Huh? I must have missed something here. I thought that experiments in the
'60's confirmed relativistic predictions of time-dilation by showing that
the half-lives of radioactive particles travelling at relativistic speeds
were time-dilated (relative to our frame of reference, that is, and perhaps
this is all you mean when attack the concept of absolute time).

We're probably just talking about different things, is all.
