Good job, paul. You have handed over the material that proves you
have no understanding of what the Lorentz transform is all about.
shrug


When B is not accelerating, the Lorentz transform says there is no way
to tell absolutely who is traveling and who is not. Time dilation
should be building up when A observes B as well as when B observes A.
The JAVA applet does not reflect what the Lorentz transform says. You
may want to decrease the acceleration distance to just 1 and increase
acceleration to 2 for a better dramatic effect. shrug


paul’s gross blunder: The mutual time dilation is building up when B
is not accelerating. The applet violates the principle of
relativity. shrug


I won't bother to quibble about your nonsense.
[rest of whining nonsense snipped]


OK, paul. Koobee Wublee will make you a deal. Why don’t you modify
your JAVA applet and allow both twins to travel with the same
acceleration profile. Please also allow time when both are not
accelerating but with mutual time dilation building up due to relative
speed. With the same acceleration profiles, the effect of that should
cancel out, no? please
