Re: A twin contraction paradox



Just point at what you think is the error and explain what
is wrong with it.

This I have done, and will now do again. You say that according to B,
dx' = L ( = 1 meter), so that is the length to use. You also say that
according to B, dx' = 0, so you should use that, but you don't. This is
not consistent. Consistency is using the contracted length at all
places in the relevant equation, or using the proper length - not
mixing them. As the prongs are 0.866m apart when they strike A (as
measured from A of course), that is the length to use. Please try not
to make disparaging personal remarks, keep to the subject at hand. Your
or my argument will stand or fall on its own merits, such comments as
being unable to read are to say the least unhelpful. Please tell me why
you use dx' = 1, but do not use dt' = 0 .
