Thanks JesseM I'll need to educate myself on worldlines. Your acceleration point is interesting as this can be measured absolutely without external reference. Also interesting in relation to C as acceleration could continue indefinitely without limit.

I think the concept of apparent time distortion at near-c is intuitive. Not so the idea that clocks and time itself for the "moving" party actually do slow down or speed up. I have never heard a physical explanation for this - nor did Einsteins original thought experiments ever illustrate this...

Correct JesseM, maybe this accounts for the difference in shifts nutgeb originally referred to. The very non-21 century math question then is why? Further if one object remains stationary and multiple objects move at various near-C velocities relative to it who's clocks change nd on what...

Wow. This is like questioning dogma in old times. Get properly done for it.

Hi nutgeb. Please excuse my newbie contribution, I'm not as mathematically knowledgeable and hope using a thought experiment is OK? The observation of time to us is constant. Yet there exist and have existed objects in the universe that move at various near-C speeds relative to us (somewhere at...
