...and it just keeps getting better. Thanks for the help. I suppose I need to do some more research before I can really understand how this all fits together.

So the accelerating properties of moving in a circle brings this example back to the principles of general relativity. And the scenario explains itself when changed to moving in a straight line at a steady velocity due to the time and distance light takes reaching to and from each observer at...

So if A is moving super-speed, and B is stationary, they would both observe the other’s clock tick as slower than their own. Sorry for the limited understanding here, I just figured this forum would be the best place to get real answers that would put things into a personal perspective I...

Creating & interpreting a space-time graph from a formula? No. Theoretical diagram on aspects of space-time? Yes. Maybe I need more knowledge of the subject before I am allowed to continue further in my questioning of things, but I thought theory was just theory. I didn't imagine my question...

New to PF, and while I don't know much about the science behind these things, I do come in peace. I have more a philosophical understanding of special relativity, never having worked out a formula, and can't even understand the language of those physics equations. I do, however, grasp the...
