And in the case of the satellites, you wouldn't get the right location, the data wouldn't be right unless we take into account two things.
How fast they're going, the closer to the speed of light you go, the slower time goes, but also how far away from the gravitational pull of the Earth they are.
The closer you are into gravity, the slower time goes.
That's Einstein.
I mean, that goes back 120 years.
We don't know if it's true, but it's, I mean, Einstein really thought there wasn't much of a way around it because he said, okay, well, if everything is going at different velocities compared to everything else, right?
I mean, it's a great question a kid can ask.
How fast am I going through space?
And the Earth, if you're on the equator of the Earth, that goes around at about 1,000 miles an hour.
And then we go around the Sun at about 67,000 miles an hour in our orbit.
The Sun's going around the galaxy about half a million miles an hour around the galaxy.
The galaxy is going towards a galactic cluster at more than a million miles an hour.
But, you know, how fast are we going, really?
And the only thing you can measure is how fast are you going relative to something else.
There's no answer.
You know, how fast am I going?
Well, I mean, am I still or am I actually traveling close to the speed of light right now?
I don't know.
So Einstein said the only way he could really think about how that would work is if the universe was just one big thing.
