"slowing of time"????

Maybe i need to perform an experiment...

i need one pretty girl

wait, does it slow the clock or slow the time?

it must slow the time
without slowing the clock.

the ticks don't slow, just the flow between the ticks.


The question is when does dilation work????



maybe dilation is like the rain..

it only rains when it rains.
