Default Time and motion are Unified

Mitch,


So are you saying that a "still" clock (the slowest motion possible)
experiences the fastest motion of time? And as it increases its
velocity with respect to this "still" position, time slows down?
Sounds to me like what you are saying is that time passes at its
fastest rate for a "still" object, and slows down as the object
accelerates to a greater and greater velocity. Is this because the
object, by accelerating, is catching up to this "motion of time"
thereby now causing it to experience a "Time Dilation" with respect to
the "still" clock where time is passing at its fastest rate possible?

Also, what do you think happens to this clock if it travels at the
speed of light? Does time completely stop passing for it?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

all the best,

Jeff
