    Undergrad Derivation of Rindler Metric and How It Resolves the Twin Paradox

    Both sides see the others aging slower during the constant speed parts I agree. I did not mean to say otherwise. I've read part way into the faq. The section on pseudo gravitational fields with the quote "The one thing we need here is that time runs slower as you descend into the potential well...

    Undergrad Derivation of Rindler Metric and How It Resolves the Twin Paradox

    So is this like being on an accelerating bus. You feel a force in your reference frame but at least in typical classical physics the force would be thought of as fictitous, due to being in a non-inertial reference frame. The coriolis force being similarly a fictitious force for another example...

    Undergrad Derivation of Rindler Metric and How It Resolves the Twin Paradox

    But how does one explain time speeding up on the Earth from the perspective of the guy on the spaceship as he is accelerating back to return to earth. In the part where the spaceship is going at constant velocity outwards the guy in the spaceship sees the guy on Earth aging slower than him. In...

    Undergrad Derivation of Rindler Metric and How It Resolves the Twin Paradox

    From what I have read the twin paradox can be resolved with the Rindler metric and without the need to bring in general relativity. Special relativity will suffice. But how does the Rindler metric get derived in the context of a constant accelerating reference frame. I haven't seen anything in...
