Abstract

A unicorn may be defined as a horse plus a horn. That horses abound, however, does not in itself establish the existence of unicorns. A Special Relativistic system may be defined as one that exhibits relativistic timekeeping: motion-sensitive time dilation plus position-sensitive time offset. That time dilation effects abound, however, does not in itself establish the existence of Special Relativistic systems.
