Theoritically it has been assumed that If a PERSON on earth sees the space-ship which is travelling at near-to-light speed relative to earth, then the space-ship wpuld be seen in a SLOW MOTION(TIME SLOWED DOWN) . Wheareas if the person on the SHUTTLE sees the person on earth then, to him it appears that the fellow on earth is in a fast-forwarded motion......So what is the reason behind this?????!!!!!!!!!

Wrong.
Both would see the others frame slowed down.

The theory of relativity says that each observer sees things as if he or she were standing still. So the person on the planet sees the shuttle time-compressed. And the person on the shuttle sees the planet time-compressed.
However, the appearance of the other being time compressed does not mean that either person is moving into the future. If anything, moving near the speed of light can cause time travel backwards in the manner of the neutron star tube with moving end, a very special machine designed by Kip Thorne.

ability travels on the cost of light. So whether you turn the entire deliver into organic ability the optimal speed is the cost of light. there's no longer something which could commute speedier than the cost of light with the aid of area. the only thank you to try this is to control area itself, the thought at the back of megastar Trek's warp force. The deliver, relative to the close by area this is in, is traveling at a speed slower than the cost of light yet by some potential the warp force strikes the completed close by area that the deliver sits in. there's no speed decrease on how briskly area itself ought to circulate.

'The space-ship which is traveling at near-to-light speed relative to earth' implies "the earth is traveling at near to light speed relative to the space-ship"
That is why it is called relative and not absolute.
The physical laws will be the same for both observers.
If 'A' finds that B's time is slow, B finds that A's time is slow.

No. Each observer sees the other's clock run slowly.
If they ever want to compare their watches to see which one is older, they need to get into the same reference frame. To do that, one or the other must accelerate, and that is the difference between them.
And this is not *assumed.* It is a logical conclusion from the constancy of the speed of light. GR is the best-supported theory in science. It's a fact if there ever was one.

The ship has mass. Therefore, it may not go the speed of light.
