    Undergrad How does timedilation apply to things other than lightclocks?

    I must've confused it with something else that I've read. Now, is this then a legit definition of timedilation?: Time dilation: A time interval length is not absolute, it is not the same everywhere and always. Time can only be measured relatively. Example: You have two clocks in the form...

    Undergrad How does timedilation apply to things other than lightclocks?

    It's too complex for me because I'm not very good at equations. Do you mind explaining it a little simpler?

    Undergrad How does timedilation apply to things other than lightclocks?

    thank you guys, I have another question, in the twin paradox, the brother who travels within the spaceship, as of what I've read his body slows down because it gets so heavy. Since e=mc2, the faster he goes the heavier his body gets. And the heavier he is, the more sluggish he gets, which is...

    Undergrad How does timedilation apply to things other than lightclocks?

    I'm studying special relativity and this does not make any sense to me: I understand the lightclock example of how time dilation works. But I don't understand how it applies to other things. This is probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out.
