That "I am slower than you, you are slower than me" is the masterpiece of nonsense even in relativity. | |

| Jan 22, 2018 at 11:56 | comment | added | Cheers and hth. - Alf | Uhm, I see nothing but assertions here. As stated in a comment elsewhere, in my view (arrived at after posting the question) “the key to resolving this, for me, is to look not at "running slow" or "running fast", which are invalid simplifications in this context, but rather at clock skew, progressively larger difference in time as the distance gets greater, in two inertial systems with some relative speed.” So, it's not really a big mystery to me, any more. Still, even if SR works out for this problem, it doesn't work out for e.g. a closed spherical universe. So you're right to be skeptical. | |
