Scientific Discoveries & Implications
Mars’ Clocks Tick Faster, Raising Challenges for Interplanetary Timekeeping
A new study reported by Live Science finds that clocks on Mars run approximately 477 microseconds faster per Earth day due to the planet’s weaker gravity, a relativistic effect predicted by Einstein’s theory. The discrepancy, larger than that on the Moon, could complicate synchronization for future crewed missions and the development of a solar‑system‑wide “internet.” Understanding these variations is essential for precise navigation and communication across planetary distances.
