Is it true that time dilation makes a clock moving at high speed tick more slowly relative to a stationary observer's clock?
Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that a clock moving relative to an observer ticks more slowly than a clock at rest in that observer's frame, which is the standard special-relativistic time dilation result.
