The crazy thing about special relativity is that from the perspective of the observer in the car, they&#x27;re sitting still and everyone <i>else</i> is moving. That means that the observer in the car will see the watches of people on the sidewalk ticking slowly, at the same time that the people on the sidewalk will see the car&#x27;s clock ticking slowly.<p>Everyone sees everybody else&#x27;s watch ticking slowly (unless they appear to be at rest). And yet it all hangs together in a beautifully consistent way. The catch is that moving observers don&#x27;t just disagree on whose watch is running slow, they <i>also</i> tend to disagree on whether distant clocks are correctly synchronized or not. The disagreements about which clock is ticking too slow always perfectly balance out the disagreements about which clock chimed noon earlier.
