Well OK.


Here is the original July 25th post with ** modifications **.

"OK. So next thought experiment. 

Each twin has a rocket pre-programmed to fire at specific intervals to fly the second twin out to space, turn around, return to Earth and re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and land on its launch platform. 

The Earth twin's rocket is fixed to a test platform. It ** is programmed to fire the same firing sequences based on its internal atomic clock ** but does not go anywhere ** as it is fixed firmly to a testing stand **. 

The Travelling twin's rocket is what takes him out to space and back. "

OK so far?

When each rocket's pre-programmed firing sequence takes place, in the stationary twin's frame of reference, the rocket fires for a total of x seconds and uses y amount of fuel. The same thing happens in the travelling twin's frame of reference, that is, the rocket fires for y number of seconds as the travelling twin measures in his frame of reference. Actually this is the principle of relativity (Galillean).

The situation is somewhat complicated by the GR effects caused by the acceleration due to the firing of the rockets.

Ok ?

Is this OK?

Ok, so it is preprogrammed to fire for x seconds and to use only y amount of fuel. And note that this rocket (home twin) remains inertial at all times since he is not accelerating; he is "bolted" to the ground and just wasting fuel.

Huh? Dont you mean x seconds? 

And, are you saying that he too is preprogrammed to fire for x seconds (in his non inertial frame) and to use y amount of fuel ? If so, then as per your setup, they both use y amount of fuel.

OK, at the start of the journey,  or before, the programming of the rockets has taken place. 

When the Earth twin's rocket sequence completes, it has fired for x seconds on planet Earth.

Onboard the rocket, the travelling twin sees everything ticking along just fine at normal clock rates. He notes from his instruments that the rocket has fired in sequence for y seconds.

Now is x = y ?

The reasons I ask, is that I have read that 'clocks tick slower for the travelling twin compared to the stay at home twin' - all I ask is, is this true. 

My point is when they re-unite, it will be found that the travelling twin is younger and so is his onboard clock. Less seconds have ticked for the travelling twin, since he is younger, he has taken in less food, and used less energy. (assuming they eat the same boring spacefood in tubes). 

Less seconds have ticked for the clock controlling the rocket firing, have they not?

Forget about all this nonsense about rockets.

Think about the twin situation and calculate:

1) The traveling twin is going at v=0.6c towards a star located at 5 light
years.
2) The traveling twin carries a very powerful telescope and periodically
sees the position of Earth on her orbit.
3) Question: according to the traveler twin clock, how many days takes the
Earth to complete an orbit?

You should be able to answer this with simple algebra.

Even simpler with words. A stationary observer will see events taking place slower in the moving frame when he views the events in the moving frame. That is what the train thought experiment seeks to demonstrate, or the light clock thought experiment seeks to prove. The earth is like a ray of light in the light clock and will be seen to take more than 1 year to complete an orbit. At least that's what the convulated reasoning of SRT seems to indicate.

This depends on how you programmed them; what did you instruct them to do?
You might of programmed the first to fire for 1 second and programmed the travelling one to continuously fire hence fired for the whole journey, say 10 secs on his clock.

No, it is NOT true. The expression "clocks tick slower for the travelling twin" is very misleading and will lead astray the ones who which to dwell deeper into relativity. What should be said is that t' < t as they reunite; the values of their clocks will differ (the traveling one being less).

Correct. t' < t.

His clock increased by a value of ticked t' units (seconds).

He has taken less food & less 'food energy'. But he took way more energy elsewhere (how did he attain the same speeds & accelerations as his ship?)

No, identically programmed, their input is the local clock, with its own rate of ticking in each case.

OK, well thanks for clearing that up, because it has caused much unnecessary confusion, however, in the time dilation calculation given here on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

"From the frame of reference of a moving observer traveling at the speed v relative to the rest frame of the clock (diagram at right), the light pulse traces out a longer, angled path. The second postulate of special relativity states that the speed of light in free space is constant for all inertial observers, which implies a lengthening of the period of this clock from the moving observer's perspective. That is to say, in a frame moving relative to the local clock, this clock appears to be running more slowly. Straightforward application of the Pythagorean theorem leads to the well-known prediction of special relativity:.."

" That is to say, in a frame moving relative to the local clock, this clock appears to be running more slowly"

Are you saying the above statement is incorrect?

OK, agreed, less food, less energy.

Has the rocket on board the travelling twin's spaceship used less fuel and less energy? 

When they finally unite, 

 Correct. t' < t.

That interval, for the travelling twin, contains the durations of rocket firings.  So the durations of rocket firings, say for example if onboard rocket control unit logs are examined, they will show that the final firing time logged as an earlier time than the stay at home twins logs.

Assuming they both start off at t0, and end up with t' <t, what can we say about all events taking place in the interval t0 to t' and t0 to t?  Has time been compressed for the travelling twin in that all events onboard the spaceship are recorded as having started and stopped earlier than for that of the stay at home twin?

Take the simple example of a ball tossed up to the ceiling of a spaceship and letting it land again on the floor. (another experiment, this is). Assumed it is thrown up at t0 for both twins and lands on the floor of the spaceship at the moment the twins re-unite.  A camera with a timer on screen will show the ball took time t0-t to complete its journey. 

However the same experiment done on Earth will show it takes t0-t' to complete the journey.

since t < t' you have the same experiment recorded as taking different times in each separate frame of reference.

Ok never mind a ball, assume for example another phenomena such as crystal growth. 

Has anyone raised this issue?

Listen, in the real world we use clocks to indicate time.
We don't use engines and candles for the purpose, for some
obvious reasons.

A candle that burns at a constant rate is just a form of clock.  So, the 
stay-at-home twin's candle will be shorter since more time passed for him.

The point is that odometers measure distance, while clocks measure elapsed 
(proper) time. This is an ANALOGY. The usual twin paradox with instantaneous 
accelerations is a triangle, and the clocks measure the elapsed (proper) time 
along each path. As the geometry is hyperbolic, the one that traversed two sides 
of the triangle experienced less elapsed (proper) time than the one who 
traversed one.

Each odometer measured 1 meter for every meter traversed. Each clock measured 1 
second for every second traversed.

It appears a big problem many have with the traveling twin problem
is that people don't understand the idea of time flowing at different
rates.  It is natural to think of time as absolute and universal
everywhere, even though SR says it's not.  Many kook theories
"disproving" SR arise from implicitly using this concept.

However, I think most people understand the science fiction idea of
a time machine that can transport one into the future. So imagine a
time machine that can transport one twin into the future instantaneously
as far as the transportee is concerned.  So consider this problem:
Two twins on earth are 30 years old, it is the year 2030. One twin
travels for a year to reach the time machine out in space. (he also
travels slow enough so that Newtonian mechanics apply, we can disregard
any SR stuff). When the traveling twin reaches the time machine, we can
agree both are 31 years old and it is the year 2031.  The time machine
instantly* transports the twin two years into the future.  He sees
the universe as it is in the year 2033. He then travels back to earth,
which takes a year. It is now 2034.  The stay-at-home twin is now 34
years old. How old is the traveling twin?  32? 34? Something else?
Why? Explain your answer.

(*) The twin experiences no time while being transported forward in
time. He enters the time machine in the year 2031, presses the button
and poof, it's now 2033.  This concept would also work for a time
machine that "took time" to go into the future, as if the future was
being fast forwarded like in the 1960 "The Time Machine" movie or the
Star Trek:TOS "City on the Edge of Forever" episode.

Actually you just proved you are that kook "disproving". There are no
"flowing at different rates". How stupid can you be. My ohh my. Morony is

That's not the real problem. The real problem is that time does NOT "flow at 
different rates" [#], and yet when the twins rejoin they are different ages.

	[#] That is, for a traveling twin who experiences gentle
	accelerations that she survives, within her spaceship time
	always flows as she is accustomed to -- she can measure any
	time-dependent physical process inside her spaceship and
	MEASURE that time flows as usual (e.g. measuring the
	frequencies of atomic lines; the lifetimes of metastable
	states, etc.). Indeed, after accounting for the acceleration
	from her spaceship's thrust, she can use ALL of the physics
	textbooks and reference materials we use today, WITHOUT
	CHANGE (except for the difference in gravity).

The difference between the twins' ages is PURE GEOMETRY, but of a sort that most 
people have never experienced. It is measurable because clocks measure the 
elapsed proper time along their trajectory though spacetime -- different 
trajectories between a given pair of events (departure, reunion) can have 
different elapsed proper times (aka ages).

With the analogy:
	clock -> odometer
	time  -> distance
it is quite clear that odometers traversing different paths between a given pair 
of points can display different distances. The difference between the analogy 
and the twin paradox is that automobile odometers clearly have a direct coupling 
to the road on which they travel, while clocks have no such coupling. But 
consider a new type of odometer that measures distance without any such 
coupling, and can measure distance in the vacuum of deep space -- it's clear 
that it is still true that odometers traversing different paths can display 
different distances. Well, a clock is like that new odometer, except it displays 
time instead of distance, without any "coupling" to anything.

Consider the following 2 options:
One car travels straight from Chicago to New York. The odometer will 
show 600 miles.
Car two travels from Chicago to Houston and then straight to New York.
The odo meter will show 600 + 600 = 1200 miles.
Both car will start at the same moment and arrive at the same moment.
This implies that the second car drives the fastest.
Both cars have a clock. Both clocks are reset at the start of the experiment.
Question: when both cars are in New York will both clocks show the 
same reading?

This implies (if my understanding is correct) that the second clock should 
show less elapsed proper time.
In simple terminology; the second clocks runs behind

Okay
> Each clock measured 1 second for every second traversed.
Here we have a problem. What do you mean?

To solve the issue "how clocks perform" we have to made two (4) assumptions:
1) We agree that every where, the universe, at this moment
has the same time after the Big Bang. This implies that the Universe
has everywhere the same age.
2) We agree that every where in the universe at this moment,
all events that can be be indentified, are simultaneous events.
3) As such we also agree that a self centered view of the Universe
(of what I see and observe) is irrelevent. 
4) As such it is our responsible to define a clock which shows
the age of the Universe.

The problem is that an odometer is not very helpfull in this
exercise, which as far as I understand can only be used to measure
distances here on earth (?) and not in space.

When you want to study the twin "paradox" different identical clocks
with different speeds are used. Different speeds require accelerations
and these accelerations change the performs of the clocks.
At the pages 26 and 27 in the book GRAVITATION the concept "good" and
"bad" clocks is introduced. "Bad" clocks undergo accelarations. 
Accelerations imply different speeds. IMO when you change the speed 
it is the inner workings of the clock that changes. This is important
for a clock which uses lightsignals to function, because the speed
of light does not change. The result is that the usual clock rate
changes. The most important lesson is "not" to use clocks with 
different speeds when you want to unravel the laws of nature.

A very interesting article to study is this:

That is not the point of the analogy at all. The point is that you probably
would agree in that the different lectures on the odometers, after the two
different trips, are not due to any physical change to the odometers
themselves but to the different travelled distances.

The analogy is that, in the twin scenario, the different lectures of the twin
clocks, are not due to any physical change to the clocks themselves but to
the different paths through spacetime.

The change in the odometers come because of the different physical
distances travelled.

I do not think you need the concept of spacetime to explain this 
behavior.
If you have a clock at "rest" (#) this clock will tick at a constant 
rate, that means the time between each tick is constant.
If after a tick you move the clock the next tick will be later.
If you move the clock back the next tick again will be later.
From there on the clock will again tick at his original constant rate.
(all compared with an identical clock)

The reason is because the speed of light can be considered locally a 
physical constant. The innerworkings of certain clocks are based on 
lightsignals. When you move such a clock its behaviour will change. 

When you move the clock in fact there are different speeds 
and accelerations involved. In fact these accelerations are 
the cause that the moving clock (compared with the clock at rest)
runs behind or ticks slower. 

A whole different issue is to predict in advance how much the clock
runs behind or ticks slower. In order to do that you need more
measurements and this requires mathematics, but the mathematics
sec does not explain the behaviour of the clocks.

(#) To call a clock at rest is a physical simplification. The 
whole issue is that if a clock is at rest or not, has no influence 
physical on the speed of light. The assumption is in order to 
calculate the speed of light (from A to B) you should use clocks
which don't move. All of this becomes simpler if only one
reference frame is involved.

First, every clock is at rest with respect to itself and with respect to co-moving clocks (relativity is always local, meaning in the vicinity of a spacetime location). That implies that comparison with clocks that are not near is impossible. Say you want to compare your at rest in the Moon clock with your at rest at Earth clock. For that you need to exchange signals, which will take 1.3 seconds (and changing) to reach the other clock. So you will be comparing one current clock reading with the reading of the other clock but from 1.3 seconds before.

What it is usually presented in twin paradox scenarios is the following:

1) You start with two synchronized identical clocks before the twin departs.
2) The Traveling twin, according to his co-moving clock, periodicaly sends a
signal to the Earth twin (for instance, "hey today is my birthday"). The Earth
twin does the same, that is sends a signal to the traveling twin "hey today
is your birthday". The reception of those yearly signals can be compared.
(See the second figure in

3) When the twins reunite, they can make the final comparison between their
clocks.

Atomic clocks do not rely in lightsignal at all.

First, accelerations do not affect atomic clocks working at all (of course within a certain limit (probably over 200g), where the clock box components begin to dissasemble). 
Secondly, you can use a constant acceleration of one g to reach very high speeds in less than a year (and breaking in less than a year). With that acceleration the traveler twin would be very happy.

SR and GR do predict the correct values for the reading of those clocks.
