This seems to be contrary to what some of the other posters in this discussion have been saying. I would like some others responding to help clarify what you suggest. Can you expand on your thoughts with an example? Thanks.
At first I was going to reply then started to think my thinking of space time was way off. So what I was trying to convey is that if I were able to observe some time measurement somewhere else from where I am it would appear different. Know what I mean? IF time were stretched and I were able...
I meant relative to each other. If it were possible I mean since we can only compare the two "clocks" after the fact(I'm kind of taking a little liberty with the clock idea). Like in the MIT experiment didn't match in the end. If one were to observe the clock of the other he might say the...
I understand that both clocks tick once second each second. But when they came back together their "clocks" no longer matched. The explanation was that gravity and acceleration are the same and they bend the space time fabric. since the guy in orbit was more "bent" than his twin on the ground...
Space is expanding (or that's a reasonable-ish natural language description). Time is not. It's not clear to me what such a thing could mean.
I appreciate your patience with me. I'm still tumbling this around - but here's where I'm going ... space expanding: Meaning that the bodies as...
Something I saw on a report on tv - Maybe I didn't see what I think I saw. This is what I found online:

I saw a new report on tv that was probably incorrect - now I can't find anything about how they determined the ages of the twins. I'm still reading but I don't have much hope finding anything about that. Thanks for your help...
We know that time passes differently for different relative positions. NASA took twin brothers, and were able to determine their age by some kind of DNA analysis. They sent one to the international space station for a year and when he returned, they examined the brothers again and they were no...
Well I have to disagree that time is not expanding. It was my understanding that the space time fabric is described that way for that very reason. MIT did a experiment where they synchronized two identical atomic clocks, placed one at sea level and one on a mountain. After a month the clocks...
I'm not a Physicist, I just have this question that has bothered me for a long time. This came up again recently when I was listening to some people talking about evolution.
We know the universe is expanding, and we know that time is stretched with it. So if I'm looking back a million years...
