Alan McDougall Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 You need to use the velocity addition formula: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity-addition_formula#Special_theory_of_relativity Their relative speed would be about 99.999999995% the speed of light. I'll leave it to you to plug that into the Lorentz equation... (it is about 10,000, I think). My question was about the time dilation effects on each object approaching each other at say your 9.9999999995 c ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If Strange is right, you'd get a dilation of about a factor of 10,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
