[QUOTE="Biker, post: 6076193, member: 581102"] I have been thinking about what you both said. I would ask you please to check if this is correct. Assume lorentz factor is 2 Say Observer A knows he will unfortunately explode when his clock reads 5 secs and he is moving relative to observer B. When both of them were at the same point they agreed that Observer B will wave to observer A when observer B's clock reads 1 sec and that B will wave again at 10 secs in B's clock So if we look from A's perspective, When B's clock reads 1, A's clock reads 2. It will take some time for the light to travel and reach A to see the wave. A explodes when his clock reads 5, He sees B's clock read 2.5 so from his perspective, He will die before B does his 2nd wave. B will wave at A when his clock reads 1 and he will calculate that at this time A's clock reads 0.5. Then he waits to 10 secs and wave again but he knows that he did his wave as A exploded.Another example: Say observer B decides to do his 2nd wave in such time t so that it will reach A at time 10 according to his clock. So from B's perspective he thinks A will see the two waves. A does his calculation and agrees that he will see the two waves the 2nd wave will reach him as he explodes however B's clock wasnt at 10 when he did but it was 2.5 Is all of this correct? [/QUOTE]
