OK, here's my two bits.  Even in special relativity, a time dialation occurs
only between two reference frames whose velocity w.r.t. each other approaches
the speed of light.  Since the cord is very strong, a simple rotational
transform will reduce the problem to one where their velocity is 0, thus no
time dilation occurs.  Of course, since the reference frames are undergoing
acceleration, all bets are off.
