It does if it's an oversimplification of what's presented in the
paper!

I don't see why you feel that the whole development of special
relativity is entirely due to, and can be found in the writings of,
Einstein.

Special relativity has been worked on and developed by hundreds of
physicists, many of which have found aspects of special relativity
that Einstein never dreamed of.

The same thing goes for "Newtonian mechanics", which involves a great
deal more than what Newton wrote, or "quantum mechanics" which
involves a great deal more than what Heisenberg, Pauli, or Bohr wrote.

Although no information is deemed reliable in some degree, you are the
one who is messed up here. It is a common knowledge that Einstein the
nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar had proposed GR to resolve the
twins’ paradox. You can also do a google search on that. <shrug>

There are many different ways to do so. Langevin’s resolution is
drastically different from that of Einstein the nitwit, the
plagiarist, and the liar. The self-styled physicists cannot even
unanimously agree on one resolution. Each one believes in his own
resolution, but all these contradict with each other. What a fvcked
up bunch. That is a trait of Einstein Dingleberrism. <shrug>

So, you don’t know what math is involved with the problem. You don’t
know what the issues are with relative simultaneity. You don’t know
anything about the Lorentz transform. You are easily bedazzled by the
mathemagic shows where all these mathemagic shows contradict each
other. That is a fine trait of Einstein Dingleberrism. <shrug>

Why do you think they all contradict each other?
There is a simple machine that is taught in 9th grade science called
the Atwood machine. You can look that up.
In freshman physics classes, one learns that you can find the final
velocity of the hanging masses by using:
* Newton's 2nd law
* Conservation of momentum, including external impulse
* Conservation of energy
Later, one finds that you can do the same thing using
* Lagrangian mechanics
* Hamiltonian mechanics

Now, let's see. I suppose you will now say that classical Newtonian
physics cannot agree on one way to solve this problem, and that all
the ways available to skin the cat all contradict each other.

KW, you are an idiot.

To go from Los Angeles to Chicago, I can choose to:

** Walk
** Drive a car
** Fly an airplane
** Ride a train

In the meantime, we are talking about the twins’ paradox. The
mechanics of the following two proposed resolutions are drastically
different and contradict each other:

** Lagevin’s mathemagic of using Larmor’s transform instead of the
Lorentz transform

** GR as suggested by Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the
liar

PD, after losing your proud professorship, please don’t take it out on
