This required abandoning the idea that there is a universal quantity called time that all clocks measure. Instead, everyone would have his own personal time. The clocks of two people would agree if they were at rest with respect to each other but not if they were moving.

If you wanted to live longer, you could keep flying to the east so the speed of the plane added to the earth
