Turning Points - Time Dilation - High school / AQA A Level / IB

This PowerPoint presentation offers a comprehensive exploration of time dilation, a fundamental concept of special relativity involving the difference in elapsed time measured by two observers, due to a velocity difference relative to each other, or to a difference in gravitational potential between their locations. It covers the basics of proper time and dilated time, provides detailed examples and evidence of time dilation such as muon decay, and addresses complex scenarios like the twin paradox through engaging visuals and thought-provoking questions designed to deepen understanding of relativistic effects.
