Comment:	
	It is my understanding that the time compression (1-(v**2/c**2))
uses a vector v, ie. if you were to spin a clock around at a given SPEED,
very fast, so long as it was constant during each revolution, and ignoring
the fractional turns during acceleration/deceleration, the velocity is
zero since it is measured relative to the observer (In the center).
So even if the clock was a crystal or mechanical clock, not being supplied
with its time base from a source stationary with respects to the observer,
no relatavistic time compression could be observed since none would take
place.
