Funnily, that works only if the two observers are in rest relative to each other, as relativity theory tells us. :-)
- amelius 10y agoIn this case both observers are continuously accelerating towards the center of the Earth (because the Earth is spinning). So the theory actually doesn't work!
- Bromskloss 10y agoAren't we accelerating _away_ from the Earth to an even larger extent as we are held up by its surface, against the natural motion of falling downwards?
