... The transformation (7) is compatible with both magnetic Galilean relativity, eq. (3), and the low-velocity limit of special relativity, eq. (4). These two version of relativity differ as to the transformation of the magnetic field. In particular, if B = 0 while E were due to a single electric charge a ...

Time dilation
In the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses.An accurate clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer's own equally accurate clocks. This effect arises neither from technical aspects of the clocks nor from the fact that signals need time to propagate, but from the nature of spacetime itself.
