Scientists use an atomic clock to measure the height of a mountain
I am confused, I always thought that moving faster makes time go slower but the article says this:<p>&quot;For example, a clock on top of a tall mountain — far from the center of the Earth — will move a tiny bit faster than a clock at the base of that mountain, where the gravity is stronger. It&#x27;s not a mechanical error. Time itself actually passes faster at the top of the mountain.&quot;<p>From what I can understand from the Wikipedia article is that time does go slower the faster you move:
&quot;Special relativity indicates that, for an observer in an inertial frame of reference, a clock that is moving relative to him will be measured to tick slower than a clock that is at rest in his frame of reference.&quot;<p>I did a little search and half the sites I saw said one thing and the other half said the opposite.<p>Would anyone mind explaining like I&#x27;m five? Or maybe share a trustworthy sources I could read on the subject?<p>Thanks.
