Hi to all! I’m just curious about something in time dilation. This is the case: IMAGINE you are a passenger in a trolley moving as fast as the speed of light. Then there is a very huge clock capable of being seen wherever the viewer is. The velocity of the trolley is c and moving away from the huge clock. The current time in the huge clock is 12 noon, the same as the time in YOUR watch before you start moving. As the trolley moves, if I’m correct, you infinitely see the time in the huge clock as 12 noon, but you see the time in your watch running normally- 60 seconds per minute. If your trolley keeps moving at this pace for 1 hour, based on an outside observer looking at the huge clock, then suddenly stops and you look immediately at the huge clock, will you see the huge clock having a time of 1 pm, meaning from 12 noon then 1 pm immediately? I know time dilation but I would appreciate if you’ll discuss how it happens in this case.
Thanks a lot!
