Einstein's Theory: Mars Time Runs Faster, Poses Challenge for NASA

• Mars clocks run faster than Earth clocks, confirming Einstein's theory of relativity.
• Clocks on Mars run approximately 0.477 milliseconds (477 microseconds) faster per 24 hours compared to Earth.
• The weaker gravitational pull on Mars, compared to Earth, causes time to pass more quickly, as predicted by Einstein's General Relativity.
• This time difference is critical for future space missions, navigation, communication, and establishing a "Solar System Internet."
• The time difference on Mars fluctuates daily due to its elliptical orbit, potentially requiring clocks to be reset every 100 days for accuracy.

Why It Matters: Mars' faster time, per Einstein, complicates future space navigation for NASA.
