Time is apparently relative in the sense that objects that move very fast also zip through time faster. This was proven by an atomic clock on an airplane that "ticked" ever so slightly slower than an identical clock on the ground? Right? Anyway, if those two clocks were moving relative to each other, why would one zip through time and the other move through time at a "normal" pace? If the two clocks are brought back together after the trip, who is to say which one was "moving really fast" and which one was stationary if they were only moving relative to each other. In other words...For pilots on the airplane, they would experience normal pace of time, so why wouldn't they see that the Ground clock which was moving relative to them, ticked at a slower pace?
