SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the Twin Paradox, a thought experiment in special relativity that illustrates the effects of time dilation at relativistic speeds. The scenario involves two physicists, one traveling at 95% the speed of light and the other remaining on Earth. While the traveling physicist experiences only 3 years, the Earth-bound physicist observes 30 years passing. This paradox raises questions about the nature of time and motion, specifically how one can perceive a longer duration while experiencing a shorter one without acceleration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of special relativity principles
  • Familiarity with time dilation concepts
  • Basic knowledge of relativistic speeds (e.g., 95% the speed of light)
  • Awareness of the Twin Paradox scenario
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the mathematical framework of time dilation in special relativity
  • Explore the implications of the Twin Paradox in real-world physics
  • Learn about the Lorentz transformation equations
  • Investigate experimental evidence supporting time dilation, such as muon decay rates
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators explaining relativity, and anyone interested in the complexities of time and motion in the context of special relativity.

this is my 1st post, and its a question that i had developed, most likely out of ignorance, so please save me from my sad paradox. lol
Thank you, in advanced.

I understand if i where floating in the bulk of space with no visual queues to give me aid in telling me if I were moving, i could simply say I am stationary but just as easily be in constant motion.

And if say, you are also out in space facing me and we are about to pass each other, I could say I am stationary and you are passing me, and well you have equal grounds of saying. I am passing you.

Now say we pass at 95% the speed of light. I appear, to you, to be going 667 million miles per hour, but to me, you appear to be moving toward me at that speed.

And here is paradox number 1, the one i understand.
We both see each other in slow motion. All my gestures appear slower then yours, but i see all your gestures are slower then mine.
I see your slower then me, and You see I am slower then you.now this is my sad paradox.
say you and your brother are physicists, and you both decide to do an experiment. You are going to get into a ship and without acceleration travel at 95% the speed of light, away from earth, and you will bring a magical telescope and as you stay at your constant speed you will observe your brother.

Your brother with his magical Telescope will watch you, observing you.

now, you launch instantly and can now say Earth is leave you at 95% the speed of light,
and your brother can now say u are leaving Earth at 95% the speed of light.. we find are selves back at relative Constant Motion

you travel 3 years, YOUR 3 years not your brothers. in your 3 years its been 30 for your bro.
your brother had watched you for 30 years.
you watch your brother for 3.

this is the mind meld.

how can your brother move slower then you, and still have watched longer?
this leaves you watching your brother's slow motion 30 years, in only 3 years.
were logically if you watched 30 years in slow motion, it will most definitely take longer then 30 year to watch it in its entirety

the only way for you to watch 30 years within 3 years is if the 30 years where in fast motion.

but according to constant motion(not accelerating), there is no fast motion at play.

would u miss 27 years in your instant acceleration?
