I want to be able to tip a can by building a device that fits inside the can and is able to tip it even when the can is completely closed. I have a motor and an arduino to control it. Would I be able to tip it by spinning a weight around the vertical axis of the can? Or would action and...
So are you saying that the planets would claim the rocket's clock is slower, while the rocket would claim the planets' clocks are slower? How can both be true?
So then if the clock on the rocket would still run slower, and no acceleration is involved in this scenario (all data relayed while the rocket is moving), why couldn't we also say the planets are the ones moving and thus they are the ones who measure a slower time (since motion is relative)?
Would you mind explaining this a little more? Why couldn't the clocks on the planets each only measure the time the rocket passes themselves, and then relay the times to each other to measure the time elapsed?
Okay, but what if instead there were two planets, stationary with respect to each other, and their clocks were synced. What if the rocket were to fly past the first planet, starting both clocks, and then flew past the second planet which stopped the clocks, while the rocket also relayed its...
So I was recently reading Stephen Hawkings' "The Universe in a Nutshell" and came across the famous Twins Paradox thought experiment. My question is, since motion is relative, couldn't we extrapolate that either the observer on Earth is stationary and the rocket is traveling near light-speed...
