Why Is Time a Thing?

Ever wonder what time actually is—and whether you can bend it like a straw? In this mind-bendy episode of Explain It Like I’m 5, we break down the weirdest, coolest facts about time, relativity, and why you’re technically a time travelerright now.

Host Alex dives into the big cosmic questions with small, snackable answers:

- What is time, really?

- Why does it only move forward?

- Can you slow it down with speed or gravity?

- Is time travel real—or just movie magic?

From Einstein’s theory of relativity to the black hole time-dilation zone, from entropy to space-time noodles, we explore the science behind one of the universe’s biggest mysteries—in a way that makes it all click.

No PhD required. Just curiosity.

Perfect for science lovers, curious minds, space nerds, and anyone who’s ever lost three hours to TikTok and wondered what just happened.

Explain It Like I’m 5 is your go-to podcast for making complex science feel simple, funny, and actually fun to learn.
