Hello!
I have a question.
If there is a wooden rod which burns certain time, and an astronaut inside rocket lights two such rods: one oriented along the rocket's length and the other goes across the rocket, and an observer see the rocket passing by with a relativistic speed. Will the observer see that the rod which goes along the rocket burns faster because it's length contracted?
And if we have in the rocket two clocks which use spring pendulum, and one clock is oriented so its spring oscillates along the rocket and in the other clock it oscillates across the rocket - will the first clock go slower than the second (for the observer watching the rocket passing by with relativistic speed)?
