So to keep the speed of the photon constant, we have to slow down time inside the moving clock.
This is the fundamental result of special relativity, and it applies to every object, not just light clocks.
Time always slows down for an object in motion.

Only if space is curved.

Science is the doing of objecting experiments using directly testable hypotheses. where technology or more commonly funding is lacking indirect testing may be allowed but you would have a lot more trouble getting it published and your article would spend the rest of it's life getting picked to bits by undergraduates who would love to use it to practice their critique writing skills. you can prove a lot of things on paper that are very much different in the real world and i firmly consider string theory to be one of these. the great unifying theory is still yet to be found because i don't believe string theory will ever be it, besides it's founders leave a bit to be desired, if you had even bothered to look into their past exploits and scientific backgrounds that is.
