| Sep 18, 2023 at 16:47 | comment | added | Spencer | Trula, Please answer the question. If I "sketch" this out, Alice sees herself as not moving, and bob as moving 100mph. Bob does not see the reciprocal of this. He sees himself as not moving (because freefall is an inertial frame), and he also sees Alice as stationary (always distance "x" to his left, perhaps rotating in his frame of reference). Is this right, in terms of relativity (for relative time calculations) | |
