Time waits for no quasar – even though it should



We are certainly living in interesting times. The amount of scientific research that is conducted each day is simply overwhelming. The amount of data and the possible implications of said data is likewise overwhelming. Now we are gathering new information related to time that could lead us to re-write old theories.


"The phenomenon of time dilation is a strange yet experimentally confirmed effect of relativity theory. One of its implications is that events occurring in distant parts of the universe should appear to occur more slowly than events located closer to us. For example, when observing supernovae, scientists have found that distant explosions seem to fade more slowly than the quickly-fading nearby supernovae."
