    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    I think Time Dilation means this: When a observer moves relative to us, Time slows down for him relative to us.(not depend on which direction observer moves) The question that needs to be addressed here is whether we see Time Dilation with our eyes. The Answer is No. Because We see...

    Understanding the Negative Sign in Lenz's Law: A Geometric Interpretation

    The statement of Lenz' law is like this: Whenever the magnetic flux associated with a closed coil changes, an EMF is induced in the loop, And the direction of the induced EMF is in such a manner that it tends to produce a current that opposes the change in magnetic flux produced it. -ve sigh...

    Time dilation in accelerating reference frames

    Is the concept of 'straight line' defined in Minkowski space-time like this: It is the largest interval between two points(events) of space-time where elapsed proper time is the largest? EDIT: it sounded to me like this because any other way by which an observer is able to register at these...

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    Yes. It includes Time Dilation .But we don't see Time Dilation. I can explain Doppler factor PAllen was talking about .I involve only calculation for a single outgoing scenario. Consider HT send a signal when it's 1 year for him. Then the signal will reach TT after 4 years which is 5 years...

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    Yes. When you were talking like this you were talking about the Doppler Factor. I didn't know that.

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    Yes. For this example Doppler factor is 1/3 for the case when TT moves away from HT and 3 when TT moves towards HT. By using this I can explain Twin Paradox. When TT reaches planet, His clock will read 6 years and TT will see 2 years as reading in the clock of the HT(with the help of a large...

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    This raises me a question. Does TT actually 'see' proper time of HT go backwards as i addressed?

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    I can see. I used a different method "point of view" but still answer came same.

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    Yeah. I think i found the solution. The solution is "go for it". Let us consider that TT's measure of HT's proper time went backwards. When TT reaches mid-way and turns, Clock at HT reads 11.8 while clock at the planet reads 18.2. When TT reaches the planet, TT now predicts Clock at HT should...

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    By calculation, I see HT should read 30 years while TT should read 18 years.

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    I think If i use HT's rest frame, TT's travel along the space-time is a zig-zag path and by using the relationship between HT's proper time and TT's proper time, i can see what their clocks will read at the end of the scenario.

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    Can you show me what your telling by answering to the question as to what HT and TT will see their clocks reading when both meet again according to PeterDonis's scenario? I think that is the best way to understand what you are telling.

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    No.. This is something that TT cannot accept. To address this issue, A complicated situation arises in which i have to consider turn back at the half-way is not instantaneous. Even that is not viable. Then another question will come as to why this one is not instantaneous while turn around at...

    Does the Twin Paradox Break Symmetry in the Zig-Zag Scenario?

    Do you mean the scenario in which TT leaves HT, in the middle of the journey,TT rotates,reach planet and TT reach HT again?
