Biological clocks and relativity.

Since our conversation on this subject has become more heated, I feel that we should do it via a blog. I propose that we continue our argument here instead of on the phone. Our positions have to be more cogent and we can't change our position on a subject.

The position that I wish to argue is this. If we define "absolute time" as that time which Einstein referred to that would be slowed as we approached light speed and "biological time" as the typical life span of an organism, which can be influence by many phenomenon such as healthy living or toxins, then, if there is a way to slow absolute time then biological time would be slowed too, in the exact same proportion relative to an observer whose time is not being altered, as would a watch carried by the living organism that has been subjected to the slowing of absolute time.

Would you like to argue this point with me? Or is there another argument that you were trying to make instead? The above argument is what I was trying to argue.
