Strange Phenomena question?
1. Question:
The further the twin distances himself in a straight line from Earth
(1/3c) then just as the twin turns around (-1/3c), if the Earth then
also travels at 1/3c to meet him *HALF-WAY* then both their clocks will
be the same again? Correct?
***
Nope, the first twin will age slower while traveling away at 1/3 c,
then both the earth and the traveller will age slower at the same
rate as they come together at a speed they (earth and traveller)
measure as (1/3 + 1/3)/( 1 + 1/9) the speed of light. I'm assuming
that 1/3 speed is measured from the point of view of a Martian, which
is pretty nearly at rest compared to the Earth. If a rest frame is not
specified, that part about earth also travelling at 1/3 c doesn't make
good sense. Try reading a book about relativity- Martin Gardner's book
is easily understood- A. McIntire
