theeric · Answer

Well, you'd need a couple more sentences. Does time dilation sound familiar?

anonymous · Answer

yes but its like shoved int the back half of my brain

theeric · Answer

Well, time dilation is a special relativistic effect, meaning that it always happens but isn't very noticeable until something is traveling near the speed of light.

theeric · Answer

Time dilation is when moving objects seem to have time go by more slowly.

theeric · Answer

But, as far as we know, time never goes backwards. In your response, you can say that time cannot go backwards, but for the other sentences bring up the special relativistic effect that deals with time (time dilation).

I have to go. Take care and good luck!
