Why does time move slower for you?

Time moves slower for you when you're moving really fast, kind of like how it feels when you're running through a playground and everything around you seems to be going by in a blur.

Imagine you're on a super-fast swing. When you're swinging back and forth, the world outside your swing looks like it's moving more slowly than you are. That’s because you’re zooming past things really quickly!

Think of time as something like a video game that runs at a certain speed. If you're playing the game normally, everything happens at the same pace. But if you suddenly start running super fast, like in a race, the game seems to slow down around you. It's not because the game is broken; it’s just that you are moving so much faster than everything else.

This is what happens when you're going really, really fast, like astronauts zooming through space or super-fast trains. Time feels slower for you compared to someone who's standing still, just like how things look slower around you on a fast swing.
