Why There Is No Universal "Now" (Einstein's Time Discovery Explained)

There is no now.

There is no now. No universal now, that is. Einstein discovered that your “present moment” depends on where you are and how fast you’re going. Two people can look at the same pair of events and disagree on which one happened first — and you know what, they’re both are right. Your neighbor’s “now” literally isn’t the same as yours. Time just doesn’t tick the same for everyone.

Your “now” is personal and so is theirs. So never race to match anyone else’s timeline. It can never be yours because you got your very own.
