A/to special relativity if one is moving faster, he sees that the clocks w.r.t which he is having relative motion are ticking faster.It increases my curiosity to know what would an observer w.r.t whom the person is having relative motion see, if he observes the
watch of the traveller.Will he see that the traveller's watch is ticking slower or ticking faster?Logically he should observe that the traveller's watch is ticking slower.But it's confusing for me since both are having relative motion w.r.t each other and hence in both the frame of references we can use the same relative speed 'v'(suppose) to calculate the time interval between two events as observed by an observer in the other frame of reference, which tells both should see each other's watch ticking faster.
