DHiMac;

If one interprets Einstein's GR properly, it is the physical clock made out of physical matter that slows down as you accelerate. We do not have a clock that can reproduce the true concept of "time" and thus we use GR. An example is to take an electric clock that references to the 60 Hz line frequency and take it to
Japan where the line frequency is 50 Hz. A slow physical time reference does not constitute travel in time.

Keep in touch with reality;
