In Episode 25 of Amazing Universe, we explore the nature of time — one of the most mysterious dimensions of the universe. The episode begins with Einstein's relativity, showing how time is not absolute but affected by motion (time dilation) and gravity (gravitational time dilation), especially near massive objects like black holes. We then consider the arrow of time, tied to entropy, which explains why time flows from past to future. The episode also touches on the fascinating but problematic idea of time travel, from relativity's leap into the future to speculative wormholes for traveling into the past. Ultimately, time is shown to be more than just a human experience — it's woven into the fabric of the cosmos, bending, stretching, and shaping reality itself.
