Well, finally I have managed to bring my brains together. The major question for me for the moment: how Lorentz transformation formulas can help here? AFAIK Lorentz transformation formulas can be used only for calculating Position and Time in another INERTIAL frame. But my clocks frames are...

During the flight it suffers only centripetal acceleration which is not so high.

The Keyword is "linear". I'm not so sure we can use this formula in this experiment. Because the movement is not linear. The major sense of this experiment is that clocks is always under acceleration. Your formula doesn't "feel" that acceleration. Dalespam recommends to use always Lorentz...

Wait a minute. For aircraft way for several thousands of kilometers the discrepancy was NOT so tiny tiny tiny. And here I'm putting my clocks on the end of a rope and the other end of a rope I bind to ventilator making clocks to rotate at high speed. So the acceleration is high here and it...

So I really can't understand now why these guys who performed time dilation approvement experiment use Aircrafts? It's enough to use carousel in a garden or just to take a rope and spin the clocks by hands! Can I reproduce that experiment by myself? I mean can I take two electronic watches...

Yes I can try. But first I would like to clarify some points. Here we have no changes in velocity, only movement direction changes. Does it cause the time dilation effect? To make conditions simple: we are in open space and not on an orbit of any planet.

Ok, So if I will sit every day on a carousel I will be yonger than others? Acceleration will be always with me, so my time should go slower, yes?

Ok, but what about values? I have put my values (50000 and -100000) as you see on the picture, but I getting values different from yours ones. Is that ok? And there are some more points there about this. You say acceleration is absolute. Ok. If I have acceleration caused by gravity then...

No! ) I mean my post from Jul10-09, 03:12 PM. I can't understand how amount of time elapsed can depend on "k"?!

Ok, got it. But what can you say about the second point?

Dalespam, Here I have used the formula you gave me to see the dependency of elapsed time from "k". Once again, may be I'm wrong in my calculations but I getting very strange results. And I can't get the results you have got in your calculations. Anyway your formula gets me into...

Actually the above is not so explicit for me. May be I'm not so strong in Math but I believe that explanation can be more detailed. We have v(t) = k sin(t) and x(t) = - k cos(t) + k (actually these two are more realistic I believe) So now to caclulate the proper time I'm still have...

Now my calculations are made with regards to Velocity-addition formula. But once again results are different! May be I'm wrong with calculations? Or just forgot one another thing? Appreciate if you could look at my calculations below: I suggest that may be my clocks will not...

At 1.01с where will be no any tricks ;-)

The red graphs means calculation for IRF associated with center of mass. The blue graphs means calculation for IRF moving with speed "s". Upper calculations - is for heavy clock. Bottom calculations - is for lite clock. P.S. Sorry, I'll put a legend next time
