Twin Paradox & Neutron Speeds: Questions Explored

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the Twin Paradox and the perception of time and speed in relativistic contexts. It addresses the confusion regarding how one twin, traveling at high speed, perceives the other's clock as running slower while also aging faster. The explanation clarifies that from the perspective of the traveling twin, time dilation occurs due to their high velocity, leading to the paradox. Additionally, it explores the perspective of a neutron moving at high speed relative to a photon, confirming that light always travels at the speed of light (300,000 km/s) from any inertial frame, including that of the neutron. The conversation emphasizes the complexities of relativity and the importance of reference frames in understanding these phenomena.

I have make many threads about this topic because I am really interested. I reading that from an pdf,but I have some "idiot" questions too.


1)A guy told me that If you run in other speed from an other you see his clock slower.
I have hear about paradox of twins,that this with biggest speed grows slower.
Then how is possible to see the clock of his "old"(that grows faster) to go slower from him??


2)If we are a neutron,and we run between a photon with 99% of its speed,how we would see that?
(it will be the same?We would see that run with 300.000 km/s or with 1% of its speed?)

This should explain it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox
The basic explanation is found in the very first paragraph, with more detail in the rest of the article.

From the frame of the neutron the light will move at c. (300,000 Km/s)
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
