Time dilation is not a phenomenon.

 

"Time dilation" as predicted by SR is _proven_ to exist.

 The term "elasticity of time" is much more appropriate.
Otherwise, we should speak of the reciprocal dilation of chronotropy. And setting To' = To/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
Time elasticity is better and corresponds more to "real" life, because a measured time can be less than a proper time (which physicists seem to fail to understand, and I've never understood the incredible scientific inhibition they have about it (I've been saying this for 40 years).
The formula for time elasticity is, however, very simple and can be taught in school.
t' = t.(1+cosµ.v/c)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
It's not that mathematicians can't understand this equation, nor that physicists can't grasp the concept; it's something else, psychological.
