No i don't think youre wrong i just can find where i am wrong :D Thinking about it I am starting to think i underestimated the effect described by PeterDavis, that is what happenes when they are moving to meet each other to compare their ages. So I am going to outline my assesment from point...

My knowledge is very limited. Thats why I am here i guess :D I had a physics course in one term. Just to be clear only one thing i wanted to compare whas their age when they meet. Not what they see during experiment is happening to others. Anyway so what's the right answer? whos older? B or C ? :D

Yes nice, sounds reasonable, but in order to stop it is B who must turn his engines ( or brakes if they could work in vacuum) on and can feel the acceleration . So then again if they were to meet which would be older? I thought it has to be the one twin who stays home( doesn't experience...

So it is possible for B to tell the difference between acceleration with respect to C and deceleration with respect to universe?

Well sorry but that's how i get it, in fact that's exactly how i get it. I can't see how age difference comparable purely between B and C depends on their speed to some A.. If it was true then nothing would be relative. Ergo the principle of relativity wouldn't work because physical laws...

In mentioned time B just sits there keeping the same distance from A. No i haven't but I am starting to feel i will have to.

Lets say we have triplets on Earth A B and C. B and C goes from Earth together in the same direction at some relativistic speed let's say lorentz factor one milion. Now after one year passes from the point of A, brother B decides to stop. Now after one more year from the point of A passes...

I found my answer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=202fU9qIVK4&feature=relmfu I didnt know how the length contraction fits in. The first picture fits because there is no length contraction in direction of the beam.

The video doesn't cover this. Its just a scenario i thought about. My issue is that according to general relativity speed of light should be same to all observers. Yet if my example is to be correct there would be evidence on board rocket A that light traveled much slowly on its way to rocket B...

Ok, but how many of the flags is green ? I mean from the point of rocket A the rocket B is stationary. Yet the number of flags indicate that light travels much longer on its way to rocket B than on its way back. Which is contradiction to general relativity is it not?

Hello So i saw this video on youtube explaining some basics of general relativity and they used example with 2 rockets moving paralelly with laser pointed from rocket A to mirror on rocket B. Heres my picture of it :D Where we are stationary observer watching those two rockets A and B...
