I like a to ask a very simple question. I have read about time-dilation when it comes to SR.
So, like:
(1.) A and B are are rest and close to each other.
(2.) B starts traveling at .5C relative to A, away from A, in a straight line.
(3.) B comes back at .5C towards A.
Now, according to SR, A has aged, and B has not (or aged less).
My question is, will this work, even for angular velocity? i.e.
(1.) A and B are millions of miles apart. Say, A is on Earth, and B is at a distance 100 times that of the moon. i.e. B is at a distance, 100 times the distance between the Earth and moon.
(b.) Now, B starts traveling at .5C, but with an angular velocity relative to A. i.e. A is the center, B is rotating around A an angular velocity of .5C.
Now, will the time dilation effects of SR happen in this instance also?? Will the clock in B, tick slower, than the clock A has?
Or, does SR apply only if B travels away or towards A in a straight line?
