Hi.
It's known that for an object in a motion relative to another, time will slow down.
Now the question is why? Is it merely the mechanical effect that since the object is in motion, all its processes (which are practically motion of particles within the structure) now have to travel further due to the motion as shown http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Time_dilation02.gif" or is it because the very fabric of time itself slows down?
