Ah now I understand the difference, but then I'll just rephrase my questions to include observe:
Is it true that no matter what, observers will observe moving clocks ticking more slowly than their own? Is there a situation where observers will see observe clocks ticking faster than their own...
I see, last few questions then:
Is it true that no matter what, observers will see moving clocks ticking more slowly than their own? Is there a situation where observers will see moving clocks ticking faster than their own?
Oh wow okay, things are starting to make more sense now that I know that...
But again, is there ever a situation that you'd see someone moving exceptionally fast? Or is it always the preferred option (I understand preferred is a physics term which I have no idea what it means, I'm using it...
Mm yes I see, spacetime is the only absolute.. Well then is there ever a scenario where a viewer would see the other person moving exceptionally fast? And if so, what's the difference from the situation I previously presented?EDIT: Also, doesn't kinetic energy increase as speed increases? And if...
Now I know there's another thread like this, and I read through it but still don't understand... So I'll present my own 'case' here.
Two astronauts pass each other in space at speeds close to that of light (let's say one is at rest while the other one has a velocity greater than zero). As...
