"If there is an object moving at a relativistic speed relative to us, we perceive time on it as running slower" - That statement is poorly worded because you cannot ever ever measure how fast the object is moving in time!
There is a mathematical axiom that I hope you people won't dispute: Motion in a dimension can only be measured as a ratio to it's motion in another dimension. In this case, motion in time can only be measured as it's ratio to motion in space. We see clocks on the object as running slower, because the actual hands of the clock have smaller speeds. That leads to observing the molecules of the object - as we see them, they also start moving slower, which leads to the conclusion that the overall temperature of the object decreases. That means that as an object's relativistic speed would be approaching that of light, it's temperature (relative to us) would be approaching absolute zero...
