The time interval measured by the relative motion observer is greater than the natural time.
symbols, variables and units
Δτ: the inherent time of the clock-moving system (s); Δt: the time of another inertial system (s).
applicable conditions and boundaries
Uniform relative motion; the acceleration process requires integration of the world line.
