Yes.
When you move very quickly (near 1079 million miles persecond) time will slow down and space will contract in the direction that you are moving. This explained by the theory of general relativity.
It is difficult or impossible to explain why this happens exactly, but experiments have been done to test the effect.
Actually it is Special Relativity, not General Relativity that covers time dilation and space contraction. General Relativity cover effects of acceleration.
It is not at all difficult to explain why this happens, any good relativity text can do it with very little math. I recommend "SPACETIME PHYSICS" by Edwin F. Taylor (MIT) & John Archibald Wheeler (Princeton University), ISBN 0-7167-0336-X. I read this book in High School and had no trouble understanding any of it.
If you could travel at the speed of light (but you can't) time would stop and space would become infinitely thin in your direction of motion, you would be at all points along your full trajectory at that one moment (aka at the same time) from your frame of reference (others would simply see you fly by at the speed of light).
When you get down to phenomena as elemental as Gravitation, time dilation, etc. there is no further "why" that may be answered simply because we know only that it happens and howit works, not why the universe works the way it does. No textbook covers such questions. See Richard Feynman's "Fun to Imagine" #4

What is the control setup of an experiment?

Is it possible to speed up time?
No, it is not possible to speed up time. Time is a constant and cannot be manipulated or altered in that way.
Experiment in which only one variable the manipulated variable is changed at a time is?
A controlled experiment is when only one variable, the manipulated variable, is changed at a time to observe its effect on the dependent variable, while keeping all other variables constant. This approach helps to determine the specific impact of the manipulated variable on the outcome of the experiment.
An experiment in which only one variable the manipulated variable is changed at a time is called?
Controlled
