What are the earliest online publications discussing the Twin Paradox?

I was wondering if anyone knew of any works that can be accessed online that were published before they were put online that deal with the Twin paradox? Thanks.





- to a mentor, sorry I forgot that this belongs in the SR thread.

As I posted before, ...
In my opinion, one of the best articles on the Twin Paradox is:

"The Clock Paradox in Relativity Theory"
Alfred Schild
American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 66, No. 1 (Jan., 1959) , pp. 1-18

If your institution has access to JSTOR, it is available here
http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0002-9890%28195901%2966%3A1%3C1%3ATCPIRT%3E2.0.CO%3B2-L

Some of the arguments that appear in
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/TwinParadox/twin_paradox.html
can be found in the above paper.

The original post was asking for resources. This will not devolve into just another Twin Paradox debate.

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread 'Relativator (Circular Slide-Rule): Simulated with Desmos - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...

Thread 'A sufficient condition for integrability of equation ##\nabla g=0##'

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
