Time dilation is the theory that as objects reach speeds closer and closer to the speed of light, time, within that object's realm, will slow and eventually stop, upon traveling at the speed of light.
Time dilation may be more of a doctrine rather than a theory, since there is little evidence to prove that time can sit still since nothing with mass, so far, has traveled at the speed of light.
The choice of the name was a combination of preference of animosity and following the idea that, while half-awake and half-asleep, I have the ability to pause time and sleep longer after turning off the alarm clock. This is usually followed by a mad scramble to stay on schedule, as instead of sleeping with time paused, I have acutally just slept too long thinking that time has waited for me.
Why I Wikipedia
I believe in Wikipedia because of its continual conglomeration of knowledge, allowed to mankind. As well as its realization of the fact that every author has a bias, so every reader should have a chance to edit. Nothing is more satisfying than the advancement of humanity, and I believe that Wikipedia is a great contribution to that advancement.
