My whole gripe with the theory of relativity is that it's all about perception, not about reality. Time SEEMS to slow down, the lightning SEEMS to be hitting at different times. But it isn't. Relative to the speed of light time has stopped. But time has not actually stopped. To the monk time seems slower, but it isn't actually slower.
The theory of relativity works, but only as long as you recognize that it is a relative reality. Everyone I've ever heard use it speaks as if the relative reality is the actual reality. But it isn't. Time may seem to slow down, but it never actually does. The monk's time is slower in relative time, but in real time it is not.
