   Hello, everyone.  I continue to be puzzled by a relativity issue:   
   Initially two persons have two synchronized clocks an are located at the   
   same point in space.  One person, B, starts moving away from person A at   
   some velocity.  We tend to view person A as "stationary" wrt person B   
   and we know that person B's clock runs slower relative to person A's   
   clock.  But if it's all relative why can't we consider person B as   
   "stationary" and consider person A in motion?  But wouldn't that mean   
   that now person A's clock would be running slower relative to B's?  I   
   know I'm missing some fundamental relativity issue(s) here.  My thanks   
   to anyone who can clear this up.  Sincerely,   
   --
