(To rephrase your answer to see if I understand) so if we considered it an isolated system, it is because of extra energy inserted into the system that creates the difference in the speed of the clocks? It's still hard for me to even say, "The clock is ticking slower,".... I understand that a photon (of a moving atomic clock with mirrors) has to cover more distance, but I imagine the photon to move faster rather than time moving slower (time... moving slower...? Relatively...?). But then, you can't travel faster than the speed of light so the photon moving faster isn't possible? x_X

Nothing can be faster than light !!
You should have something less weight than light with more energy. Only that would be faster than light.
Yeah, that makes sense after looking at the equations. Since earth has more mass than say humans, does time for the earth move slower then?
Time on earth is going as fast as it is now. But if the earth had more mass then time speed would slow down
Ah, got it. It makes more sense now. Thanks physicfactor (^-^)/ I started recently learning quantum physics and it confuses me so much. The math makes more sense than the concepts which is not normal for me (it's normally vice versa).
But that's relative you would not notice anything about it
Funny if the earth were in a black hole, time would be almost stand stil and we would not notice that we almost live forever... What concepts do you mean?
