So with reference to this twins paradox thought experiment?
How does this differ from the aether style definition, of the moving clock moving through the aether (light carrying medium) and the clock it'self slowing down, because the matter in the clock (electrons, etc etc etc) have to travel further, therefore appears to have 'slowed time'?
