   That is what you have been told by Tom, me and others. You need to have those   
   clocks colocated to compare either the elapsed time or the tick rate.   
      
   However, you could perform the comparison while the clock is moving. The only   
   way to do that comparison, is to locate synchronized clocks along the   
   trajectory of the   
   relatively moving clock, so that comparisons are made between temporary   
   colocated clocks, as shown in the diagram I presented to you before.

   It is much more simpler than that: when the clocks are reunited, and so   
   they are colocated, you just can SEE this clock lags or leads the other   
   clock. Note that while the clock readings are different, the clocks   
   continue to tick at 1 sec/sec.

   The physics of the processes that make a Caesium atomic clock to work   
   are not changed when that clock moves. This should be evident to you,   
   assuming that you have travelled inside an airplane. When you take a cup   
   of coffee inside an airplane, you do it the same way you take a cup of   
   coffee at your kitchen, right?   
      
   That means that the "laws of physics" are the same inside an airplane as   
   they are at your kitchen.   
      
   So you tell us what physical law makes an atomic clock inside an   
   airplane to tick slow, compared with a ground clock?   
      
   The real explanation of the difference on the clock readings, is found   
   in the differences on the trajectories the flown clock and the ground   
   clock followed.
