Zeitmanipulation
Zeitmanipulation refers to the proposed ability to alter the rate or direction of time for objects, systems, or observers. In practice, the term covers both scientific discussions about time dilation in relativity and speculative devices in fiction that aim to speed up, slow down, or reverse time. It also encompasses subjective changes in perceived duration versus objective time.
In physics, time flow is relative. Special relativity shows that a clock in motion runs slower from
Theoretical discussions of true time manipulation beyond relativity include ideas about closed timelike curves, wormholes, or
In literature and popular culture, Zeitmanipulation often appears as time travel, time freezing, or age manipulation,
Scholarly discussion distinguishes established relativistic effects from fictional devices. Ongoing research in physics examines the nature
