Special relativity is hard to visualize and observe. But it's not impossible. Get yourself a couple atomic clocks--one you leave at home and the other you take on a plane trip. Fly around a while, and bring your atomic clock back to the one you left home to compare the clocks. Voila! Time dilation. OK...not so easy to do without the right equipment.
