Does time slows in digital clock?

1) Time “slows” in a RELATIVE SENSE. So if you are only dealing with one clock and scenario, you don’t have any comparison which gives perspective to “time slowing down”. 2) And to speak of the CLOCK slowing down is kind of a subtle but possible missing of the point: it is TIME that is slowing down and the clock merely provides a means of detecting it. 3) Digital clocks are usually discussed in such experiments because atomic clocks use integrated circuits which make very precise measurements much easier to compile. But ANALOG CLOCKS — and most every other kind — would also reflect the RELATIVE changes in the passage of time. 4) If you look at Einstein’s formulas, you will notice that it is not ONLY “when we are moving near the speed of light”. It happens at ALL speeds — but the “curve” of the function (if you bother to graph it so that you can get a better “feel” for it) simply gets much more “extreme” as one approaches the speed of light. And that is why such accurate and precise
