Immagine an extreme and impossible example: you, looking at an stationary clock then instantly accelerating to the speed of light. What do you think you would see? Well, the clock marking the time at the moment you started moving, stopped, for as long as you’re traveling at that speed . Now dial it down a notch, and instead of it being stopped it just moves slowly…
Disclaimer: I’m no physicist or expert but this thought experiment has helped me shallowly
understand dime dialation.
