*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954 1954]
==Definition==
*1: an [[anomaly]], discontinuity, or [[suspension]] held to occur in the [[progress]] of [[time]]
==Description==
The terms '''time warp''', ''space warp'' and ''time-space warp'' are commonly used in [[science fiction]]. They sometimes refer to [[Einstein]]'s theory that [[time and space]] form a [[continuum]] which bends, folds or warps from the [[observer]]'s [[point of view]], [[relative]] to such factors as movement or [[gravitation]], but are also used in reference to more [[fantastic]] notions of discontinuities or other irregularities in spacetime not based on real-world [[science]].
According to Einstein's [[theory]] of [[general relativity]], when a body of [[mass]] "m" and [[volume]] "V" (each length of "l") moves with a [[velocity]] "v", then many [[changes]] take place in is [[physical]] appearance. Its length decreases and mass increases. These [[factors]] keep on increasing and decreasing with the increase in [[velocity]]. When the body reaches the [[speed of light]] "c", the length becomes [[zero]], [[mass]] becomes [[infinite]] and [[time]] factor vanishes. In other words, no time passes inside the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon event horizon] of the moving body. In this way, the body sometimes takes irregular shapes and covers a distance of millions of [[light years]] in no time, because the passage of time for that moving body is vanished. During this [[process]], the body is said to be moving with a ''time-warp speed''.
