Rossi and Hall measured the extent to which this phenomenon affected mu mesons observed at the top of a mountain and at sea level. This concept explains why simultaneity is not absolute for individuals separated by a long enough distance, and in the transverse Doppler effect, it explains the frequency reductions seen by both observers. A gedanken-experiment involving this effect concerns the aging of an individual traveling in space versus one remaining stationary on earth. The twin paradox arises from, for 10 points, what consequence of special relativity whereby clocks in moving reference frames tick slower than those in stationary ones?
