Sep 6, 2017 at 18:48 comment added CR Drost This is an exceptionally unclear answer to a relatively old post. There is no paradox in two inertial frames moving relative to one another; one simply moves relative to the other. That each one observes the other's clocks as ticking slower is (a) not quite true (it depends on the relativistic doppler formula a bit) and (b) does not generate any paradoxes in the actual causality of the universe (you imagine, say, that they call each other up and "we'll see who is talking slower", this idea seems plausible until you reflect that your phones are engineered out of light pulses...).
