Actually, it would. Einstein provides an equation for that. All you need to do is plug in the object’s speed, and the time that the object is at that speed.

The equation will tell you how much the object jumped into the future. Without doing the calculation, a car going 88 mph for a month might jump a trillionth of a second into the Earth’s future. Nobody would notice that.

Now here’s the interesting thing. An experiment was done with the Concord flying to Europe. Einstein’s equation predicted how much the plane would jump into the future. Nobody noticed it, as it was way less than a second. But an atomic clock picked it up. It read just as Einstein’s equation said it would.

Ol’ Albert was one smart guy.

I just realized that there are people who time travel every day. What about people who live on the western boundary of a time zone, and work in the next time zone? For example, I live in the Eastern time zone, and work in the Central time zone.
