    I have 2 queries :) : 1) In the surfing book, they said that a spaceship in geostationary orbit is an inertial frame of reference. Why is this so? I thought it was non-inertial because even though the spaceship is travelling at a constant velocity, its direction is constantly changing, and so it...

    Time Dilation Confusion :S

    oh oops, i copied the wrong answer. Yes, that was the answer. So just to confirm: t_v is the time measured by the train traveller because they are moving relative to the platform? And t_o is the observed time by the yawner because this is the rest frame where the yawn actually occurs? Thanks a...
