The absolute time (absolute duration) required between two ticks of a Cs atom is dependent on the state of absolute motion of the Cs atom (frame dependent). This effect is interpreted by SR as time dilation. However a defined interval of absolute time is the same in all frames of reference. The clock time values represent this defined interval of absolute time is different in different frame of reference (different states of absolute motion). |
