Thread rating:  |
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

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. >> http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s4-07/4-07.htm

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 STATIONARY PLANETS A AND B. HE SENDS TWO PROBES PA AND PB WITH TW CLONE EMBRYOS C121-A AND C121-B TO THE PLANETS. NEED I SAY THE SPEE OF THE PROBES ARE EQUAL. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE PLANETS, TH LIFE-SUSTANING ATMOSPHERE TRIGGERS THE GROWTH OF THE TWINS. WITH EAC TWIN IS AN INSTRUCTION. UPON SEEING THE EXPLOSION OF A DISTAN SUPERNOVA X-888, THEY ARE TO START THEIR TRAVEL TOWARDS THE OTHE PLANET. BEING A GENIUS AND NOT A JANITOR, THE SUPERNOVA IS CHOSE 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.-

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

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

OK, you are an ignorant a.s. Here we go... 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 the 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.
Idiot.

Androcles - 22 Jul 2008 20:25 GMT | 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.

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. >> http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/em/lectures/node108.html

:>) 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?

"The stay at home twin experiences no > acceleration, and ages faster than the travelling twin, who experiences > accelerations". 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.

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.

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.

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.
