In a broad sense it means that you see clocks carried by people moving relative to you move slowly. This effect is totally negligible in every day life by the way, the speeds need to approach that of light for the effects to be apparent.
More specifically it states that time moves slower in inertial frames moving relative to yours.

Einstein's theory of special relativity lead to?
The theory led to time dilation and spacial contraction.
What is the statement of Stark-Einstein's law of photochemical equivalence?
laws of photochemical
Is this statement said by Albert Einstein nothing is absolute but god and speed of light?
I could not find anything remotely resembling such a statement amongst quotes from Einstein. Even if these words are somewhere attributed to Einstein, I seriously doubt any source will be listed. It is a sad but true fact that people place words in wise men like Einstein in order to bolster support the idea -- for example, the famous statement about insanity, often attributed to him, did not exist till almost twenty years after Einstein died.
What page is the time dilation on in Ender's Game?
Page 265 to 266
How did Einstein's theory of relativity change people's view of the universe?
So far my view is concerned, I have realized that space and time are only relative to the observer. "Nothing is absolute" is the statement made by Albert Einstein. The very observer is the absolute. So we have to realize our own selves. This is my humble view
Einstein's theory of special relativity lead to?
The theory led to time dilation and spacial contraction.
When did albert Einstein discover time travel?
Einstein's theory of general relativity permits something called time dilation, as you approach celestas (speed of light in a vacuum) time slows down, so technically you will be able to get to the future without aging, which is a form of time travel.he discovered it when he was young but did nothing about it since its technically not time travel
Did Albert Einstein discover the GPS?
Albert Einstein did not invent Global Positioning Satellites or any kind of satellites. However, it is also true that it is necessary to understand Einstein's theory of relativity, in order to get sufficient accuracy to create a GPS system, since relativistic time dilation effects do affect the satellites.
Is this statement true or falseA dilation is a transformation that preserves similarity and congruence?
false
If you travel into space is the time taken to get to say another planet the same as the time on earth?
For all practical purposes the answer is yes. Einstein's time dilation does not happen in any meaningful way at the speeds today's manned spacecraft archive.
Is this statement true or falseThe scale factor of a dilation is always between 0 and 1?
false
How is albert Einstein discoverys still useful today?
One minuscule example: The GPS system couldn't work if the clocks aboard the satellites were not corrected to account for the relativistic time dilation due to their orbital velocities.
Is this statement true or falseA dilation with a scale factor of -1 is equivalent to a 180° rotation with the same center?
true
What is the statement of Stark-Einstein's law of photochemical equivalence?
laws of photochemical
Can time be bent?
In physics, time dilation occurs when time is experienced differently between two observers due to differences in their motion or gravitational fields. Time dilation is a well-established phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity. While time cannot be "bent" in the traditional sense, it can be influenced by factors such as speed and gravity.
How does black hole eat time?
it's called "time dilation" if you look into relativity, Einstein describes the constant of the universe being the speed of light. Since a black hole is infinte in gravity, the black hole sucks in the light. So it in a since changes the constant that constrains time and so to speak "eat's time!"
