You didn't answer the question .. where the clock is located is NOT how the rate is determined. So .. how about you answer the question: How does the observer on the train determine that the station clock is ticking slower? > > > then when does it happen that the > > > station twin ages more? > > > He doesn't. Nor does he age less. > > That is not what Einstein had to say about his twins. *YOU* and *I* are talking about 'twins' on a train and station, and *mutual* time dilation. That is very different to the 'twin paradox' where one twin moves away from the other and the changes velocity and returns. You are nowhere NEAR ready to talk about that until you understand mutual time dilation and what it actually means. Don't run before you can walk. > Where do you get your argument against Einstein's twin paradox? I'm not arguing against it .. I wan't even talking about it. And neither were you. What I AM trying (in vain) to do is to educate you. Are you willing to learn, or are you going to remain a troll? Now .. back to mutual time dilation. Both clocks tick at the correct rate. Neither slows down. Neither speeds up. A moving observer has NO EFFECT on the ticking rate of a clock. In your scenario of a passenger on a train and a station clock .. How does the passenger determine that the station clock is ticking slower?

But if it is slow as Special Relativity says when does it get to age faster? Mitch Raemsch

Seeing and recording a single time as as passes tell you NOTHING about the ticking rate. How does the passenger determine that the station clock is ticking slower? Tell me the process he uses. NOTE: He is allowed to have other friends on the station or the train help him. |
