In classical Newtonian physics, the concept of time is absolute. With his theory of relativity, Einstein proved that time is not absolute, through time dilation. According to the special theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference in the elapsed time measured by two observers, either due to a velocity difference relative to each other. As a result a clock that is moving relative to an observer will be measured to tick slower than a clock that is at rest in the observer's own frame of reference. Through some thought experiments, Einstein proved the time dilation. Here in this article I will use my thought experiments to demonstrate that time dilation is incorrect and it was a great mistake of Einstein.
