If clock A, B and C are synchronized; At t=0, C leaves A (at 0.866c) and as it arrives at B, clock B reads 2 seconds; what each clock A and C would read; how long it took for C to arrive at B, and where do you see time dilation in this set up?

If time dilation slows down time, from our perspective, near a black hole, how can we see the gravity waves from two colliding black holes? Should we see them just get closer, but never actually collide?

Why does time dilation not happen symmetrically? If I am at rest and a friend is moving I will perceive him aging slower. But from his perspective I am the one moving away at the same speed. Why does he see me age faster and not slower as well?

What would happen if a someone born in 1990 went somewhere where time was slowed, and someone born in 2000 stayed in normal time, than the person born in 1990 came back to the normal time? Would he be biologically younger because of time dilation?

If you drive a car in a straight line, eventually you'll wind up where you started. Why? Because the Earth is a sphere. What is an equally satisfying answer, with the same flavor, to the question of why time dilation and length contraction happen?

About time dilation, say you are standing still in the middle of space, no gravitational force applied to you, therefore you're not moving through space nor time, would you still age?
