Does Time Really Change?

To Einstein a clock measureS time, clocks change therefore time changes. This is the standard view or interpration of relativity. It is so assumed that no even thinks of relativity in any other terms. The only place you'll interpratational differences is in quantum theory but not in relativity. It has been popular lately for physist to think of time machines thanks to  Kip Stephen Thorne Ph.D. at Caltech University. I think there are no limits to ideas that must be consider in science.

So lets consider real time change together just see if it holds water or not. For this we will use what is called a "THOUGHT EXPERIMENT" this is alway based on a conclusion that is abundantly obvious since if it wasn't then real experiment must be done.

HERE IS MY THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: 

A TRAIN WITH AN ATOMIC CLOCK IS MOVING ON A STRAIGHT TRACK CLOSE TO THE SPEED LIGHT.  A MAN IS STANDING ON THE TRACKS WITH ANOTHER ATOMIC CLOSE BY. THEN A COLLISION HAPPENS; THIS IS THE OBVIOUS CONCLUSION.

I CLAIM THAT THIS PROVES THAT TIME DOES CHANGE IN RELATIVITY ONLY THE MEASUREMENT OF TIME! THIS CAN BE SEEN BY CONSIDERING THAT YOU WERE SITTING JUST WHERE SOME LESE WAS AT A DIFFERENT TIME. SO IT FOLLOWS THAT TWO OBJECTS CAN CO-EXIST IN SPACE BUT AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

THE ONLY RULE FOR THE DEBATE YOU MUST LIMIT YOUR COMMENT TO THE ISSUES OF THESE IDEAS.

You can stretch a ruler, but that does not change the length of an inch.

Side: Just measurement chenges

Time does change. Time moves with each second. The world could be in chaos if just one minute were added to world time.

Side: Time actual changes
