Re: SR examination question



Regarding Mark Sylvester's question:

Am I correct in thinking that the following simple question is inadequately
specified?

Peter and Jane are each wearing a wristwatch with a second hand that takes
one minute to make one complete revolution and Peter is moving at a speed
of 0.9c with respect to Jane. When Peter observes the second hand on his
watch to have made one complete revolution, how many revolutions will Jane
observe the second hand of her watch to have made?

Yes.
