This is something that has confused me and I haven't been able to find anything that explains this specifically (I think I'm just misunderstanding something fundamental lol). Time dilation says if you're moving away from a clock at near or at the speed of light, the clock would slow down or freeze, so you're experiencing time differently. Isn't that just experiencing the light that's reflected differently? Time is still happening, you're just outrunning the light that's reflected off the hand moving. Are time and light the same thing?
