I once watched a lecture video about the paradox experiment of twins given by Professor Zhao Zheng of Beijing Normal University in China.
Students ask:
Brother B travels by spaceship, since the relative speed of brother A is v, the time of B will expand, and when B returns to the earth, B will be younger.
But we all know that speed is relative. We can also think that the speed of A relative to B is v, so the time of A will also expand, and A should be younger.
So which of the twins will be younger?
Professor Zhao Zheng replied:
Since B accelerates and decelerates during space travel, B will be younger. It seems that acceleration is the key factor in determining time dilation.
So let's imagine a scenario like this:
A and B are twins on Earth who left Earth on the same day.
The acceleration and deceleration processes of A and B are exactly the same, but A returns to the earth after reaching a speed of 0.1c, B maintains a constant speed after reaching 0.1c, and then flies forward for 1 light-year, and then returns to the earth.
The acceleration and deceleration processes of A and B are exactly the same, the only difference is that B maintains a constant speed and flies 2 light-years longer than A.
I really want to ask Professor Zhao Zheng, when A and B meet again on earth, who will be younger?
I also want to ask Professor Mao Shude, who will be younger?
I really want to ask those Einstein believers, don't you feel ashamed when you deceive the world? ! ! ! It's a crook's crime! ! !
