Lorentz invariance means the laws of physics remain the same in all inertial reference frames. Also a spaceship going 99.9999…% the speed of light.

This leads to effects like time dilation, length contraction and the speed of light itself.

The metronome can keep going at any speed independent on the speed of its own reference frame.
