Abstract: | It is the act of moving a clock out of one inertial frame of reference (IFR) and into another IFR which causes the clock to slow. But what of identical clocks constructed and calibrated in different IFRs? This paper takes a look at such a scenario, demonstrating that two such clocks would tick synchronously and concludes with a new look at the famous “twin-paradox” of special relativity |
