How Does Gravity Warp the Flow of Time?

The video explores the concept of gravitational time dilation, explaining how time runs slower in gravitational fields. It discusses Einstein's equivalence principle, which equates freefall with floating in space, and introduces general relativity, explaining gravity as a curvature of space-time. The video uses the photon clock to illustrate kinematic time dilation and connects it to gravitational time dilation through acceleration. It also examines time perception in a rotating space station and concludes by questioning the relationship between time and gravity.
