I understand how SR and GR state that any systems moving with respect to another will undergo the effects that they do, but I feel compelled to think that there must be some sort of reference frame... and the only way I can conceive of knowing it, would be by the idea that time would move...

I guess my point is that it doesn't produce the same result... increasing the speed of the rotating objects together changes their rate of time passage. The external observer can see their rate of rotation prior to the change in speed, and determine it to be some fairly stable value...

Well, in the scenario I described, I think that the apparent rotation rate would decrease as the speed approached c, but this would be problematic, as it would imply that the force of gravity between the two objects had decreased... From One paired objects perspective, it would only be able...

I've come up with a scenario which seems to be something of a paradox to me: Imagine, if you will, two similar rotating objects orbiting each other at a fixed distance, sharing the same rotational plane. These two objects now experience acceleration to some fixed speed along their shared axis...

First off, I'd like to point out that I am by no means an expert in this area, and I am only doing some casual research as a personal interest topic, and have some further unanswered questions that I'm unable to find reasonable answers for. These questions are all inter-related, so I'll post...
