Time dilation is a fact and has been verified. Perhaps you should alleviate your scientific ignorance and check it out on the web. Or would you like me to do it for you?

Then they measured a set of transitions within the lithium as electrons hopped between various energy levels. The frequency of the transitions served as the ‘ticking’ of the clock. Transitions within lithium ions that were not moving served as the stationary clock. The researchers measured the time-dilation effect more precisely than in any previous study, including one published in 2007 by the same research group. “It’s nearly five times better than our old result, and 50 to 100 times better than any other method used by other people to measure relativistic time dilation,” says co-author Gerald Gwinner, a physicist at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/einsteins-time-dilation-prediction-verified/ It''s a fact.

His theories suggested that the universe was dynamic and he thought it was static. He later accepted the observational evidence from Hubble that the universe was indeed dynamic but expanding.
