'''Time dilation''' is a [[phenomenon]] (or two phenomena, as mentioned below) described by the [[theory of relativity]].  It can be illustrated by supposing that two observers are in motion relative to each other, and/or differently situated with regard to nearby gravitational masses. They each carry a clock of identically similar construction and function.  Then, the point of view of each observer will generally be that the ''other'' observer's clock is in error (has changed its rate).
