This discussion centers on the concepts of length contraction and time dilation as described by Einstein's theory of relativity. When observing a high-speed rocket, an observer on Earth perceives the rocket's length as contracted, while the observer on the rocket perceives the Earth's length as contracted as well. Additionally, both observers experience time dilation, where each sees the other's clock running slower compared to their own. This mutual observation is a fundamental aspect of relativistic physics.

waqarrashid33 said:Suppose I am standing on the Earth surface and observing a rockhet of very high speed then i will see the length the rocket contracted and abserver on the rocket will also see my length contracted(I am not sure about it)in the direction of motion.
Is the same case takes place with time dialation?
If Not then why?
