Does it work in the other direction, or can you only take away time velocity to give to space velocity?
i.e., can you make your time slow down by coming to a full and complete "stop" in space, since I assume nothing in the universe is truly at rest?
- burgerbrain 16y ago"So is there any such a thing as a complete and full "stop" in space" No, and that is why in a nutshell why this explanation is actually doing a disservice.

If we take this and your statement further, we could just declare that all analogies are doing a disservice, and all pop science writers should be flogged.
