I finally figured out quotes! :)
Fast vs slow moving frames are used in many examples. Even in Einstein's own writing on the topic (a train and the embankment if I recall). Frames can have relative motion, and frames are discussed as moving at speeds close to the speed of light.

From what I read, Einstein said you could have an objective frame of reference, but that it was pointless to do so.
In the general case of applying reletivity, I'd agree, but I'm not looking to apply it, I'm looking for why relativity happens the way it does, and for that I need the objective...
Okay, part of the goal is to remove the subjectivity. It is rather understood that the brain isn't going to keep functioning at full pace if all matter moving at that speed slows down, thus the observations of the observer would slow down as well, giving the illusion that time doesn't slow down...
"To be honest, from the rest of your question it's clear that you don't know what time dilation is, so a good first step would be to read more about it. Time dilation is not "time slowing down at faster speeds."
Except, objectively that is exactly what happens. From the point of view of each...
Quote 1,
Thanks, knowing what that is for helps quite a bit.
Quote 2,
Okay, consider for a moment that the watches are affected by the time dialation. Therefore, the process itself of moving hands is slowing down at faster speeds, this slowing of the process affects measurements made in...
I know what time dilation is, that is not the question. I don't know what school level this is (the prefix thingy in the title) since I am exploring this personally and never had schooling on it, only knowing the tidbits I've found or heard, that don't really go in depth.
The question is...
