| Nov 30, 2020 at 16:10 | comment | added | Andrew M. | @PM 2Ring What if it’s not actually time dilation they experience? For instance, if you assume that time dilation is impossible, and space itself just contracts, you can have different contractions at various angles without problems. I’ve done some math for this and will probably post it as a separate but related question. | |

| Nov 30, 2020 at 11:07 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | Also, Why is the photon clock equivalent to all clocks?. The key point is that all clocks (in good working order), no matter their orientation or mechanism, have to experience the same time dilation. Any clock discrepancy would contradict the axiom that velocity is relative. | |
