  2. Retarded time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_time

    v. t. e. In electromagnetism, electromagnetic waves in vacuum travel at the speed of light c, according to Maxwell's Equations. The retarded time is the time when the field began to propagate from the point where it was emitted to an observer. The term "retarded" is used in this context (and the literature) in the sense of propagation delays .

  3. Radium dial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_dial

    A 1950s radium clock, exposed to ultraviolet light to increase luminescence. Radium dials are watch, clock and other instrument dials painted with luminous paint containing radium-226 to produce radioluminescence. Radium dials were produced throughout most of the 20th century before being replaced by safer tritium -based luminous material in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronostasis

    Chronostasis (from Greek χρόνος, chrónos, 'time' and στάσις, stásis, 'standing') is a type of temporal illusion in which the first impression following the introduction of a new event or task-demand to the brain can appear to be extended in time. [1] For example, chronostasis temporarily occurs when fixating on a target stimulus ...

  6. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Transversal time dilation. The blue dots represent a pulse of light. Each pair of dots with light "bouncing" between them is a clock. In the frame of each group of clocks, the other group is measured to tick more slowly, because the moving clock's light pulse has to travel a larger distance than the stationary clock's light pulse.

  7. Clock drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_drift

    Clock drift. Clock drift refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at exactly the same rate as a reference clock. That is, after some time the clock "drifts apart" or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. All clocks are subject to drift, causing eventual divergence unless resynchronized.

  8. One-way speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

    The one-way speed. Unidirectional light path in the aberration of light. Although the average speed over a two-way path can be measured, the one-way speed in one direction or the other is undefined (and not simply unknown), unless one can define what is "the same time" in two different locations. To measure the time that the light has taken to ...
