5. t = 0.5 sec; t' = 1 sec. i.e. t t', this matches your C R
But according to time dilation, if t=0.5 sec then t' should be equal
to 0.25 second. i.e t t' (Moving clock runs slower). Because of this
effect, the moving twin is younger. Every body including Einstein say
so.


The problem you describe is diferent from the original post. Hence,
when you say "this matches your C R ", it doesnt match my CR; we are
describing diferent setups.

As for your setup, well, I will read it in more detail cause I dont
quite follow your description (but I can conclude that it is diferent
from the original poster, and you say so too)

Default Einstein's Twin Idiocy Again


"Pentcho Valev" wrote in message
oups.com...
The rocket of the travelling twin from the famous twin paradox has two
clocks: one at the front end and another at the back end. As the front
end clock (T) passes the single clock (C) of the twin at rest, both
readings are set to zero (T=C=0):

RockeT-..........
.....C..........

Then the back end clock (R) is synchronized with T and, as R passes C,
their readings are compared. Which reading is greater? RC? CR?

After R has passed C, the rocket returns as quickly as possible, R at
the front end this time, so that the time interval between the two
consecutive meetings of R and C can be minimal:

.......-RockeT......
.....C.............

In a normal science, further analysis of this setup would amount to
reductio ad absurdum. As C and T meet for the second time, C must prove
slower than T, in accordance with the standard time dilation analysis,
but at the same time C must run faster than T precisely by a factor of
gamma because Einstein said so in 1905. In relativity absurdity is
called paradox: instead of being rejected, the theory becomes
sensational and brings prestige and money to both initiated and
zombies.

Pentcho Valev


Pentcho:
(1) Given the synchronization of the R and T clocks IN THEIR COMMON FRAME OF
REFERENCE, then, when they meet, the clock at R reads greater than the clock
at C. Or in your notation, RC. If you understand Minkowski diagrams, you
will understand why.
(2) Yes, when the C and T clocks meet a second time, the C clock will read
greater than the T clock. The "standard time dilation analysis" does NOT
say "C must prove slower than T."

What university teaches that you can 'show' anything
if you ionize two columms of air, suck them out so the
train can go fast, then move one of the observers to
an invalid position?

Thank you. Yes, I should have to include the effect of Lorentz
Contraction into consideration. But when I include the Lorentz
Contraction I get a strange result.

If the speed is 0.866 c then the length contraction is 0.5. In the
example below, the speed used is 100 m/s but the factor of 0.5 is being
kept.

1. Assume the original length of the moving rocket is 100 m.
Assume the Lorentz contraction factor is 0.5
Legnth of the rocket is x = 50 m (View from the stationary frame C).
Legnth of the rocket is x' = 100 m (View from the moving frame T).
2. The rocket is travelling at a speed of 100 m/s
Let v be the speed of (moving) clock T wrt (stationary) clock C
Let v' be the speed of (stationary) clock C wrt (moving) clock T
v = v' = 100 m/s
3. In the moving frame T,
Length of rocket x' = 100 m
Vel. of the rocket v' = 100 m/s
Time t' = 1 sec (Takes 1 moving sec. for the rocket to pass clock C)
4. In the stationary frame C,
Length of rocket x = 50 m (Rocket length view from frame C)
Vel. of the rocket v = 100 m/s
Time t = 0.5 sec (Takes 0.5 stationary sec. the rocket to pass clock
C)
5. t = 0.5 sec; t' = 1 sec. i.e. t t', this matches your C R
But according to time dilation, if t=0.5 sec then t' should be equal
to 0.25 second. i.e t t' (Moving clock runs slower). Because of this
effect, the moving twin is younger. Every body including Einstein say


No...*Everybody* agress that both twins will see
each and every frame of a commonly viewed motion
picture, and will see each and every orbit of Jupiters
moons, regardless of their travels.

That doesn't make much of a case for any difference
in age.


But the number of heart beats will NOT be the same, even assuming that
they each spend the same amount of 'proper time' exercising.

Well, he's wrong, blowhard, the answer must be in the positive, as
I've shown directly.
Snipping the truth won't make it any less true, blowhard.
You want to argue in favour of relativity, blowhard, do it with math,
snipping doesn't aid your case.


The light leaves the caboose and arrives at the engine, then reflects
back to the caboose.
If you want to **** a relativist off let the light leave the engine,
reflect at the caboose and return to the engine.

Ref: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/

We establish by definition that the "time" required by light to travel
from C to D equals the "time" it requires to travel from D to C'.

Distance between mirrors is x'

Einstein's equation:

½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))

What it means in the diagram:

½[tau(A,t)+tau(A',t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(B,t+x'/(c-v))
½[tau(C,t)+tau(C',t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(D,t+x'/(c PLUS v))

So the time at B, the engine, equals the time at D, the caboose,
but it doesn't. Ergo Einstein was a phuckwit.
