As far as relativistic time dilation: the objective measurement of time is different depending on your time frame (Lorentz transformation).

Then explain it.

Are you thinking of "speed limit"?

No, I said "speed of light".

Thanks for your reply:

Then explain it. [relativistic time dilation]

"the objective measurement of time is different depending on your time frame" is about as concise as I can get. Time measured varies with speed of different frames of observers. Distance to gravitational mass can also be a factor. I'm really kind of lost what you're looking for, but Wiki is pretty brief and hopefully informative enough here.

No, I said "speed of light".

I thought maybe you were going for the speed of light being the speed limit. If that wasn't it, Einstein said quite a bit about light; I'm not sure where to look next. Can you say what you had in mind?
