The two parallel mirrors in the light clock are 1 light year apart, vertically. My reference frame which encompasses this clock, is traveling horizontally. The mirrors are 1cm wide. My reference frame is traveling much faster than 1cm/year.
Does the light in the light clock reach the second mirror after leaving the first? Or does the light escape from the light clock?
How does light stay within a light clock when the reference frame is moving perpendicular to the motion of the light in the clock? Doesn't light travel independently of any inertial frame?
