Airport had two important pieces of information. I want to repeat them briefly as a summary.

Let’s look at Animated Figure 1, which consists of two parts. In the upper figure (A), both clocks are approaching or receding from Alice. In the lower figure (B), the clock on which Gryphon is sitting is stationary, but again both clocks are approaching or receding from Alice with equal speed.

First information from the Airport section: the equality between frames A and B, which consist of Alice, Gryphon, and two clocks. (In the previous section we could slide from frame A to frame B)

Second information: Because the slope of the bar on which Alice sits does not change, both clocks also run synchronously according to Gryphon. This result shows that there is an error in Albert Einstein’s Special Relativity theory. Moving clocks do not slow down.

The theoretical explanation of the equality between frames A and B is as follows:

When considering frames moving uniformly relative to each other, it is impossible to determine which frame is in motion and which is at rest. Each frame may consider itself stationary and the other in motion.

In frame A, we see that the clock Gryphon sits on is moving relative to us. But for Gryphon the situation is different. He will think that we are moving and he is stationary. The speed of the right-hand clock does not change for Gryphon in either frame A or frame B. For Alice, there is also no difference; in both frames, the approach or recession speed of the clocks relative to her is the same.

Therefore, for neither Gryphon nor Alice is there any difference between frames A and B.

Why does Gryphon observe a time dilation on the right-hand clock?

Time Dilation is absolutely observed in a clock that moves relative to our reference frame. This is experimentally confirmed, and we will not discuss its existence. Gryphon will measure a time dilation when he examines the tick–tock intervals of the clock on the right.

However, we clearly see a problem: since both clocks run synchronously for Gryphon, how does he end up observing Time Dilation?

The answer to how “Time Dilation” occurs is given by the ALICE LAW. If there is a velocity difference between reference frames, a deformation occurs in electromagnetic interaction. This deformation leads to the effects we call Relativity. Time Dilation is one of the most important of these deformations. The signals (electromagnetic waves) coming from the right-hand clock toward Gryphon will be deformed.

What is time dilation and how does it occur? This part of the series explains the Time Dilation phenomenon in full detail. I strongly recommend visiting that page.
