Thank you very much for the information. It is indeed the point of reference of B that has caught my attention the most since what I've read usually only tells how A perceives B's time to slow down which, eventhough is a strange idea, I've grown "accustomed" to it, while the fact that B would...
I do know (maybe not understand) what the concept is and I'm somewhat clarified by a few experiments that show, in conjunction with the equation of c x time = distance, how, for example, from observing B shooting a light beam to a mirror and back to him, A would measure a greater distance...
Thank you for the answer, but it is a bit confusing that the speed of the train slows the mechanical process of the clock being seen by A but not the train itself. Could you explain why?
Hello everyone,
The questions I am about to ask have probably been explained already, but even after everything I've read I still cannot understand how this experiment would play out and how to answer these questions. So without further ado here is the experiment:
Imagine you have person A...
