why a does a moving clock appears to slower for a stationary observer?

Answer 1

Because of the time dialation effect of general relativity. Each clock would appear to be running slower to the other observer.

The speed of light must be the same for all observers, and the only way to preserve the apparent speed of light for something in motion compared to something else is for the rate of time to be moving more slowly for the object in motion.

Answer 2

dats bcuz f principle f relativity, put forward by Einstein.
it says dat d faster u move, d slower d time passes fr u.
this is known as time elongation. d exact eqn is:
t' = t/[ (1-(v/c)^2 ) ^ .5]
v = speed of moving clock
c = speed f light = 3* 10^8 m/s
this wil b seen by a stationary observer. the interesting thing is dat a person on a moving frame will also see dat u, not him , have a slower clock.
Bizzarre!!!!!!!
ya, dats wt d principle f relativity states. no matter wt is ur frame f reference, effects f laws f physics look d same to every observer.

Answer 3

Actually, the observor sees images composed of light, perhaps, a clock, that appear to travel at 186,360 miles per second
no matter the .speed or direction of the source

The key word here is "appears" Our eyes and instruments, like a radio's variable condenser are set to recognise designated frequencies. We can only "see" light waves that come at a fixed frequency. Other frequencies like other radio waves cannot be seen.

Answer 4

You are changing your perspective of Time by focusing on the "Now/Present" and thus becoming more aware of Now and that makes it seem to stretch out for a longer period. Times pace hasn't changed, just your awareness.

Answer 5

yes it does
