Scientists have demonstrated "time dilation" in the early universe by studying quasars, supermassive black holes. Using 190 quasars as a cosmic clock, they observed time passing about a fifth as quickly as today, dating back 12.3 billion years. The study compared the brightness fluctuations of ancient quasars to those today, finding a fivefold slowdown.
