Photon and Tennis Ball
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2016 8:36 pm
Imagine you are sitting on a spaceship that is moving uniformly in a region of space where there is no gravity. You threw a tennis ball and a photon particle toward the roof of the spaceship. The ball is bouncing between the floor and the roof. The photon is bouncing between two mirrors – one on the floor and the other on the roof.
What difference you may observe between the motion of the tennis ball and the motion of the photon? Observation here means logical interpretation, not necessarily watching with your eyes.
[It's a general discussion question.]
