If time dilation is mutual then no one can age faster. That means both clocks are going equally slow which is of course nonsense. Mitch Raemsch

That means both > clocks are going equally slow Quite correct .. both age at the same rate in their own frame. It is only when one tries to measure the age of the other that is moving in their frame that they get a lower value. Of course, if there is a change in the rest frame of reference for one of them, then that changes simultaneity (ie causes a 'jump' in time) .. then its a different situation > which is of course nonsense. Mitch again shows he's never really studied physics, but still feels the need to make his ignorance public. Go figure.

And if it is going slower at all possible observations how can that clock age more?

But it is measured as slower by the moving observer. > at all possible observations how can that clock age more? Read what I wrote.
