It's relative, innit
I mean, I know it's just a cutesy cartoon (that I posted) but sometimes a cutesy cartoon will do.
If Einstein is speeding away from the clock tower at the SOL.. how does the light catch up with him, how does he see the clock tick.
Of course, it is ticking, just as "normal" (to an observer in an inertial frame of reference)
And then you might ask, if you're travelling at a high speed, particularly at a relativistic speed, does time slow down? Turns out it does and it's been proved.
