I'm just trying to figure out the basic concepts of relativity and I just seem to confuse myself more the more I think about it.
Consider a moving observer O' at velocity v in one dimension.
Two simultaneous events, each distance L away from the observer occur.
What is the time difference between the 2 events as observed by O'?
How far will the moving observer O' be observed to have moved during this time difference by a stationary observer O.
Time Dilation
Length Dilation
:(
Is there like a trick to approaching questions like this and to understand the basic concepts for this kind of stuff?
Cheers guys.
EDIT: Should have probably put this onto the introductory forums. Sorry!
