Imagine yourself as an astronaut being paid according to the time you spend traveling in space. You take a long voyage traveling at a speed near that of light. Upon your return to Earth, you’re asked how you’d like to be paid: To maximize your paycheck, which clock should you choose? Group of answer choices Either of the clocks should indicate the same time It's hard to decide as the spaceship's speed is to be mentioned specifically in the problem.
