Hey! Thank you for a humble answer. This sort of confirms what I thought, that it is very hard to explain mechanically or biochemically why everything relatively slows down due to high speeds. That is, however, not to say that we can't prove relativity as a fact (for example the slowed down...

Hey, I think that you misunderstood my question. I know that any type of clock (even biological) would slow down just as much as a light clock when moving near light speed, in comparison to a stationary frame of reference. I was merely wondering what the mechanical (hopefully the right word)...

Well, I'm sorry for phrasing it wrong. Yes, I have read an introductory book on relativity. The biological processes do in fact slow down upon travel near lightspeed, in comparison (!) to a stationary frame of reference. I'm talking about a scenario similar to the twin paradox.

The time dilation effect on a lightclock moving horizontically is very easy to understand. But how does the speed affect our biological processes? "Because time slows down!" you might say. But specifically, what does make say the cells move slower? If they are moving in the same direction of a...
