Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Is the twin paradox real?
« on: 17/04/2017 14:21:54 »as a pure byside Yusuf (presuming this your forename, correct me if I'm wrong:) synchronizing 'clocks' is a possibility, but it won't tell us a 'universal time'. Just that those two clocks share a same 'frame of reference' at some original point of place. To define clocks at for example different elevation as 'synchronized' is a no no the way I think about it. Even though one could set them to a same time, they would start to deviate after a while. And so it is with relative speeds too. No way to find a absolute time for anything, just correlations in time and space.You can call me Dani. Just Dani Okay?
I meant six clocks in the same frame of reference, i.e. clock on earth, clock at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 light seconds away from earth. They are stationary relative to each other, so after synchronized, they should tick at the same rate.
- When the rocket twin start moving, his clock should show the same value as the earth clock, which is 0 second.
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 1 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 2 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 3 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 4 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 5 light second location?
The rocket then turn around. Is there something interesting happens to his clock?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 4 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 3 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 2 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is passing the clock at 1 light second location?
- What would his clock show when he is coming back to earth?
