 Absolutely.

 But the term is slightly improper, because it can make you think that we 
are talking about the times noted on watches.

Paul, Paul, I see that you still haven't understood, and you are still 
repeating the same inaccuracies, the same bad judgments about what I say.

The term "mutual dilation of chronotropies" is more accurate, but 
apparently, the scientific community should be afraid of it, because, 
except in the medical field, it is very difficult to pronounce. LOL.

There is reciprocity ; and accelerations, weight, gravity have nothing to 
do with the theory of relativity. I know that by saying this, I have all 
the guns in the world pointed at me, but it is reality. There is 
reciprocity. Why?
Because the theory of relativity, and more precisely the Lorentz factor, 
which is one of the cornerstones of understanding, only relies on one 
thing: relative speed.
This is called the dilation of chronotropies and accelerations have 
nothing to do with it, only the RELATIVE SPEED at each precise moment.
Now dilation of chronotropies does not mean dilation of the times written 
on watches. We must not forget that when I move at high speed, I not only 
move at a certain speed, whatever the direction of my movement, but that I 
also move in space, and that I modify my distance from the observer who 
apprehends me and vice versa. A sort of Doppler effect (anisochrony) will 
be created that must also be taken into account on watches. There are 
therefore two phenomena: anisochrony, and the dilation of chronotropies. 
The internal mechanism of watches (second degree) and the external 
mechanism of watches.
You are not making any effort Paul, it is a pity, because you are still 
one of the best specialists on the problem.

Gravitation has nothing to do with The Special Theory of Relativity.
But in this scenario twin B is accelerating during the whole journey,
and an accelerated object has weight.

The Lorenz factor depends only on their relative speed.
But their speed in an inertial frame also depends on their
_proper_ accelerations.

See equation (14)

So for the scenario to be reciprocal both their relative speed
and their proper accelerations must be reciprocal.

Their relative speed is reciprocal, but their accelerations are not.

This is the reason why their proper times are different.

Twin A ages 23.664 year
Twin B ages  9.912 year

No reciprocity.
Fact.
Nothing more to discuss.

There is a flaw in your way of understanding the ratio of observable time 
(terrestrial) and proper time (rockets in general).
As much in Galilean environments, where you only involve the reciprocal 
internal mechanism of watches, as in accelerated frames of reference, 
where you confuse the progression of observable times (red line) with the 
rotating path on a drawing (blue line) of the end of the segment To.
This results in a lower Tr/To ratio and an incorrect and too low predicted 
Tr (tau). All physicists do this, but it is wrong.
The correct equation is however very simple, and there is not even any 
need to go through an integration (I do not use one, as I do not use the 
invariance of the space-time interval or the Minkowski block, which bring 
more misunderstandings than practical solutions).

The correct equation is To(observable time reference Earth) with 
To=Tr.sqrt(1+(1/4)Vr²/c²) where Vr is the real speed of the object at a 
given time.

We can then write:
To=Tr².sqrt(1+(1/4)a².Tr²/c²)

I'll let you do the math, you'll see that my To is slightly lower than 
yours, and conversely if you have To and you look for Tr, you will have a 
higher rate than expected by your calculation.

Je rappelle que ce qui est réciproque, toujours, seconde après seconde, 
c'est la chronotropie interne des montres. Toujours, l'autre montre bat 
plus lentement en son mécanisme interne, et toujours, toujours, toujours 
: To=Tr/sqrt(1-Vo²/c²) où Vo est la vitesse relative instantanée à 
chaque instant. 

MAIS il faut prendre en compte les problémes :
1) d'anisochronie (traverser de l'espace, c'est traverser AUSSI du temps, 
car la simultanéité est relative an fonction de l'endroit de l'espace 
où l'on se trouve)
2) d'effet-zoom spatial énorme (l'espace est un mollusque de 
référence). Je le répète, même si ça rend fou tout le monde : 
lorsque Terrence voit Stella virer, et revenir sur lui, rien ne se passe. 
Il la voit, évidemment, à 12 ly. Le contraire serait absurde. 
Mais Stella voit Terrence à 36ly!!!
C'est là la dernière et la plus formidable clé de l'explication du 
voyageur de Langevin. Explication que je donne depuis des années, et qui 
fait rire tout le monde, parce que personne ne comprend cette géométrie 
magnifique de l'espace et du temps.

In physics, proper time is what clocks show.
The only way to observe time is to read it off a clock.
So "observed time" and "proper time" are the same.

Bullshit, anyone can check GPS, your delusional
idiocies have nothing in common with "what clocks
show".
It is just "what a relativistic idiot imagines clocks
show".

Or - imagine a clock with the readings  you

It's more complicated than that, breathe, blow...

Observable time is an abstract entity that, in fact, no one really 
measures.

It is based on the chronotropy of watches, that is to say the speed at 
which their internal mechanism evolves in relation to another watch.

This mechanism is always symmetrical, and always, we have 
To=Tr/sqrt(1-v²/c²) for two reciprocal watches.

Each has an internal mechanism that turns reciprocally faster than the 
other. This effect is very strange and disorienting (especially for 
Maciej), but it is a fundamental paradox.

Then, there is the apparent time Tapp.

Apparent time is the examiner's own time.

If we want to know the proper time of the examiner in relation to the 
proper time of the examinee, we must write:

Tapp=Tr.(1+cosµv/c)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

or Tr(for me)=Tr(yours).(1+cosµv/c)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

So "observable time" is not observable,
and isn't the time observed on a clock.

Stands to reason, doesn't it? :-D

So "the internal mechanism" make the abstract entity "observable time",
that, in fact, no one really can observe, show something in relation
to another watch.

How can "the internal mechanism" know which watch is
the "another watch"?
How can "the internal mechanism" know the reading of
the "another watch"?
How can "the internal mechanism" know the speed of
the "another watch"?

------------------

It isn't really funny.

So why am I amused?

There are three notions of time in Dr. Hachel's work.

Proper time (Tr, tau), which is the simplest notion to understand, and 
which I don't even have to explain.

Observable time, which is an abstract notion, but which we all use for 
convenience, and which rather defines the chronotropy of each frame of 
reference in relation to another.

Apparent time, which, in fact, is the proper time during which an observer 
observes an event that happens elsewhere.

These are very simple notions, once we understand the principle.

Let's take an event that occurs in Stella's rocket, and which lasts one 
hour. We will note that the proper time (tau), for Stella, is 1 hour. We 
will also call it real time (Tr).

Tr = tau = 1 h

Now, this real time, this proper time, is also the observable time in 
Stella's frame of reference. That is to say that for all the stationary 
observers present in its frame of reference will measure To=1h.

But it is no longer the time measured in another frame of reference, since 
we said that the observable time, that is to say the chronotropy was 
relative. In another frame of reference animated by a uniform rectilinear 
movement of speed Vo=0.8c, the proper time of the event in R becomes an 
observable time in R' which is 1h20. This is called the dilation of the 
chronotropy (Lorentz factor).

But that is not all, it is ALSO necessary as Dr. Hachel says (who is 
obviously completely crazy) to take into account the position of the 
observer, who will note an apparent time measured with his own proper 
time.

Let's admit that the rocket is hurtling towards the earth, and that we 
want to know how long the event lasts for the terrestrial observer.

Tapp=Tr(1+cosµ.v/c)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)=20mn.

That is to say that for Stella, it lasted 1 hour of proper time, but for 
Terrence, it lasted 20' of proper time.

I have been explaining it for years, and unfortunately it seems that no 
one makes the effort to understand a reasoning that is both true, 
experimentally proven, and conceptually very beautiful. So we mock, and we 
spit.

It is obviously stupid.

Let's add a poignant reflection: if already, this, which is only simple 
Galilean relativistic logic is difficult for you to understand, how do I 
explain relativity in uniformly accelerated media and in rotating 
relativistic media?

I just have to watch others explain this with pure mathematical 
theoretical madness, and start crying at the abstract and ridiculous 
notions they teach.

This is total nonsense, since a clock is a man-made device, while time 
is not.

A clock is a tiny machine and counts ticks of some sort internally and 
shows the results in a user-friendly way.

But this is not equal to the phenomenon 'time', because that is 
something observable in nature.

For instance we can easily observe the passing of time in the passing of 
days and years.

And the Earth and the Sun are definitely not man-made.

Clocks do not show time, but the result of a process, which counts ticks.

These ticks are assume to come in a constant frequency, hence we base or 
measurements of time upon this axiom.

But in fact we don't know, whether or not this is the case and that time 
flows always at the same speed.

Possibly this ain't true and time jumps occasionally (or often).

But we cannot measured such 'jumps', if all measuring devices would 
perform the same jumps, too.

So: steady and universal flow of time is an axiom.

But we have actually reason to believe, that this axiom is false.

Most likely time is local only and other places have local time, too, 
but other tick rates (and possibly other time directions).

'observable' is not the same as 'measurement'.

Observable are day and night, while clocks provide a measurement.

Machines don't know anything.

It's the people ('observers') who know something (occasionally).

Such observer are usually somewhere and call the remote clocks 'the 
other clock'.

If you would allow unconscious 'knowledge', then it would be possible to 
transmit a timing signal from one machine to the other.
That signal is used then by internal 'intelligence' of one of the 
clocks, which sets the hand according to the internal program in synch 
with the other clock.

That could be measured by a series of timing signals.

There is a flaw in your way of understanding the ratio of observable time 
(terrestrial) and proper time (rockets in general).
As much in Galilean environments, where you only involve the reciprocal 
internal mechanism of watches, as in accelerated frames of reference, 
where you confuse the progression of observable times (red line) with the 
rotating path on a drawing (blue line) of the end of the segment To.
This results in a lower Tr/To ratio and an incorrect and too low predicted 
Tr (tau). All physicists do this, but it is wrong.
The correct equation is however very simple, and there is not even any 
need to go through an integration (I do not use one, as I do not use the 
invariance of the space-time interval or the Minkowski block, which bring 
more misunderstandings than practical solutions).

The correct equation is To(observable time reference Earth) with 
To=Tr.sqrt(1+(1/4)Vr²/c²) where Vr is the real speed of the object at a 
given time.

We can then write:
To=Tr.sqrt(1+(1/4)a².Tr²/c²)

I'll let you do the math, you'll see that my To is slightly lower than 
yours, and conversely if you have To and you look for Tr, you will have a 
higher rate than expected by your calculation.

Je rappelle que ce qui est réciproque, toujours, seconde après seconde, 
c'est la chronotropie interne des montres. Toujours, l'autre montre bat 
plus lentement en son mécanisme interne, et toujours, toujours, toujours 
: To=Tr/sqrt(1-Vo²/c²) où Vo est la vitesse relative instantanée à 
chaque instant. 

MAIS il faut prendre en compte les problémes :
1) d'anisochronie (traverser de l'espace, c'est traverser AUSSI du temps, 
car la simultanéité est relative an fonction de l'endroit de l'espace 
où l'on se trouve)
2) d'effet-zoom spatial énorme (l'espace est un mollusque de 
référence). Je le répète, même si ça rend fou tout le monde : 
lorsque Terrence voit Stella virer, et revenir sur lui, rien ne se passe. 
Il la voit, évidemment, à 12 ly. Le contraire serait absurde. 
Mais Stella voit Terrence à 36ly!!!
C'est là la dernière et la plus formidable clé de l'explication du 
voyageur de Langevin. Explication que je donne depuis des années, et qui 
fait rire tout le monde, parce que personne ne comprend cette géométrie 
magnifique de l'espace et du temps.

Damn, Paul, will you stop your bullshit?

Do you want to make a fool of yourself or what?

I'm not sure that your smileys and sallys are so funny.

I repeat once again (I've already had students who were speechless and 
didn't understand anything, but there...):

There exists, in the theory of relativity, a notion of relative 
chronotropy.

I repeat again for you: "There exists, in the theory of relativity, a 
notion of relative chronotropy".

That is to say that the INTERNAL mechanism of watches, watches makes that 
they do not conceive of time in the same way; each watch, and it is 
reciprocal, notes that the other watch has a slower internal mechanism, 
according to the relative speed, the faster we go between them, the more 
the other watch has a real internal mechanism that seems to beat slowly.

The equation has been known since 1905: To=tau/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

We breathe, we exhale.

This means (5632nd edition by Hachel, the next one is on rotary press) 
that second after second, Stella will consider that the INTERNAL MECHANISM 
of Terrence's watch beats less quickly. This means that for all the 
seconds of Stella's life (9 years in the stars), she will consider that 
the internal chronotropy of Terrence's watch counts 4/3 of a second.

And vice versa.

We breathe, we exhale, and we convince ourselves that Paul has not yet 
understood Hachel's genius (three Nobels, a doctorate, a powerful thought 
nonetheless).

Yet in the end, they compare their watches, she is nine years old, he is 
13.5, and they obviously agree on that, otherwise it is absurd.

However, nothing interesting happened during the U-turn, she ages a few 
hours (let's say 24 hours), and he ages 40 hours, so it's pretty ordinary.

So what's happening?

We breathe, we blow, we let the master (Richard Hachel) speak.

Everything happens for Stella, as if a bad watchmaker had made a 
completely faulty watch for Terrence, and that the INTERNAL mechanism of 
the watch beat 4/3 times faster if v=0.8c for example.

It's easy to understand.

But it's as if the watch that was going to measure the journey had a 
second problem, this one of the first degree. This watch considers that 
there is also a universal anisochrony, a defect of LOCAL, positional 
simultaneity.

It will then be necessary to make a SECOND correction, of the type 
Tapp=To(1+cosµ.v/c).

We then arrive at the equation t'=t.(1+cosµ.v/c)/sqrt(1-v²/c²) which is 
the real time marked on watches.

In short, affirming that internal chronotropy is relative, we have known 
this since 1905, but that is not enough.

We must take into account universal anisochrony.

And there, everything falls into place with a theory of great majesty.

It may make you laugh, but frankly, I do not see where it is so funny.

So in total, he has 13.5 years (in your example) of accelerated traveler 
at a=1ly/year, and she has 9 (time that you chose).

I beg you to make the effort to understand what I have been explaining for 
years, and which you seem to mock.

This is what SR predicts, and anyone can check
