Time dilation was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Time contraction. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 March 18#Time contraction until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

The section on "Combined effect of velocity and gravitational time dilation" claims it is using the Schwarzschild metric, and links to the Schwarzschild metric page, but it looks more like a misformed representation of isotropic coordinates, and it cites a source that uses what the source calls an "ECI frame" which looks like a weak-field Newtonian metric. 5.57.12.217 ( talk) 11:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
The animation where the red clock rotates around the blue clock as illustration for special relativistic effects is misleading, since at least one of the two clocks is not part of an inertial system and thus SRT does not apply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.95.168.158 ( talk) 14:41, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Given the forward nature of this kind of time dilation, I would also as do many people like to see a theoretical description of backwards time dilation since this topic has become an interesting point by travel through wormholes or possibly an Alcubiere drive. This of course remains theory how many times the speed of C should one go to travel back in time using a spaceship equiped with an Alcubiere drive if York time concept is non existant. One would as to obide to the law of conservation of energy need to replicate the ships matter except the fuel many rockets are 70 percent fuel and 30 percent matter unless a closed loop engine is used. But in this case nuclear fuel would be used possibly even fusion if attainable since it is more lightweight than fission materials. This of course is strictly theoretical but none the less an aspect that should as theory be added to this time dilation topic, with mention of its theoretic nature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.24.84.243 ( talk) 11:20, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
The quote starting "individual electrons describe corresponding.." gives the incorrect equation. From the paper the quote should be "and the individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the latter system in the ratio e^-1/2 or (l — ½v²/c²), while those less advanced in the direction of v are"
In the article text the equation is given as √(1—v²/c²) which is the the inverse of the Lorentz and Einstein equation for gamma 2001:8003:146B:CD00:819A:61CD:C43C:35E1 ( talk) 11:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
I am 87 now ! Must I await to be 100 years before you will accept my suggestions formulated in 2017 ! 🤔
