Einstein said in so many words:

"If you sit on a pretty girl's lap for an hour, it seems like a minute.
If you sit on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. That's
relativity"  

"seems" like a minute
"seems" like an hour


Sounds to me Einstein is refering to an 'inner clock', not an outer
clock.

Psycholocial time not

physical time.
