The Clock and Time:

[Author ORCID: 0000-0003-1871-7803]

1. Clocks are designed to measure and display the passage of time in various formats.

2. The time shown on a clock can be affected by relativistic effect.

3. The phenomenon of time appearing to run differently for observers in different relative motion or in the presence of strong gravitational fields is known as time distortion.

4. A clock is a device or instrument that is designed to measure and display the passage of time.

5. A Clock shows time based on the instructions or mechanisms they are designed to follow.

6. The relativistic effects directly affect clocks.

7. In physics, time is typically treated as an independent parameter, as a fundamental dimension in which events occur. It is considered a fundamental aspect of the universe. In this sense, time itself is not subject to direct influence or change.

8. If the relativistic effects directly affect a clock, the state of time as measured by that clock would differ from the state of time as measured by an unaffected clock.

9. The clocks show time based on the instructions or mechanisms they are designed to follow. The instructions or mechanisms of clocks are not the definition of time itself, but rather they are designed to measure the passage of time in a consistent and reliable manner. Therefore, the relativistic effects cannot affect time directly since, the instructions or mechanisms of clocks are not the definition of time itself.
