When we derive the formula of time dilation using light clocks, we always consider the projected light pulse in direction perpendicular to spaceship. What if we take the direction of light pulse in same direction as aircraft ? Can someone derive the time dilation formula using the light pulse direction same as aircraft direction?(when we take direction same as spaceship then time for light pulse to reach the end of clock and return again is same for observer in spaceship but these 2 time intervals are different for observer outside the spaceship, why?)
