What happens if both parties are moving? They start back to back, fly a distance, both turn around and meet. Each should see the other as dilated, no?

- p-schultz 7y agoThere is no difference between you moving with velocity X and the other party moving with velocity -X; or you moving with velocity 2X and the other party being stationary; or you being stationary and the other party moving with velocity -2X. There is no experiment you can perform that will tell the difference.
- ars 7y agoYou missed the point that both parties accelerate, we are not talking about constant velocity here.
