                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">Hi
                    All,</div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:

                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">The
                    best way to sort out a problem is to understand the
                    physics behind a situation and then use mathematics
                    to calculate the magnitude of the physical effect
                    attributed to it. Lets look at the so called "twin
                    paradox".</div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;"> </div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">Two
                    observers O1 and O2 are next to and at rest with
                    each other. Both have accurate atomic or whatever
                    clocks. O2 is accelerated to speed v, travels for
                    time t at v, is decelerated to rest wrt to O1,
                    accelerated to v towards O1, again travels for a
                    time and finally is decelerated to rest next to O1.
                    They compare clocks. O2’s clock has slowed down wrt
                    O1. Yet O2 has observed O1 traveling at v. So why
                    doesn’t O1’s clock slow down wrt to O2?</div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;"> </div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">The
                    answer is the acceleration. To accelerate O2, a
                    force is applied to it. The combination of force and
                    distance adds energy to O2 that is not added to O1.
                    That energy is added to O2 in terms of kinetic
                    energy or momentum change. No matter how small is
                    the energy that is added, it is split between mass
                    and velocity and causes a time dilation. They are
                    the special relativity theory (SRT) corrections.
                    That is something that O2 experiences and O1 does
                    not experience.</div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;"> </div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">The
                    fundamental difference that O2’s acceleration makes
                    is that its <span style="font-size: 13.0px;">mass</span><span
                      style="font-size: 13.0px;"> increases as well as
                      its velocity. Its time wrt O1 </span><span
                      style="font-size: 13.0px;"> decreases</span><span
                      style="font-size: 13.0px;">. So while O2 may see
                      O1 accelerating away, O1 is not the one
                      experiencing the acceleration. Therefore O1 is not
                      the observer whose mass is increasing and whose
                      time is dilating. That is the physical reason why
                      there is no "twin paradox". </span></div>
                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:

                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">Time
                    dilation due to acceleration and deceleration
                    (calculable from gravity equivalence) appears to be
                    cumulative. Acceleration effects may make a
                    difference if O2 is rapidly accelerated to v and
                    then immediately rapidly decelerated to rest wrt O1,
                    followed by a rapid acceleration to v and an
                    immediate deceleration to rest next to O1. O2 will
                    show SRT time dilation effect equal to the
                    integrated effect of its relativistic velocity wrt
                    O1. Those interested could calculate the
                    acceleration effect from gravity equivalence and see
                    how they compare.</div>

                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">Apart
                    from that the time delay O2 experiences is because
                    of the velocity multiplied by time effect. When the
                    time traveled is much longer than the acceleration
                    time, the time delay experienced by O2 will, for all
                    practical purposes, be due to the SRT correction. </div>

                  <div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:
                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">The
                    above has described the physics of the so called
                    “twin paradox”. There is no paradox. O2’s time slows
                    relative to O1 because O2 is the one that has been
                    accelerated. Einstein was correct on both
                    situations, the relativistic time correction and
                    that they are only experienced by the accelerated
                    observer. </div>

                    Helvetica , Arial;font-size: 13.0px;margin: 0.0px;">Of
                    course you are free to disagree with the above.
                    However if you feel compelled to point out that it
                    is wrong, it is best done by forwarding the physics
                    that makes it wrong and then present the mathematics
                    required to show the magnitude of the physical
                    effect. Then show how it agrees with experimental
                    observation. In doing that remember that
                    experimentalist using accurate atomic clocks have
                    many times verified the SRT time corrections. </div>

                    id="bloop_sign_1497485432753332992"> </div>
                  <div>There are two ways by which the SRT corrections
                    can be applied. One is that there is an absolute
                    zero reference somewhere in space and all
                    corrections are applied from it. The other is that
                    the SRT corrections are a property of any particle
                    moving wrt another. I have previously published some
                    calculations that suggest that the rotating or
                    toroidal photon model for the structure of matter is
                    responsible for the SRT corrections of matter. With
                    all sub atomic particles, proton, neutron electron
                    and neutrino having a rotating or toroidal photon
                    structure, the SRT corrections are automatically
                    inbuilt into every particle. As such I am happy that
                    Einstein’s SRT corrections will always apply. </div>
                  <div> </div>
                  <div>Remember that all linear motions are relative to
                    the observer. However accelerations and <span
                      style="font-size: 13.0px;">circular motions</span><span
                      style="font-size: 13.0px;"> are absolute. O1 and
                      O2 may start out at 0.5 c wrt O3. O2 may be
                      decelerated to rest wrt O3, remain at rest wrt O3
                      and then accelerated back to 0.5c to return to
                      rest next to O1. O1 will still see O2’s clock as
                      having lost time. O3 will see an entirely
                      different situation. But remember O3 can only see
                      what is happening to O1 and O2 by using photons.
                      O3’s time dilation observations of O1 and O2 must
                      include the SRT corrections as well as Doppler
                      effect and distance changes. Complex but
                      calculable to those interested.</span></div>
                  <div> </div>
                  <div>Chip, regarding your analogy of A and B. At one
                    stage in their life they were at the same place at
                    the same time, even if it was only at birth. To find
                    out which will be the younger you need to establish
                    their background. If A remained at rest and B was
                    accelerated away from A, B will be the younger when
                    they both meet up again. If they both travelled away
                    with equal accelerations, velocities and time they
                    will both appear the same age. Both would be younger
                    than a person born at the same place at the same
                    time and remained at that place when they all met up
                    again. </div>
                  <div> </div>
                  <div>I am quite happy to accept that all linear motion
                    is relative. It agrees with SRT and experiment. I am
                    also satisfied that the rotating or toroidal photon
                    model for an electron (and other particles) gives a
                    physical description that matches both SRT and
                    observation. </div>

                                    which can occur for a curved space
                                    -time or round the edge of the
                                    universe, for example. You really
                                    need to expand your thinking to
                                    General relativity (which is, of
                                    course, itself not the most general
                                    of all the possible proper
                                    descriptions of space and time, as
                                    it has only a simple scalar
                                    curvature) to get a proper grip on
                                    this.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Someone mentioned a muon storage
                                    ring. the stored Muons decay
                                    normally according to themselves,
                                    but see a much smaller ring. They
                                    also feel a permanent transverse
                                    acceleration. The is also
                                    (synchrotron)radiation, but this is
                                    from the system ring+muons, rather
                                    than from the muons themselves.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Most of the rest of the discussion
                                    on this has been at a level usually
                                    treated at undergraduate level.
                                    Grahame is right: you will not find
                                    a mathematical contradiction in
                                    special relativity. All this stuff
                                    has been done before.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Hope this helps,<br>

                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hi
                                        Grahame</span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
                                        reason for the huge circle in my
                                        thought experiment, is so that
                                        the velocity can be very close
                                        to c, causing relativistic time
                                        dilation, and that velocity
                                        dependent time dilation would
                                        dominate the experiment, while
                                        acceleration induced time
                                        variation would be far less
                                        significant.</span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span>And I
                                        agree with you that space
                                        possesses a reference rest frame
                                        where time is not retarded in
                                        any of these or similar
                                        circumstances.</span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span>But the
                                        important thing, I believe, is
                                        that all motion cannot be
                                        relative, and there cannot be
                                        full reciprocity regarding the
                                        effects of motion.  For if all
                                        motion is relative, then there
                                        is just no solution which
                                        satisfies the equations and does
                                        not present a paradox. If all
                                        motion is relative, then twin A
                                        will be younger than twin B, and
                                        twin B will be younger than twin
                                        A. But of course these are
                                        mutually exclusive answers, so
                                        all motion is not relative.</span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span>So as it
                                        stands, if I am reading the
                                        comments correctly, you, me,
                                        Chandra, and Albrecht, agree
                                        that there is a more Lorentzian
                                        form of relativity, (which I
                                        feel is caused by matter being
                                        made of confined light-speed
                                        energy) which is the proper

                                          existed before observers, and
                                          continues to exist as each of
                                          us dies. The universe does
                                          what it does whether we

                                          When we cause an interaction

                                          has an effect, but that does
                                          not mean that the universe is
                                          observer-centric. It just
                                          means that the universe does
                                          what it does.  When
                                          interactions occur a set of
