  • Astronomers have shown the clearest evidence yet for cosmological time dilation as predicted by Einstein.
  • The researchers analyzed 1,504 supernovae into the distant universe.
  • The results confirm that the universe is expanding and that time dilation is a real phenomenon.

Scientists have confirmed Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity by observing 1,504 supernovae across the universe. The research, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, shows that time ticks slower for objects moving at extremely high speeds.
