I saw you marked this as intermediate however based on the question I thought you may be looking for a simple association for time dilation, mass and distance. That answer is, your distance to a mass is directly related to the strength you'd experience from it's gravitational field; ergo time...

Do you see the contradiction for a case of the Muon and Earth observers if "seeing" each others clock running slowly"; the actual decay rate observations from either observer necessitate only the muon clock to be running slow relative to the Earth clock as calculated and explained in the...

Not so, in the case of the twin paradox when the space traveling twin has turned around and accelerated back towards Earth they see a contracted distance to the Earth relative to the Earth twin (who does not); the space traveling twin also sees the Earth observers clock as running fast relative...

That appears to contradict this section of the example: "In the muon experiment, the relativistic approach yields agreement with experiment and is greatly different from the non-relativistic result. Note that the muon and ground frames do not agree on the distance and time, but they agree on...

It's not a paper, it's an example of the actual muon problem with a calculated solution as per SR. Just substitute Alice and Bob for muon and Earth observers to ask your question or make your point (I don't want misunderstandings between us do to syntax i.e. "Alice and Bob").

Forget "Alice and Bob" use the muon example in the Georgia State University link above. It represents a real observed phenomenon.

Exactly and their clocks don't agree on the value of t.

I was talking about the distance between them as the OP inferred he should see an apparent velocity change and that should imply the distance from his position would decrease also. I was not discussing that the object would appear length contracted in its direction of motion. (like a muon...

Realize it is not your clock that slows. If something were moving relative to you than it is the clock of that thing that is slow relative your clock; your measure of their velocity or distance doesn't change. Their measure of distance does in fact disagree with yours and would be shorter and...

Exactly, there is no cause and effect and the "faster than light" is an illusion. Its as if I pre-arranged a time for someone 1 light hour away to send me a message "help is on the way" then 59 minutes after that time I send out to them an SOS. It would appear we communicated faster than light...

I don’t see how you can conclude anything other than; the empty seat at one end traveled at ½ meter per second relative to the people and became an occupied seat and the occupied seat at the other end traveled at the same rate and became an empty seat? The only way to come to your conclusion is...

Again I think you answer your own question, possibly without realizing it? Yes, we can extrapolate physics for a space like interval; however those physics cannot affect two events with such an interval since nothing can travel faster than light, including gravity. In other words, how could you...

I'm trying to understand exactly what you are asking because you appear to answer the question when you say: Since you already know physically a time could not pass for a light like or space like interval, what are you trying to ask?

Great article with many good insights; I wish more people here were as patient and generous helping others as you.
