What is the frame of reference of time?
Question asked by: DSmaster
Asked on: 04 Jan 2009
There is a error in the set-up of this question which makes it seem a difficult one to answer when infact there is no mystery here.
Remember strictly we talk of velocity rather than speed, and velocity is a vector with a direction component to it. Therefore if we are both moving at 1m/s, we need to know in which direction also, because if we are in opposing directions then this is a very different scenario to walking in the same direction.
In fact, if we are both moving at 1m/s, this does not mean that neither of us are moving at all as the set-up seems to imply, we are both still moving at 1m/s as measured by our watch and pedometer.
