time is not constant......for anything stationary, time is fractionally slower then it would be if it was moving, due the wavelengths of light being slightly disrupted my the movement, therefore having to travel longer distances to get anywhere then it would if you were stationary

want a diagram?

i've never got this at all.i love reading big physics stuff but i can't get my head around time as non-constant

Depends if you're moving away from or towards the light source, doesn't it?Also, it would affect perception of time rather than measurement of time.

a very good argument indeedbut if person A was on a platfrom, while person B was speeding past him on a train, time would be slower for person B. As the light bounces off the walls of the train, by the time it gets to the other wall, its moved slightly, meaning the light has further to travel, therefore "expanding" time...or as you state...the illusion of slowing time
