This is wrong, and we can try one more time to explain why Using the frame in which A is at rest, events E1 and E2 are simultaneous -...

Not directly because the operation is symmetric: it provides the same result for 0^1 and 1^0 (where the caret is the xor operator)...

A bit of a misnomer to measure position at one point. Detectors measure a position interval therefore they don't collapse the state to a...

Because of that phrase "at the same moment". They are different "same moments", because if A and B are moving relative to one another...

I guess it depends on what information you hope to obtain- a point detector does not cover all positions, but then your location...

That's similar to saying that two bullets moving relative to one another will have different kinetic energies in different frames...

Unfortunately, Brian Greene is notorious for only giving you part of the story. His pop science books and TV shows are even worse. I...

She will only arrive at this incorrect result if she forgets to allow for the relativity of simultaneity, as you are in your...

This may be the root of your misunderstanding -until you get over it relativity will continue to confuse you. It is equally valid to...

First of all, one needs a meaningful, physical definition of the term “momentum of a confined quantum mechanical particle.”

And that being so, I have removed that part of the thread title.

And a comment about the thread title: this is not a twin paradox variation, the age difference seen in the twin paradox has nothing to...

You have overlooked the relativity of simultaneity here. What did the ship clock read at the same time using the frame in which the...

This thread looks like a job for an appropriate Spirograph setup.

A literal edge case.
