RELATIVISTIC TIME DILATION 
1905

.

This equation is one of the cornerstones of Special Relativity, linking the times recorded on two clocks in relative motion expressed as a fraction of their relative speed ,v. It is readily seen that if the two observers are not at rest then their clocks will measure different time intervals and also that the limiting relative speed is 'c' - the speed of light.
