Assumption: Object 1 is moving and object 2 is static.
It is impossible to say which object is moving without any reference object 3. There are three scenarios possible.
1. Reference object 3 is at same position in space time with object 2, then object 1 is moving and object 2 is static.
2. Reference object 3 is at same position in space time with object 1, then object 2 is moving and object 1 is static.
3. Reference object 3 is at different position in space time with object 1 and object 2, then both objects are moving.
Assume that object 1 and object 2 have watches.
According to Einstein's theory, time slows down for the moving object than the static object.
Question: If object 1 is movingat the speed of light at some speed large enough that time dilation effects are noticeable, which watch will have slower time? Watch with object 1 or watch with object 2?
