Just as in the so-called twins paradox .. both twins watches

what is tha difference between
really older and just older?
None, of course, I was just emphasising that it is a *real*
difference
..
not just some sort of optical illusion, or an error in the
ticking
of
a
clock.
thanks, so if clock is good, he becomes
really older for no reason
And how did you conclude that nonsense from what I said? No wonder
you
have
problems with physics .. you can't even comprehend written
language,
let
alone the mathematics and logic involved.
you said clock no error, but he really gets older
Yes .. he really gets older (the twin that stays at home compared to
the
twin the travels).
You really are incredibly slow understanding things
my bad, sorry for thar
If you really are, then that's fine, I am perfectly willing to let
bygones
be bygones. Just cut the attitude and hostility.
In the so-called twins paradox, the travelling twin has experienced
less
elapsed time because its path through space-time (which involves
changes
how would you know about others experiences
When they reunit they can have a nice little chat over some coffee ..
that
but when thay reunit is too late, becus their internal
clocks clocks synchronously
From the moment of reuniting on .. yes .. but the difference in elapsed
time
happens during the journey ..
but there is no differnce you said
I said no such thing .. Please don't lie about what I said if you wish to be
treated nicely
if it is, then where?
What do you mean 'where'? You look at one clock and the other clock and see
that the time shown is different.
where went tha diffenrece?
It didn't go anywhere .. one twin simply took a path of less elapsed time ..
just like (as an analogy) a car taking a path of shorter distance between
two points)
the travelling twin is younger than the at
home twin.
this statement is kind of weird
Well .. that is why the twins 'paradox' is called a paradox. not because it
is self-contradictory or cannot happen, but because it is contrary to what
one would intuitively expect.
with no palpable time diffenrece
But there *is* a difference .. how many times do I have to tell you that?
there is
no such a younger nor older
Yes .. there is
you need a time difference in order to make
one older than another
And that is why I have consistently said there is a difference. Gees, can't
you understand simple sentences?
and therfore you cant put your finger on his clock
and say "look, his clock si clocking slower than
tha other clock" you put yuor other finger on
You can do that during the trip, however. Look up the doppler analysis
of
the twins paradox
doppler is false interpretation,
No .. it is not
you never measure dopplers
Yes .. you can
you only do biased interpretations on
false intuitions
No. Have you even looked at the Doppler analysis of the twins paradox .. or
the SR analysis, or the GR analysis?
is assuming the stay-at-home twin is still alive .. the travlling twin
may
end up having to talk to the stay-at-home-twins great great
grandchildren
instead.
why that when their clocks are equal?
Really .. you need to keep up here. There clocks would not be equal.
they ticks equal, how not?
Because there is a difference in the amount of elapsed time .. how many
times do I have to tell you that. If one path has less elapsed time than
the other, then obviously a clock ticks fewer times over the journey.
They
would show different times (maybe even different days, or years, or
you just keep saying that, but i am not convinced
without a reason
you need a cause in order to have a reason
Because that is how reality is, and the theories that best model reality
predict that that is what you get. I have explained it to you as a
difference in the space-time path taken by the twins .. I've used a simple
analogy to help you 'visualise' it. The rest is up to you. Go and read up
on relativity and the twins paradox.
centuries .. depending on the velocities and dinstances invovled). Of
course, after reuniting, the clocks would bovsiouls be ticking at the
same
rate (as any observer would agree)
therefore seems kinda imposible for anybody
outside to draw any conclusion about what
happened faraway inside
What inside and outside are you talking about .. you keep making these wild
off-topic comments.
in
frame of reference) is different to that of the stay-at-home twin.
One
can
say that more simply: the stay at home twin is older than the
travelling
twin.
why, entropy goes faster staying home?
Why are you suddenly discussing entropy.
how not doing that?
explain
I don't understand your question "how not doing that?"
how not discussing entropy around that
Again .. I don't know what you are meaning by the words "how not discussing
entropy around that"
what is entropy all about?
That is something outside of the current discussion on the twins paradox and
GPS .. go look it up in wikipedia if you want a decent overview.
It is very simple .. less time has elapsed for the travelling twin
compared
to the stay at home twin,
becus slower clock?
That is what the stay-at-home-twin would see .. yes. Its all relative,
of
course.
how he woul see anything when his twin travel close
to speed of light
DERR .. because at the end of the journey they are reunited
what means of information transportation faster then
light do you refer at?
I do not refer to any such magical motion
you cant prove that his clock is
clocking slower than another standard clock
They are both standard clocks .. they both tick at the correct rate for
their frame of refernece .. they are simply taking different routes
through
spacetime .. like (as I've mentioned several times) different odometer
what is that spacetime yuo always are talking
about
Read up on it .. I am not going to spoon-feed you every bit of information.
3D + time to denote motion, yes this is what you
use to depict something
Sortof .. read up on it.
readings on cars when they take different routes. Time is a bit
odometers shows work from tha energy consuption,
No .. they show distance .. don't you know what an odometer is?
entropy not violated
There is no violation of entropy (not that you can 'violate' entropy, any
more than you could 'violate' energy)
we are talking about missing time here,
No .. we are not
hereby entropy violation
There is no 'hereby' involved
counter-intuitive though, compared to odometres. With cars, the one
taking
the straight line has the lowest odomoert reading .. but with time, the
one
with the straight line (in this case the stay-at-home-twin) has the
longest
time. Time as a fourth dimenions is not exactly like the three spatial
dimensions .. it behaves differently.
i can see only orange and apples,
i dont understand
Then do some study
elapsing time makes no sense without a standard clock
Well .. it does make sense .. you jsut need a standard clock to measure
it
with (ie to be able to put a quantitative figure on it). We can assume
that
both twins carry with them a standard clock. When they reunite, their
standard clocks will show a different time.
then they are not standard both,
Yes .. they are
becus if one
do time differently
They don't "do time" differently.
you cant call that standard
is useless as a standard
Not at all .. both clocks keep perfect time in their frame of reference
(which is all you can expect a clock to do because time is not some absolute
universal things which is the same everywhere)
because the travelling twin has taken a different
path through space-time
different from what path?
The answer is on the line where you interjected your question .. ie
than the stay-at-home twin (from the event where
it says itself, he dident took any path becus
he stayed at home
That is still a path through space-time. That the path (relative to him)
is
all a difference in time, and not is space, does not make it any less a
path.
they separate, to the event where they reunite).
they both had the same event?
Yes .. one generally takes it as being a single event (ie assuming that
they
were together at the one location). Of course, if this were real twin,s
there ther ewould be at least a few centimeters between them .. but that
doesn't really make any difference in this thought experiment
you can not do that according to fluid dynamics
Fluid dynamics has nothing to do with it.
fluid dynamics is the most stable powerful theory
Just because a theory is 'stable' (whatever you mean by that), that does not
make it relevant.
Please .. go an do some reading on Sr, and on space-time, and on the twins
paradox, and (if you like) on entropy and odometers.
When you have done so, come back and discuss the physics from a position of
some knowledge, rather than from ignorance.
