A few weeks back the thought came into my mind that time cannot pass slower for someone relative to me. Imagine a train speeding along at 100km/hr relative to an observer not on the train. Someone on the train fires a bullet in the direction of the train at a speed of 500km/hour. The bullet will pass the observer at 600km/hr. If someone on that train shone a beam of light from a torch in the same direction of the train, Einstein assumed that you should add the speed of the train to the speed of light. Since the speed of light is always constant to the observer, he came up with a new theorem. However, the bullet is taken onto the train. The beam of light emanates from the torch. Do the photons ever rest on any part of anything which is on the train. If they don't, they are not "on" the train. Is there a flaw in my logic?
Regarding the experiments performed to prove time slows down, there are very few and none provide enough detail to substantiate them.
