It's getting HOT! TWO HOT!! my clock is confused...


Einstein confuses me...I don't know when he is talking about his inner

Is the outer clock even aware of all this????

"What time does your dilation say?"

The outer clock sez, what do you mean two events happening at the same
time on my clock???? 


Do you wear two watches?
