clock was flown around the world while the other remained stationary on earth (Davies 8). In effect‚ the one clock that was flown around the world had time traveled ever so slightly into the future due to its increased speed. That being said‚ the metaphysical implications of this imply that if an object could reach speeds close to the speed of light‚ the resulting time warp would then be significant enough to travel a noticeable amount into the future. Furthermore‚ Einstein later proposed in his general
