In the case where you have a photonic clock bouncing a photon between 2 mirrors, if the mirrors are alligned on the vertical axis, bouncing the photon up and down and the overall clock traveling along the horizontal axis, then the whole thing makes sense to me. However, if you were to rotate the clock 90 degrees, so that the mirrors are alligned on the horizontal axis, in line with the direction of travel of the overall clock, then surely as the photon bounces back, the motion of the overall clock would effectively counter the distance it needs to travel to complete one cycle (increment of time) and negate the effects of time dilation?
