Thanks a lot for your explanation, I have finally understood most of it. But I have one final question, which is not that related with my original question. Does time really slow down at higher speeds, or is it just a matter of relativity-someone "seeing/thinking/observing" that the time slows...

I have already checked the link you provided, and still couldn't figure out the exact answer, that's why I came here. The question and its variations are on some exams I come across, and teachers haven't been able to explain it well enough as they also don't know the subject very well.
