Koan, time shows up pretty much everywhere in Newtonian physics (x = vt for example). I cannot argue in depth physics with you. Wish I could!!! But I do know until Einstein came along no one knew time was relative. Newton I am sure never entertained the idea of time as relative. Interestingly his brillant famous female physicist collegue and biographer always saw something was not quite right with his equations, but never knew what it was. Nor did anyone else ever figure it out until Einstein. Einstein, as you probably know, thought about light night and day. Then one day he realized light was a constant and one could never catch light. That meant in E=MC2 that time had to be relative if light is a constant. I have read a dozen books on Einstein, but my lack of education prevents me from seeing very deeply. It is my great frustration. I know I am missing so much juicy stuff. Imagine what Einstein saw? The idea you can send two clocks into outer space at different speeds and they will come back with different times. Who could believe that?-lol
