Relativistic Distance/Time Problem

[QUOTE="PeroK, post: 6006689, member: 493650"] ##s = vt## is the defining relationship between displacement, velocity and time. These quantities must be as measured in a single frame of reference. How else would you define velocity, other than by a measured displacement in a measured time? SR tells you that the elapsed time - e.g. for the lifetime of a muon - may be different in different reference frames. You cannot directly use a time interval measured in another reference frame for a calculation in your reference frame. In Newtonian physics there is only one elapsed time for all reference frames. So, you don't need to worry about converting time intervals from one frame to another. [/QUOTE]
