In special relativity, the time dilation that will be experienced can be expressed with the formula:
where is the "proper" time experienced by the moving object.
is the relative velocity the ovject is moving to the observer.
is the speed of light; it can be simply expressed as 1, but then the velocity will have to be given in terms of .
is the time the events appear to occur, with the time dilation added.
