There's not much to say, but here it is in excel notation...
Came a cell "Time" another "OldTime" another "SpeedOfLight" and another "Velocity".
Velocity and SpeedOfLight must be of the same units, like miles, or kilometers or whatever other unit you like, like Biblical cubits, but I'll warn you it's hard to get an accurate value for SpeedOfLight in cubits per second...
In the Cell named "Time" goes the formula...
"=OldTime / (SQRT(1-((Velocity Velocity)/(SpeedOfLight SpeedOfLight))))"
So OldTime is whatever unit's you want them to be... like 60 could be thought of as Minutes, Seconds, years centuries, the value of Time is still accurate.
So that's the transformation in Excel for those linguistic people out there.
So if OldTime is On board time and 60 goes by (I'll assume that's minutes) and you're traveling at 186,000 (miles per second) you need SpeedOfLight to be 186,282.396 so it's in miles per second as well, your result should be 1,090.077925, so for every hour that goes by on the spaceship 18 hours ,10 minutes , 4 seconds, and 675.523 milliseconds pass for their spouce still on Earth...
Weee, this is fun!
EDIT: an asterisk goes between SpeedOfLight and SpeedOfLight, also between Velocity and Velocity...but asterisk don't show up in message...

Remember that Force = G(6.02 ^ 10 to the negative -11) times the mass of m1 and m2 decided by the distance squared.
@gsiamne Force has nothing to do with time dilation. It's like saying the Latin name for a special kind of white blood cell is Polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It's fascinating but not on topic.
I am thinking of doing a thesis on Time. I am finding the topic difficult to get my head around. Time can change without space coordinates changing at all. This makes sense to think about but now does one stay completely stopped. We are always in motion. The thoughts that we have when talking about time get difficult to express mathematically, gauge theory, for one.
