Spike,

>>…That is not my understanding of time dilation, or perhaps I misunderstand what you're saying. My clock on board the ship appears to me to work normally. It is only relative to some other clock perhaps back on earth it seems to slow down…Gordon

 
>No.  The clocks on earth and aboard the ship both appear normal from the point of view of the person right there with them.  The clocks aboard the ship appears to be slow from the point of view of earth, but the clock on earth appears to be going slow from the point of view of the spaceship.  From each point of view, both observers see the other guy’s clock as moving slow.<  

How is that different from I just wrote above?
