Who is older? The one who rides at the spaceship or the one who is left on earth?
What do you think? What has your research into the "paradox" turned up so far?Zephaniah said:Who is older? The one who rides at the spaceship or the one who is left on earth?
It may vary. The one who rides at the spaceship may be older or younger than the person left on earth.phinds said:What do you think? What has your research into the "paradox" turned up so far?
No, that's not correct. You need to do some reading on the basics of Special Relativity. Just asking questions on a forum really isn't going to teach you much.Zephaniah said:It may vary. The one who rides at the spaceship may be older or younger than the person left on earth.
I've read a lot already. I've seen some video from NASA about the twin astronaut. And I think their study about this one is not yet done.phinds said:No, that's not correct.

Which twin did the NASA video identify as being older at the reunion?Zephaniah said:I've seen some video from NASA about the twin astronaut
The person on earth. But based on what I have read their research is not yet finish.Dale said:Which twin did the NASA video identify as being older at the reunion?
There you go.Zephaniah said:The person on earth.
This is not an active area of research for NASA. However, other researchers have done this experiment. Not with humans but with radioactive particles.Zephaniah said:But based on what I have read their research is not yet finish
Watching internet videos is a remarkably ineffective way of learning this stuff. Some videos are OK, most are awful, there's no way of knowing which is which if you don't already understand the subject.Zephaniah said:I've read a lot already.

The purpose of comparing the ages of a spaceship rider and an earthbound individual is to gain a better understanding of how space travel and living in space can impact a person's aging process. It can also help to identify any potential health risks or differences between the two groups.
Scientists determine the age of a spaceship rider by using various methods such as measuring changes in telomeres (the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes), monitoring physiological changes, and analyzing data from medical tests and observations during the spaceflight.
Some potential differences in aging between a spaceship rider and an earthbound individual may include changes in bone density and muscle mass due to the effects of microgravity, exposure to higher levels of radiation in space, and alterations in the body's circadian rhythm.
The implications of comparing ages between a spaceship rider and an earthbound individual can help to inform future space travel and colonization efforts. It can also provide insights into the potential long-term effects of living in space on human health and aging.
Yes, there are limitations to comparing the ages of a spaceship rider and an earthbound individual. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and pre-existing health conditions can also contribute to differences in aging between the two groups. Additionally, the sample size of spaceship riders may be limited, making it difficult to draw broad conclusions.
