Thanks for your reply. It probably would had been better for me to say "get closer and closer to objects that are in an inertial frame" instead of approach . . . . Now is this phenomenon always distance dependant - always changing the rate of time passage in direct proportion to the...

(I actually responded to Fredrik's latest post before I read this one - I'll let my repsonse to Fredik's post stand for any intrepid gallant warriors who care to play my question and answer game.) I like this well stated response, JesseM - on top of that, I find it quite interesting because...

Honestly, I'm trying to pin the explanation down step by step. I haven't been happy with the explanations (Haven't read all of them - I may step-up the level of my own diligence due to a rekindled interest, however.) that I ever gotten anywhere. Here is one more step. If possible let's look...

I want to know what actually happens.

Physics and Metaphysics, some truisms: The Universe is no doubt stranger than we can imagine. Paradoxes are clues to where we should direct our thinking. Our models are the state of our understanding. If they do not meet our expectations then either their premises or our expectations need to be...

I am primarily interested in what is actually true, however, how it would appear to each other is also very interesting. The clocks appear to run slower no matter what the direction? If the clocks always appears to run slower then we have a real paradox, don't we? Thanks, - George -

No, No, back. :-) What I'm saying is that those in the inertial frames would see those in the accelerated frames' clocks change, though, correct? And that would be speed up if approaching, correct? (Or would it be slow down? :-) ) Now that we have established the general...

Actually, in Math and particularly Physics a PhD does increase your income a sizeable amount. . . That's what I have heard. With out it income is fairly low. A Master's degree can allow you to teach at the Community College level, though; which isn't too bad.

Now you are talking. : - )

Thanks for your reply. Young Man. :-) How about some real late starters. You can still be a professional at it. {Now there are two categories: Those that start late and those that don't need the money. :-) }

Thanks for your reply. See my previous post.

I knew I would get that response. Still there are those that need the money that the PhD generates - and so, are often led down a path that they might not otherwise follow because of it even if it. Anyway, any greats - I think Fermat and de Broglie might fit in this category - or just...

Sorry about that last one about equal and opposite accelerations. I was referring to a related but different thread. You can ignore for this thread. As for the others why look at them from "c's" point of view? I just find it curious that if "A" and "B" are in the same reference frame that...

Someone that does a PhD for non-monetary reasons or without a burning desire to prove oneself; but rather, most likely, for the sheer love of the subject matter.
