One consequence of this is there is no guarantee the clocks will tick at the same rate. In fact, many clocks will tick at different rates.
Even worse, the faster you travel relative to someone else, the slower your clock will tick compared to theirs.
This means if you travel very fast in a spaceship—as Buzz does—a few minutes might pass for you, but years might pass for someone on the planet you left behind.
