and Jupiter compared to Earth. The video also discusses the practical implications of these differences, such as their impact on GPS systems. Additionally, it reveals that time can vary even within the human body due to its position relative to Earth's center.
