Question:

Galileo used his pulse like a clock to measure time intervals by counting the number of heartbeats. If Galileo were traveling in a spaceship, moving uniformly at a speed near that of light, would he notice any change in his heart rate, assuming the circumstances of his travel produced no significant physiological stress on him? If someone on Earth were observing Galileo with a powerful telescope, would he or she detect any change in Galileo’s heart rate relative to the resting rate on Earth? Explain your answers.
