A spaceship is moving at 0.66 c (0.66 times the speed of light) with respect to the earth. An observer on the spaceship measures the time interval between two events on earth as 38 hrs. If the spaceship had been moving with a speed of 0.94 c with respect to the earth, what would the time interval between the events have been?
