    Perhaps , if a magnet is also accelerated to a high speed ; it will strengthen its magnetism .

    Because there is no "force field".

    If there can be 'magnetic field' around a magnet and 'electrical field' around a electrically charged particle ; there is a possibility that , there is also 'force-field' around a mass .

    Er, because there isn't one.

    Is there a possibility you could learn physics?

    The effect of 'time-dilation' is proving this fact of 'force-field' around a mass .

    For example , 'gravity' of our earth is the 'force-field' for our earth . So, 'force-field' exists .

    It simply is not what is happening. A mass has some gravity (force field as you call it), but a mass that is at high speed does not have more gravity associated with it.

    May be the force-fields getting compressed and strengthened due to the high speed .

    A clock in addition to time , also indicates the strength of force-field in which it is kept .

    There are many types of fields which permeate space, magnetic fields, electromagnetic fields, Higgs fields, gravity fields.

    What type of field is this 'force field'. What is the quanta of the 'force field'. What does the 'force field' interact with, and how.

    "Force field" as you seem to be using the term, exists only on Star Trek, Star Wars, Star Gate, etc.

    What do you mean by maybe? This isn't about guessing it is about using real data and the data says that time slows.

    Oh come on, aren't a bit too old for this?

    My last post was to point out to moderator(s) that they need to moderate the "civility' of those utilizing the forum. There is NO NEED for uncivility, sarcasm (unless pre-stated as such), foul language, and other modus operandi that detract from the honest and legitimate purposes of such a forum. If you'd really like to see more of my 'old-age' whining and complaining, please go to the following thread (created by a moderator - not me!):

    It is relatively speaking much more plausible to achieve that degree of time dilation by traveling extremely close to c than by orbiting a supermassive black hole at a distance of a \(\mu{m}\) or should I say safer?

    well what is time other than perspective ?

    and a mathematical concept ?

    can I take time and change anything ? no

    if can introduce time into a situation can I change how things behave? no

    time is a mental concept based on the movement of things
