Hi i have a question about how time is distorted along the length of a train moving at near light speeds.
Will the front carriage be farther foward in time than the rear carriage from stationary frame of reference? or the otherway round?
Assume that the front and rear sections had clocks that were synchronized when the train was stationary and the train took time to accelerate to near light speeds.
If the clocks were synchronized after the train accelerated will the front still be farther ahead in time than the rear section relative to the stationary frame? or the otherway round?
