OOE,
You just explained time dilation to me! Now I got what time dilation is all about! Thanks!
The way I envision the effect of light on time is looking at it like snapshots of an event. Each snapshot is preceded by another but different from each other. Thinking about it, I would say that time is a dimension to measure space rather than as a property. For example, in 2 dimensions, area is a property, in 3d, volume is a property, and in 1d, length/distance is a property. Time has to be a dimension, not a property otherwise how do we measure events by? Like we measure length/distance by the x axis, the height/area by the y axis, the depth/volume by the z axis. So I would say that "events" are a property of time. And by virtue of time, motion such as velocity and acceleration and light are properties of time.
Just pondering.
