As they pass, the first spacecraft transmits its entire camcorder
recording to the second spacecraft, and the second spacecraft's clock is
set to the value shown by the first spacecraft's clock. The camcorder on

Instead of v, let’s say (B = v / c) for simplicity. The earth is
Point #0, outbound spacecraft is Point #1, and inbound spacecraft is
Point #2.

According to the Lorentz transform, relative speeds a

** B_00^2 = 0, speed of #0 as observed by #0
** B_01^2 = B^2, speed of #1 as observed by #0
** B_02^2 = B^2, speed of #2 as observed by #0

** B_21^2 = 4 B^2 / (1 – B^2), speed of #1 as observed by #2
** B_22^2 = 0, speed of #2 as observed by #2

When Point #0 is observed by all, the Minkowski spacetime (divided by
c^2) is:

** dt_00^2 (1 – B_00^2) = dt_10^2 (1 – B_10^2) = dt_20^2 (1 – B_20^2)

When Point #1 is observed by all, the Minkowski spacetime (divided by
c^2) is:

** dt_01^2 (1 – B_01^2) = dt_11^2 (1 – B_11^2) = dt_21^2 (1 – B_21^2)

When Point #2 is observed by all, the Minkowski spacetime (divided by
c^2) is:

** dt_02^2 (1 – B_02^2) = dt_12^2 (1 – B_12^2) = dt_22^2 (1 – B_22^2)

Where

** dt_00 = Local rate of time flow at Point #0
** dt_01 = Rate of time flow at #1 as observed by #0
** dt_02 = Rate of time flow at #2 as observed by #0

** dt_10 = Rate of time flow at #0 as observed by #1

So, with all the pertinent variables identified, the contradiction of
the twins’ paradox is glaring right at anyone with a thinking brain.

Did PD get it right?

Of course not, what do you expect from an Einstein Dingleberry?

After abandoning the projection crap, is Tom very busy trying to find
an excuse to resolve this through projection again? Koobee Wublee is
not surprised since Tom has already decided SR as a valid hypothesis
despite lack of any professional validations. shrug

get Lanscoz' book and use the quaternions (vector mechanics).

It was I who wrote "Prove it".

You assert that there are a paradox. I take it you mean in the sense
that the theory gives two results for one situation, such that they are
impossible to reconcile.

I challenge you to show that mathematically, rather than just asserting
it. Do not just point at the maths above and claim that it's obvious.

======================================
As has been proven already, if the twin travels a distance x in the frame of
Earth then the distance xi that Earth must travel in the frame of the
traveller is greater then x. The time for the traveller to move a distance x
is t as measured by the Earth clock, hence v = x/t.
The time for the Earth to move a distance xi is tau, and tau is less than t
as all relativists agree, moving clocks run slow, the traveller does not age
as rapidly as the twin on Earth.
The velocity of Earth in the frame of the traveller is therefore upsilon =
xi/tau and I leave it to the competent school-child to compute the value of
upsilon when v = 0.866c, which
if done correctly shows a clear paradox, upsilon c.
Do not just point at v = upsilon and claim it is obvious.

PD, are you turning into a troll now? For the n’th time, the
following is one such presentation of mathematics that show the
contradiction in the twins’ paradox.

- - -

From the Lorentz transformations, you can write down the following
equation per Minkowski spacetime. Points #1, #2, and #3 are
observers. They are observing the same target.

** c^2 dt1^2 – ds1^2 = c^2 dt2^2 – ds2^2 = c^2 dt3^2 – ds3^2

Where

** dt1 = Time flow at Point #1
** dt2 = Time flow at Point #2
** dt3 = Time flow at Point #3

** ds1 = Observed target displacement segment by #1
** ds2 = Observed target displacement segment by #2
** ds3 = Observed target displacement segment by #3

The above spacetime equation can also be written as follows.

** dt1^2 (1 – B1^2) = dt2^2 (1 – B2^2) = dt3^2 (1 – B3^2)

Where

** B^2 = (ds/dt)^2 / c^2

When #1 is observing #2, the following equation can be deduced from
the equation above.

** dt1^2 (1 – B1^2) = dt2^2 . . . (1)

Where

** B2^2 = 0, #2 is observing itself

Similarly, when #2 is observing #1, the following equation can be
deduced.

** dt1^2 = dt2^2 (1 – B2^2) . . . (2)

Where

** B1^2 = 0, #1 is observing itself

According to relativity, the following must be true.

** B1^2 = B2^2

Thus, equations (1) and (2) become the following equations
respectively.

** dt1^2 (1 – B^2) = dt2^2 . . . (3)
** dt2^2 = dt1^2 (1 – B^2) . . . (4)

Where

** B^2 = B1^2 = B2^2

The only time the equations (3) and (4) can co-exist is when B^2 = 0.
Thus, the twins’ paradox is very real under the Lorentz transform.

From the Lorentz transformations, you can write down the following

** c^2 dt1^2 – ds1^2 = c^2 dt2^2 – ds2^2 = c^2 dt3^2 – ds3^2

** dt2 = Time flow at Point #2
** dt3 = Time flow at Point #3

** ds1 = Observed target displacement segment by #1
** ds2 = Observed target displacement segment by #2
** ds3 = Observed target displacement segment by #3

The above spacetime equation can also be written as follows.

** dt1^2 (1 – B1^2) = dt2^2 (1 – B2^2) = dt3^2 (1 – B3^2)

Where

** B^2 = (ds/dt)^2 / c^2

When #1 is observing #2, the following equation can be deduced from
the equation above.

** dt1^2 (1 – B1^2) = dt2^2 . . . (1)

Where

** B2^2 = 0, #2 is observing itself

Similarly, when #2 is observing #1, the following equation can be
deduced.

** dt1^2 = dt2^2 (1 – B2^2) . . . (2)

Where

** B1^2 = 0, #1 is observing itself

According to relativity, the following must be true.

** B1^2 = B2^2

Thus, equations (1) and (2) become the following equations

.... never

In deriving [1] and [2] you prefaced them with caveats about who is
observing whom. So they relate to different measurement situations. You
cannot combine them in any meaningful way.

** B_22^2 = 0, speed of #2 as observed by #2


When Point #0 is observed by all, the Minkowski spacetime (divided by
c^2) is:


** dt_00^2 (1 – B_00^2) = dt_10^2 (1 – B_10^2) = dt_20^2 (1 – B_20^2)


When Point #1 is observed by all, the Minkowski spacetime (divided by
c^2) is:


** dt_01^2 (1 – B_01^2) = dt_11^2 (1 – B_11^2) = dt_21^2 (1 – B_21^2)


When Point #2 is observed by all, the Minkowski spacetime (divided by
c^2) is:


** dt_02^2 (1 – B_02^2) = dt_12^2 (1 – B_12^2) = dt_22^2 (1 – B_22^2)


Where


** dt_00 = Local rate of time flow at Point #0
** dt_01 = Rate of time flow at #1 as observed by #0
** dt_02 = Rate of time flow at #2 as observed by #0


** dt_10 = Rate of time flow at #0 as observed by #1
** dt_11 = Local rate of time flow at Point #1
** dt_12 = Rate of time flow at #2 as observed by #1


** dt_20 = Rate of time flow at #0 as observed by #2
** dt_21 = Rate of time flow at #1 as observed by #2
** dt_22 = Local rate of time flow at Point #2


So, with all the pertinent variables identified, the contradiction of
the twins’ paradox is glaring right at anyone with a thinking brain.

From the Lorentz transformations, you can write down the following
equation per Minkowski spacetime. Points #1, #2, and #3 are
observers. They are observing the same target.


** c^2 dt1^2 – ds1^2 = c^2 dt2^2 – ds2^2 = c^2 dt3^2 – ds3^2


Where


** dt1 = Time flow at Point #1
** dt2 = Time flow at Point #2
** dt3 = Time flow at Point #3


** ds1 = Observed target displacement segment by #1
** ds2 = Observed target displacement segment by #2
** ds3 = Observed target displacement segment by #3


The above spacetime equation can also be written as follows.


** dt1^2 (1 – B1^2) = dt2^2 (1 – B2^2) = dt3^2 (1 – B3^2)


Where


** B^2 = (ds/dt)^2 / c^2


When #1 is observing #2, the following equation can be deduced from
the equation above.


** dt1^2 (1 – B1^2) = dt2^2 . . . (1)


Where


** B2^2 = 0, #2 is observing itself


Similarly, when #2 is observing #1, the following equation can be
deduced.


** dt1^2 = dt2^2 (1 – B2^2) . . . (2)


Where


** B1^2 = 0, #1 is observing itself


According to relativity, the following must be true.


** B1^2 = B2^2


Thus, equations (1) and (2) become the following equations
respectively.


** dt1^2 (1 – B^2) = dt2^2 . . . (3)
** dt2^2 = dt1^2 (1 – B^2) . . . (4)


Where


** B^2 = B1^2 = B2^2


The only time the equations (3) and (4) can co-exist is when B^2 = 0.
Thus, the twins’ paradox is very real under the Lorentz transform.
shrug


... never


What? When (B^2 = 0), equations (3) and (4) become the following.

** dt1^2 = dt2^2

Why do you say never, PD? shrug

In deriving [1] and [2] you prefaced them with caveats about who is
observing whom. So they relate to different measurement situations. You
cannot combine them in any meaningful way.


You are very correct, and they are not combined. Each equation, (1)
or (2), has its own Lorentz transformation via these spacetime
equations. shrug

With all these parameters derived, all we have to do is to compare the
time elapses of the observer’s own clock versus whoever it is
observing. So, what is the problem, PD? shrug

They're in different places. How are you going to do the comparing? It's
not a trivial question.
