We finally understood how to squeeze time and how to stretch it thanks to a German patent officer named Albert Einstein. Einstein’s most famous thought experiment regarding time dilation is the Twin paradox. We have two twins, one goes into a spaceship that moves near the speed of light for a few hours and when he comes back to Earth, years have passed and his twin has aged significantly. Where t is the proper time (in the twin paradox the time that passes on Earth) while t 0 is the time for the moving observer. Now let’s talk about the hyperbolic time chamber . In the Manga and Anime Dragon Ball Z there’s a special room where you can spend a year in there and only one day would have passed on Earth. My friend wants me to build him that, so let’s substitute our values in and see what
