\tau = \integral_T1^T2 sqrt(1-v(t)^2/c^2) dt


You mean that "T1^T2" is T1 exponential to T2?
Or else, is it "T1 times T2"?


Oy vey. It's "standard" ascii notation for the
definite integral from T1 to T2.


If that simple, then the proper time of the moving object
will be (according to Tom Roberts):
\tau = \integral_T1^T2 sqrt(1-v(t)^2/c^2) dt

Or else (solving the integral):
\tau = 1/2*(v(t)^2/c^2)*sqrt(1-v(t)^2/c^2) + 1/2*arcsin(v(t)^2/c^2)

Now, v(t) = r w(t) = constant

The original problem claimed that v = 0.999c = c
so that (for v = c):
\tau = 45 degrees * (T2-T1) = 0.785 (T2-T1) =
= 0.785 t_rest frame.

Where did I screw up?
I've started with something constant and I guess I've
end up with a constant time dilatation, independent
of the radius.
