In Gravitationals link and referral to the Lorentz factor in the time dilation formula, there is the exact equation and graph I am trying to refer to. My question specifically I suppose is why is the relationship not...

    WHY? is the relationship between speed and time exponential?

    Please excuse my vagueness. What I am asking is, for example in a particle accelerator, when particles are sped up close to the speed of light their time relative to us becomes slower. What I am asking is why the time dilation is greater in only the much higher percentages of the speed of light...
