Twin Fallacy revisited

Strich 9 - 22 Jul 2008 15:01 GMT
The twin paradox has been analyzed many times, and many answers ar
given.  Dr. Parker has pointed to the multiplicity of the answers a
proof of its underlying error.

The standard answer brings in a new set of rules.  While the paradox i
posited in the frameword of Special Relativity, the solution use
concepts in General Relativity.  "The stay at home twin experiences n
acceleration, and ages faster than the travelling twin, who experience
accelerations".  That was also how Einstein squirmed through th
solution.  Not much of an answer if you ask me.  But this is the answe
taught in physics schools, from MIT to CIT.  Is it correct?  Of cours
not!  Can I prove it?  Of course!

Thus I posit the *_David_Twin_Paradox_*:

TWINS A AND B LEAVE TWO PLANETS AND TRAVEL AT EQUAL CONSTANT VELOCIT
TOWARDS EACH OTHER AT TOTAL RELATIVE VELOCITY V.  TWIN A SEES B MOVIN
TOWARDS HIM AND AGING SLOWER, AND VICE VERSA.  WHEN THEY FINALLY MEET
WHO IS YOUNGER

Relativity analyses tells us both are younger.  Since the acceleration
are equal, if any, then these cancel out.  Still, one sees the other a
aging slower!

The common sense answer is that both age normally and are equal whe
they meet.  

This is probably the simplest proof of the failing of Relativity

Is this according to your own theory you have yet to publish?

Einstein's relativity principle  states that:

   All inertial frames are totally equivalent for
  the performance of all physical experiments.

<< In other words, it is impossible to perform a
physical experiment which differentiates in any
fundamental sense between different inertial
frames. By definition, Newton's laws of motion
take the same form in all inertial frames. Einstein
generalized this result in his special theory of relativity
by asserting that all laws of physics take the same
form in all inertial frames. >>
http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/em/lectures/node108.html

<<because special relativity was always a
provisional theory with recognized epistemological
short-comings. As mentioned above, one of Einstein's
two main two reasons for abandoning special relativity
as a suitable framework for physics was the fact that,
no less than Newtonian mechanics, special relativity is
based on the unjustified and epistemologically problematical
assumption of a preferred class of reference frames,
precisely the issue raised by the twins paradox.
Today the "special theory" exists only
(aside from its historical importance) as a convenient
set of widely applicable formulas for important limiting
cases of the general theory, but the phenomenological
justification for those formulas can only be found in
the general theory. >>

Ben, first of all, no twins ever did such an experiment
so the only way to find "age" is to use clocks.
So your "biological" age diffrence is just babble.
No such biological proof has even been done at all.

Both clocks will "change" equally from the motions incurred causing
the clock malfunctions to be "equal".
A third clock of course will show that both the traveling clocks
are still wrong.
Relativists hate third clocks.

You have a bunch of bullshit all based upon clock
malfunctions, not one thing you have on that page is an
actual experiment with anything physical at all.
Why would I bother to understand stuff based upon
a clock malfunction and all sorts of extras based upon
the same thing.
It is you that should go ring doorbells and ask people
what time it is because you sure could not sell
that webpage to anyone with a brain that knows
how clocks work.

I feel more sorry for you, since I do understand algebra and the only

OK, let's see.
YOU told me a little bit ago that (-1)*(2) = -2, and you said that
multiplying by -1 would flip the sign of the 2.
I'm confident you would tell me (-1)*(5) = -5, and (-1)*(8) = -8.
But you are now saying that (-1)*(-1) = -1?

Got a calculator, Spaceman? Or are calculators used by 4th graders
also illogical and based on illogical relativity theories?

Let me help PD, assistant janitor at Fermilab

It goes like this:

In the A frame, B is at position z and is moving with velocity -v
Using the Lorentz TE for time, the time in B slows by a factor ~gamma
B is thus aging slower than A, according to SR.

In the B frame, A is at position -z and is moving with velocity v
Using the Lorentz TE for time, the time in A slows by a factor ~gamma
A is thus aging slower than B, according to SR.

When they finally meet, each twin expects the other to have aged less
This is a logical contradiction as A less than B and B less than A ar
mathematically contradictory. To avoid the contradiction, post-moder
SR asserts that the twins are 'symmetric', blows through the Lorentz T
calculations, and then jumps to the conclusion that neither twin age
slower, arriving at what should have been a commonsense calculatio
from the beginning.

As long as SR stipulates actual time dilations result from th
calculations of the LTE, SR will always run into logica
contradictions.

No, they don't.
You have made an implicit assumption that both twins when they are
both very, very far apart and just before they commence approaching
each other, assume they are the same age.

Let me put it to another way.
Twin A, age 47, looks at twin B very far away, age 52, and sees that B
is aging less rapidly than A. When they meet, they are both age 54.
Twin B, age 47. looks at twin A very far away, age 52, and sees that A
is aging less rapidly than B.
When they meet, they are both age 54.

Now you may legitimately ask, how did the twins start their trips
toward each other at different ages? And my response to you would take
you through the steps of answering the following questions:
1. Since they are twins, at which point in the past could you be SURE
they were the same age?
2. How did they get very far away from each other, and what happened
to their respective ages as they did that, and what happened when they
turned around to start approaching each other.

You see, you still have this *assumption* of an absolute time scale,
where you think you can dump two twins at arbitrary locations and with
arbitrary relative speeds as initial conditions and that when you do
that, they will HAVE to have the same age initially. This is a poor
and unjustified assumption.

You truly are reaching for anything to hold on to that you can muster

the same age to begin with!

Obviously, assistant janitors do not play chess.  Otherwise you woul
see that I am at least 10 moves ahead of you.  

The preliminary scenario is easy to set-up.  It just belabors the poin
needlessly, and it assumes a certain level of intellectual limitatio
among the readers.  But, if you have to ask:

AN EVIL GENIUS POSITIONS HIS SPACESHIP MIDWAY BETWEEN TWO RELATIVEL

BECAUSE IT IS SO REMOTE THAT ITS LIGHT REACHES THE PLANET
SIMULTANEOUSLY.  AFTER EJECTION OF THE PROBES, THE GENIUS LEAVES FO
PLANET VICTORIA X, WHERE HE PLANS TO SEND MORE PROBES

-Again, the twins are biologically identical, physically the same age
and when they meet for the first time, are still of the same age.  BUT
applying your Lorentz transforms and janitorially assuming that tim
dilation is real, leads to the illogical conclusion that each twin i
younger than the other, a conclusion that may be tenable in a janitor'
fantasy, but not elsewhere.-

oops,

The normal answer of course would be 1 without the i.
But what is more funny is you can't understand why the -1

You might want to contemplate (1-1) * (1-1).
Done one way, one gets 0 * 0 = 0.

Done another way, one applies the distributive law three times:

(1-1)*(1-1)
= (1-1)*(1) + (1-1)*(-1)
= (1)*(1) + (-1)*(1) + (1-1)*(-1)
= (1)*(1) + (-1)*(1) + (1)*(-1) + (-1)*(-1)

So what are the values of the subproducts ?

(1)*(1) = 1
(-1)*(1) = -1
(1)*(-1) = -1
(-1)*(-1) = ?

==================

 Well if nothing else you've proved your mind's eye is completely blind.
Whether light seconds or light years, the object under [observation]
oncoming toward an observer will already be negative in time (light-time)
and be observed to be racing up through time toward the observer rather than
down which is tied to going away from the observer (racing down through time
(one light second, ten light seconds, a hundred light hours, one light year,
ten light years.....), therefore appearing to travel [backward!] in time
(APPEARING TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME!)).

 The traveler is seen to climb up out of those depths of time -- those
depths of history -- in crossing those now progressive ring-horizons of
light-time (those horizons of space-TIME) traveling toward the observer,
which is the appearance of a speed up in time, a speed up in the appearance
of clock time passing, and, therefore, the appearance of a speed up in
aging.

-------------------

 Damn it, that universe out there is the PAST observed -- a deeper and ever
deeper past always receding toward the Planck and Big Bang constant-stages
of the Universe -- in every direction going away from here and now
(everywhere here and now are)! What the hell other space-TIME environment
would any traveler....any traveler at all....be observed to go away from
observers into except backward (-) in time [time stepping] into those
histories (-), those recessionary (or retarded) times (-), from here and now
(0)? or, conversely, move, oncoming, toward observers here and now (0) up
(+) from out of (-)? Blind and stupid! Stupid!! STUPID!!!! That traveler
distant in space-TIME will look younger right where he is -- in the
distance -- than either he or his twin actually are. His clock will
[apparently] be in the past (-) right with that distant space / earlier time
image of him, clocking distantly historical time, behind the times, but
clocking time very swiftly, VERY SWIFTLY!, on its way to catching up to the
object reality of ITSELF upon arrival here and now (0)!

 Of everyone here, only Tom Roberts [seems] to be catching on that
observation is NOT the object reality of the thing being observed. That the
observation is behind in time -- however great or slight -- to the object
reality. Thus the object reality is in the future of the imagery in the
observation and there is only one clock that can / will handle both the
clock time of the observer and the clock time of the object reality
traveler: subbing (standing in) for the clock and clock time of the object
reality traveler so to tell the observer the difference in distance -- in
TIME at least -- between the historical traveler [observed] and the
[unobserved] object reality.

 For example: Sol is eight minutes out front in time of the [eight minute
younger] Sol observed from Earth. The object reality is eight minutes
older...its real-time NOW clock eight minutes in the future of the clock and
clock time OBSERVED! The Earth observer's clock is the clock handling the
difference in distance in time between Sol [observed] and Sol [unobserved].
It also handles telling the difference in distance in time between Andromeda
and its clock [observed from Earth] and Andromeda NOW and its NOW clock
[unobserved].... and so on the rest of the known universe, subbing (standing
in) for every unobserved / unobservable NOW clock. It stands in, here and
now, [as] the distant NOW clock [versus] the observed! Regarding travelers
oncoming to destinations, the [observed image-traveler] must apparently
ACCELERATE UP IN TIME, thus apparently accelerating up in age, in order to
close that distance -- to annihilate that difference in a merger only
occurring immediately at the locality of the observer -- between younger
historical traveler / clock [observed] and older object reality traveler /
clock [unobserved].

The seen but unreal has to accelerate up in time to catch and become one
with the unseen real...AT ARRIVAL AT THE OBSERVER!

 Now in the microverse, versus the macroverse, neither of them are
"unreal".

Yes, I hear you hollering, "Bring 'em on! Is that all you've got?"
The simple fact is, though, that you're quite capable of proving
yourself the fool without any of our help. It's actually more fun to

f.cking imbecile.  Acceleration is irrelevant by trivial
demonstration.  READ IT, JACKASS:

The ratio by which the twins have aged at the end when they are back
together again is the same in all reference frames:

ratio = sqrt(t^2 - x^2 - y^2 - z^2)/t (with units of c=1)

Inertial frames with relative *velocities* pursue different paths
through spacetime. No clock anomaly is apparent in any of them until
clocks are compared (by all being local when you do it, initial
calibration then experiment).  The situation is NOT symmetric.

Past acceleration is irrelevant to the running of present clocks but
not to the mixture of space and time in the reference frame that said
clocks measure. You cannot synchronize clocks except by having them
local. If they are local at the start, you can tell who was naughty
thereafter without measuring acceleration.

Given three identical clocks that are off (a state of not running, or
of not even having been fabricated) and zeroed. Each clock has/will
have a very short toggle jiggger switch sticking out. We load them (or
their parts, or ore and a smelter and a machine shop) in individual
spaceships and set up then experiment.

CLOCK 1: That's our clock. It sits stationary in our inertial
reference frame with a little jigger sticking out. Touch the jigger
and the "off" state becomes "on" or the "on" state becomes "off."
Clock 1 is "off." Or we can build it from parts just before we need
it, and in the "off" state, zeroed.

CLOCK 2: In a spaceship traveling at 0.999c relative to our inertial
frame of reference. Clock 2 is "off." It was built after all
acceleration ceased, and set to zero. It skims past Clock 1 (our
clock), the jiggers touch, both Clocks 1 and 2 are now "on" and
locally synchronized by touching. Elapsed time accumulates in each
one. The situation is NOT symmetric!

CLOCK 3: In a spaceship traveling at 0.999c relative to our inertial
frame of reference, but 180 degrees counter in direction to Clock 2.
Clock 3 is zeroed and "off." It was built after all acceleration
ceased, and set to zero.

Some arbitrary time after Clocks 1 and 2 synchronize and turn "on" by
touching, Clocks 2 and 3 brush past each other, touching jiggers.
Clock 2 is now "off," Clock 3 is now "on." Write down the elapsed time
in now "off" Clock 2, then smash the clock with a sledgehammer. Or
melt it down, or toss it over the side. The spaceship with Clock 3 is
returning back over the path taken by the spaceship with Clock 2.

CLOCK 1: That's our clock. It sits stationary in our inertial
reference frame with a little jigger sticking out. Clock 3 rushes
past, jiggers touch. Clocks 3 and 1 are now off. All clocks are off.
No clock has accelerated while "on" or even while existing. Write down
elapsed times, smash each clock with a sledgehammer. Or melt them
down, or toss them.

BOTTOM LINE: Get all three slips of paper together... Accelerate as
you need. Or send all the results to all three folks by radio and
never decelerate. All clocks have been smashed, melted, tossed. Their
elapsed times were written down. The numbers on the papers won't
change when you accelerate or broadcast the data.

Finally.... compare elapsed times. Elapsed time #2+#3 does not equal
#1, the local stationary reference frame summation. The sum of #2+#3
elasped time is only about 4.5% that than of #1's accumulated elapsed
time. You have the Twin Paradox (Triplets) without any running clock
having been accelerated - or having even existed during acceleration
up or down.

I will give you a chance,
Prove that clocks do not malfunction by

Igor the Kangaroo, the shell game is played by relativity.  

In the twin paradox, for some magical reason, only the travelling twi
ages slower, though the correct application of the Lorentz transform
with either frame implies that both twins age slower.  [This is bette
illustrated in the David Twin paradox, where both twins ar
travelling.]  But nooooo.  Relativity suddenly invokes the normal agin
twin as sitting in a *special absolute stationary* frame to explain th
discrepancy.

Welcome to the idiot club, pseudononymous idiot #4003.

One of the traveling twins accelerates. That's why one ages more.

Too bad the twin scenario (it's not a paradox) has absolutely nothing
to do with the Lorentz transformation at all.  Nor does it have
anything to do with frames.  It has to do with the differing invariant
path lengths of each twin through spacetime, otherwise known as proper
time intervals.

Actually, I already explained it to you.  If you cannot understand

Sorry, but the application of the Lorentz transformation to the
traveling twin is NOT done correctly if it shows the earth twin aging
slower. Which frame of the traveling twin are you using to do the
Lorentz transform? He occupies at least two.

| The twin paradox has been analyzed many times, and many answers are
| given.  Dr. Parker has pointed to the multiplicity of the answers as
[quoted text clipped - 24 lines]
|
| This is probably the simplest proof of the failing of Relativity.

The simplest proof is to revert to the postulates and strip away the
rhetoric
surrounding them.

Postulates:
1) "Examples of this sort" (paragraph 2, section 1, "Electrodynamics..")
refers to the principle of relativity introduced in the first paragraph,
"Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and
a conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative
motion of the conductor and the magnet..."

Obviously the term "relative motion" must be understood by the reader
and IS the example referred to.
The verbal diarrhoea about the unspecified "laws of electrodynamics and
optics"
is totally irrelevant and no further use of it is made in the paper.

2) "light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c
which
is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body" and "plays the
part,
physically, of an infinitely great velocity" has no experimental foundation.
In fact the Michelson Morley experiment indicates Einstein's conjecture to
be
false, although there is no proof from that since the emitter and receiver
are
relatively at rest, there is no v. We must resort to Sagnac and the modern
ring
laser gyroscope which depend on the principle of relativity for that, though
few understand it.

3) "the ``time'' required by light to travel from A to B equals the ``time''
it requires
to travel from B to A" is vital to Einstein's paper and once again, no
experimental
evidence for this wild conjecture is known.

It is this third "postulate" (although Einstein attempts to disguise it by
calling it a
definition) that leads directly to paradox via Einstein's incompetent
mathematical
manipulations. Time is not a vector and cannot be treated as though it were.
Quite simply it has no additive inverse and if tau is less than t then we
must
have tau = t - delta t. There can be no delta t.

The simplest EXAMPLE of Einstein's fallacy is contained within his own
paper, "a balance-clock at the equator must go more slowly, by a very
small amount, than a precisely similar clock situated at one of the poles
under otherwise identical conditions."
Time accumulates, a balance clock at the equator if left to run will record
a
million years, theoretically. The "very small amount" at the pole also
accumulates
and becomes significant, which means the equator becomes more advanced
in its orbit around the Sun than the pole, reshaping the Earth. Einstein
must have
been a founder member of the Flat Earth Society.

You mean crude versions of *Special* Relativity?

The scenario you outlined is formally derived:

<< without affecting the value of $K$ at $P$, we can
choose coordinates such that $P=(0,0,0,0)$ in both
$S$ and $S'$. Since the orientations of the axes in
$S$ and $S'$ are, at present, arbitrary, and since
inertial frames are isotropic, the relation of $S$ and $S'$
relative to each other, to the event $P$, and to the locus
of possible events $Q$, is now completely symmetric. >>
http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/em/lectures/node109.html

And that suports  <<...Einstein's relativity principle,
which states that:

   All inertial frames are totally equivalent for the
   performance of all physical experiments.

In other words, it is impossible to perform a physical
experiment which differentiates in any fundamental
sense between different inertial frames. By definition,
Newton's laws of motion take the same form in all
inertial frames. Einstein generalized this result in his
special theory of relativity by asserting that all laws
of physics take the same form in all inertial frames. >>

:>)
Now why would that be an issue?
Let's take a simple, freshman, first-three-weeks-of-class example,
commonly called an Atwood machine. It consists of two weights
connected by a cable draped over a pulley, and the question is what
the speed of the heavier weight is when it hits the ground, if it is
released from rest.
Classical physics tells you there are multiple ways to get the same
answer:
1. Newton's laws of motion and the equations of kinematics.
2. Conservation of momentum and the application of impulse
3. Conservation of energy and the conversion of potential energy to
kinetic energy.
4. A two-body Lagrangian with one constraint and the principle of
least action.
5. A Hamiltonian and Hamilton's equations.

Now, do you suppose that classical mechanics is wrong because there is
more than one way to account for what happens?

Do you have the SLIGHTEST idea what you're talking about?

Accelerations do not automatically relegate the problem to general
relativity. Accelerations are handled by special relativity just fine.
Secondly, one does not need accelerations as an essential and
indispensable part of the explanation. A simple spacetime diagram and
the fact that one of the worldlines is less straight than the other is
also fine to explain the result.

Do you have the SLIGHTEST idea what you're talking about?

Actually, Einstein neither posed the problem nor proposed any of the
many solutions.

Do you have the SLIGHTEST idea what you're talking about?

Of course, no one would ask you. You apparently don't have the

How does one see another aging slower, if they are far way from each
other. Please define carefully what this means to you? If I am 10,000
miles away from you and approaching you, how does your aging more
slowly manifest itself to me, do you think?

Yes, this is certainly true, and this is what relativity predicts as
well.

> This is probably the simplest proof of the failing of Relativity.

Well, it certainly proves that you don't have the SLIGHTEST idea what
you're talking about. In addition, it proves that you are easily
confused. And it further proves that when you are confused about a
problem, you blame the problem. And it further proves that, if you
clearly do not understanding a subject, you consider it a failing of
the subject. Now, why you would want to prove all those things in a
public forum is probably an indicator of yet another personality
disorder, but we'll set that aside.

  There are many ways to look at the "paradox"... the are often
  more ways than one, as you should know.

    Their mother must have had a very long uterus. That or you have
misunderstood simultaneity.
   One can't have two twins who have lived their entire lives on
these two different planets. The twins would have been born in a
specific point of space at a specific time. There has to be some
travel history previous to your experiment that places them on
different planets. Therefore, you don't know which twin is physically
older at the start of your experiment. Therefore, your initial
conditions are ambiguous.

   Depends on how they got there.
   Suppose Twin A and Twin B were born on planet B. However, Twin A
traveled by rocket to planet B. Then when twin B gets to planet B, he
looks 80 years younger than twin A when the experiment starts. Then,
when they both rocket to the planet M (the center), twin B still looks
younger.

Or,
 Suppose Twin A and Twin B were born on planet M, in the exact
middle. However, Twin A traveled by rocket to planet A and twin B
travels by rocket to planet B. Then when twin A gets to planet A, he
looks exactly as old as twin B when the experiment starts. Then, when
they both rocket to the planet M (the center), twin A still looks the
same age as twin B.

    Common sense says that twins can't be born on different planets.

   Not the accelerations that occurred before the experiment.

     No. During the experiment, each one sees the other as aging
slower. However, one of them may have seen the other age at a
different rate before the experiment.

    The common sense answer is that twins can't be born on different
planets.

   This is probably the simplest proof of not understanding the word
"twin."
