Forgive me if I'm being naive, but I thought there
were no absolute time frames, and if any time frames
existed, then they must be relative for the reasons of
special relativity. This would mean that, while if one
person is comparing his atomic clock to another
person's clock that's on a space ship they would get
different results, internally, the clocks have a
constant rate.

PS. This sounds like a typical crackpot theory steming
from a fundimental misunderstanding of a science. I
think we should drop this because, even if it is
correct (which it isn't), it is still not for
Wikipedia until he gets through the Establisment and
writes a scientific paper on it.
Regarding your PS, I was not presenting any sort of
theory. (And the fact that you thought I was does not
do wonders for your credibility.)
Regarding your opening paragraph, you seem to be merely
repeating what I said. (Except that I said nothing about
any "absolute time frames.")
