Duplicate of Time dilation clock experiment: what would happen if the clock were flipped 90 degrees? | |
| Jul 22, 2020 at 17:25 | comment | added | Jeff Bass | @PM2Ring That's it! What I was missing was that the clocks would have to go through the same number of ticks regardless of reference frame. | |
