The Power of Mathematics

I don't know. I just know that the maths predicts it.

Nobody really knew that time went slower the faster you travelled. Still, they knew that Einsteins maths predicted such a phenomenon.

Then one day we got smart enough to synchronize two very accurate clocks. Then we put one in orbit (going really fast!) Then after a while we compared their times and the one in orbit was lagging.

Maths predicts.

"That's a bold assertion."

Clearly! But can it be disproved?

I really appreciate your help today - thanks buddy!
