Ever wondered why a holiday near a black hole might leave you younger than your friends at home? Let's explore "Interstellar Jetlag" (Time Dilation) and discover why everything you know about time is wrong.

In this episode of The Curiosity Well Podcast, I take you on a mind-bending journey into the fabric of reality itself and talk about the speed of light and how it affects time.

What I Explore:

• Einstein’s Metronome: How the constant speed of light fundamentally breaks our understanding of hours and seconds.
• The Spacetime Fabric: The cosmic trade-off between moving fast through space and moving slow through time.
• Everyday Relativity: Why GPS satellites and your Uber driver actively rely on time travel math to function.

Void Mail Q&A: Plus, we answer a brilliant (and sweaty) listener question in our Void Mail segment: If moving faster slows down time, will running on a treadmill every day actually make you live longer?
