You use the term "relative" and somebody else used the term "subjective". Are these terms interchangeable when explaining this?
Everybody keeps saying that when you travel at the speed of light, your time runs slower but nobody here has explained why. What was this hypothesis derived from? A mathematical formula? Did it come from experiments with light?
The passage of time is abslolute isn't it? The only thing that changes is our method or scale use for measuring it? For example, everything has a length but you might say something is 3 feet and I would say it's one meter. The scale is different but the length we're speaking about is the same and is absolute. The same is true for the passage of time, no?
