There will be a period of time which elapses between the first bullet striking the person and the second bullet striking the person. How much time elapses is the concept. What I am referring to in terms of the concept of time is the rate at which a clock ticks is not time. If a battery operated clock begins to tick slower has time changed? There are two clocks next to the person being struck by the bullets. One is a battery operated clock which is ticking slower than a second clock because the battery is about to die. The first bullet strikes the person and then the second bullet strikes the person. According to the electric clock, five seconds have passed between the first bullet striking the person and the second bullet striking the person. According to the battery operated clock three seconds have passed. How much time has passed between the first bullet and the second bullet striking the person? If there were only the battery operated clock which is ticking slow because of the dying batter then would three seconds have passed in reality between the first bullet and the second bullet if this were the only clock available for the person to read? What if the bullets were fired so far apart that a week passes between the first bullet and the second bullet striking the person. Let's say the battery operated clock is the only clock the person being struck by the bullet has access to. Let's say the battery operated clock is so close to dying that only three seconds tick off between the first and second bullets. As the person lay on his bed with the first bullet hole in them they see the Sun rise and set, rise and set, seven times between before the second bullet strikes them. Only three seconds tick off the battery operated clock in this time. The police show up and discuss with the shot person how much time had passed between the first and second bullets striking them. Now, the person was in bed for a week and saw the Sun rise and set seven times between the first shot and the second shot but only three seconds ticked off on the battery operated clock. Does the person insist three seconds passed between being struck by the first and second bullets? No, the rate at which a clock ticks has nothing to do with time. You are skiing for the day up around 12000ft and drink a plastic bottle of water. With the bottle empty and the cap on you put the empty bottle in your back pack. At the end of the day you drive to the airport which is at sea level. When you get to the airport you see your bottle is squashed. Is there less air molecules in the bottle or has the air pressure on the bottle changed? If you did not understand air pressure and insisted there was actually less air in the bottle would you be correct? Just because you do not understand it is the aether pressure on the atomic clock which causes it to tick at different rates does not mean time has changed.

The battery is not what establishes the period of modern clocks.

One reason is that the oscillation period of the torsion pendulum changes with temperature due to temperature-dependent change in elasticity of the spring. The rate of the clock can be made faster or slower by an adjustment screw mechanism on the torsion pendulum that moves the weight balls in or out from the axis." Similar to the need to adjust an atomic clock based upon the aether pressure in which it exists.
