Special Relativity is just STRANGE! If I'm unaccelerated (for some period of time), I'm stationary in some inertial frame during that time. And I...
He knows that that would be a phony calculation for him to make, because her clocks aren't synchronized (according to him). As long as he isn't...
The only way he can "put himself in her position" is to change his velocity and become stationary wrt her. And he doesn't do that, after his...
All of the arguments I've made above could be made in support of the home twin's inertial frame. She will come to the same conclusions he came to,...
He and his fellow inertial people (I'll refer to them later as his "helper friends") knew that any light pulses in their inertial frame moves at...
I never said his whole journey was one inertial frame, I said his whole journey was HIS frame. And that frame consisted of an outbound inertial leg,...
I view it as ONE frame ... HIS frame during his entire trip. His frame isn't her frame, and vice-versa. Once you specify the scenario, he will...
Neddy said: "But there is no rule that says he must use those inertial frames in the first place. He could choose to use the inertial frame in which...
I (Mike Fontenot) said: My point was that, at each instant of her (the home twin's) life, her brain is in some specific state. None of those states...
My point was that, at each instant of her (the home twin's) life, her brain is in some specific state. None of those states can be changed by what...
She would have no way to sense it if her age DOES change that way.
Why would he WANT to use her frame? His measurements say that her clocks aren't synchronized. You seem to have an answer in search of a question.
No, he CANNOT do that. On his entire outbound inertial leg, he MUST use the Time Dilation Equation (TDE), which tells him that she is ageing gamma...
You ARE obligated to conclude that if the alien suddenly changes his velocity in the direction toward us, he MUST conclude that we here on Earth...
You may not think much of my credentials, but here's a list of the physicists who signed on to Brian Greene's Nova TV show about the alien riding...
I would word that differently. I would say "at each instant in his life, he can determine the date and time here at that instant in his life". To do...
I'll respond to your above post shortly (I didn't realize until just now that you had posted something new), but for the moment, I want to discuss...
Can you repeat your question, referred to above in the sentence that I've highlighted in red?
I still stand by this statement I made previously: "Even though we can't know anything about an alien on that planet (or even if there IS such a...
What's your answer?
Separate names with a comma.
