In practice every coin toss will differ and travelling at that speed gravity would have changed subtly from start and end of the coin toss. | |

Let's say I been at rest and measured the time it takes to perform a flip of the coin, then I entered this car, waited for it to achieve the full speed of 0.9999C and perform the experiment again. Will I measure the same time? | |
