An athlete has learned enough physics to know that if he measures from the Earth a time interval on a moving spacecraft , what he finds will be greater than what somebody on the spacecraft would measure. He therefore proposes to set a world record for the 100m dash by having his time taken by an observer on a moving spacecraft . Is this a good idea?
My Answer: No, because the observer in the spacecraft would measure a longer time interval not a shorter time interval. Can anyone explain it further?
