How can you prove to me that you are moving? All Movement is relative to other objects Imagine you are standing on a train moving quite fast, and your friend is standing on the platform. As the train passes, two bolts of lightning strike the front and back of the train at the same time. Which bolt does your friend see first? How about you?

Do you get it?
Suzy and Lucy are twin 12 year old girls. Suzy gets on a rocket ship that can travel at the speed of light. She goes to see a comet that is 5 light years away, takes a picture, and travels back to Earth to show her sister. When Suzy returns from the comet, how old are Suzy and Lucy? Why? Back up your answer.
