Hey don't give up, most people even the experts only understand this particular "experiment" on a very superficial level. The explanation provided by your expert is misleading and in fact downright incorrect. Comparing the times between the two individuals is not possible, there is no shares...
Without going into all the detail, the explanation of what's happening during this "experiment" is badly worded. In fact it's just wrong. Comparing "times" is misleading because there is no shared moment, so shared now! Only when they are together do they share the same time and the same...
Hi. This question appears to be more about what the biological sensation of weightlessness is. For this particular question or better still imagine someone falling freely to the earth, in the absence of any resistance all of your body including internal organs are all falling at the same rate...
I recently attended a presentation on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics which focused on the most recent experimental tests on Bells Inequality. As part of the introduction the speaker derived Bells Inequality. The speaker made it sound very straightforward and it was, the proof was a piece...
Thanks for that. When you speak of t and 2t whose time are we speaking of (yours or theirs) for if you mean time as you measure it then the spaceship that decelerates in time t will will show the largest time dilation for the shortest time ( a slow clock observed for a shotrt time) produces a...
Hello! I was just reading your question and whoever gave it to hasn't given you all the information required so there is no answer. The two ships accekerate away from you then coast and then decelerate at different rates. By now they are a long way away from you. You then say that the clocks are...
Hello and thanks for that. I know that it's not a a proof but I think it provides a framework to achieve one. In any event it's nothing of any value. I agree with your suggestions however. I guess I was trying to find some proveable number theory problems and found this one. I suspect without...
The following is a repost from 2008 from someone else as there was no solution offered or provided I thought id post one here
Homework Statement neither my professor nor my TA could figure this out. so they are offering fat extra credit for the following problem
Let n be a positive integer...
