TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have observed quasars in the early universe appearing to tick five times slower, confirming Einstein's special theory of relativity. The expansion of space influences the apparent flow of time, and the observations of highly luminous and variable galaxies, known as quasars, have revealed the cosmic time dilation. This discovery puts to rest the idea that quasars challenge modern cosmology and provides further evidence for Einstein's mathematical description of the universe.
