Time dilation is something we say that happens under certain circumstances, so that we dont contradict the c=constant that underpins our understanding of the universe. and upset a whole bunch of genies arses to boot. Where as c being constant contradicts our obervations under certain circumstances. since we base our measurement of time on c being constant, this discussion could go on forever, ie time dilated
...all of the anomolies and paradoxes could be explained if c is not constant. It really couldnt be any simpler could it..... That should stir things up a bit, hey what old chap...
