See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Most of SR demonstrates a symmetry. The contractions and dilations one oberver supposedly sees for another system, are exactly what the other system sees for him. The Twins Paradox says, however, that this symmetry fails. If the travelling twin left at t=0 and returned at t=100, then t'=g(t-xv/cc) and t' > t, which would say that the travelling twin's clock is ticking away faster. The symmetry would say the traveller sees the stationary clock ticking away faster than his. However, the traveller has to change direction, and thus by magic, as it were, the supposed lack of simultaneity forces the travelling twins clock to somehow be the ruling clock. As we have seen on a number of grounds, the idea that simultaneity does not hold across inertial frames is absurd, and the correct use of generalized coordinates, which preserves ratio scale quality shows it to be true that simultaneity holds reign. There is no lack of simultaneity, and there is no differential aging of such twins. User Contributions:Top Document: Einstein (1905) Absurdities Previous Document: 10.
