Time dilation and the only place it can't reach
The only place that can't be reached by the time dilation is the difficulty level of this time-based poker game. It will remain unchanged no matter how big the time dilation is. The graphic #1 shows the hexagonal scheme which explains this phenomenon perfectly, although first you'll need to get familiar with the rules of my OMEGATRON game. It takes about 1 minute to play this game, so you can try that, too. Any 1/100 sec. stopwatch + a little bit of practice and you'll be ready to go. But even if you don't decide to play it, it still is VERY interesting. I hope to have a serious science & poker math discussion here. I uploaded 7 graphics below in this post although some are hidden under the "spoiler" tags. Of course all 3 games use classic poker hand rankings. Let me know what you think.
TIME DILATION is the difference in elapsed time as measured by two clocks, either because of a relative velocity between them (special relativity), or a difference in gravitational potential between their locations (general relativity). When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity.
After compensating for varying signal delays resulting from the changing distance between an observer and a moving clock (i.e. Doppler effect), the observer will measure the moving clock as ticking more slowly than a clock at rest in the observer's own reference frame. There is a difference between observed and measured relativistic time dilation - the observer does not visually perceive time dilation in the same way that they measure it. In addition, a clock that is close to a massive body (and which therefore is at lower gravitational potential) will record less elapsed time than a clock situated farther from the same massive body (and which is at a higher gravitational potential).
These predictions of the theory of relativity have been repeatedly confirmed by experiment, and they are of practical concern, for instance in the operation of satellite navigation systems such as GPS and Galileo.
