    Suppose Swarglok (heaven) is in constant motion at a speed of 0.9999c with respect to the earth. According to the earth’s frame, how much time passes on the earth before one day passes on Swarglok?
    Ans : Given:
    Speed of Swarglok, v = 0.9999c
    Proper time interval, ∆t = One day on Swarglok
    Suppose ∆t' days pass on Earth before one day passes on Swarglok.
    Now,
    `` ∆t\text{'}=\frac{∆t}{\sqrt{1-{\displaystyle \frac{{v}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}}}}``
    `` =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-{\displaystyle \frac{{\left(0.9999\right)}^{2}{c}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}}}}``
    `` =\frac{1}{0.014141782}=70.712\,\mathrm{\,days\,}``
    `` ``
    Thus,
    ∆t' = 70.7 days
