twins paradox

I recently read an article written by Steve Bryant "relativity challenge" and wondered what others thought of it...I noticed a lot of hostility towards it...even though, to me it made a lot of sense, by disproving a lot of the trash that SR and GR predicts. I have not included a link as:- I...

I was going over Special Relativity in my head the other night, and just as it was starting to make sense to me, I came across a mental conundrum that has me stumped. I was thinking about the twins paradox, where one twin goes out into space, traveling at relativistic speeds for a while, then...

Okay, I'm trying to get to grips with relativity and I have just about come to terms with the twin paradox. This states that two twins could exist and one gets into a spaceship and fliues away from the earth then back again incredibly fast and as a result of relitivity the travelling twin would...

Gravity is the equivalent of acceleration, according to SR. No test can tell the difference. Gravity has been shown, in accordance with GR, to cause time dialation. GPS clocks are set to accommodate for the fact that they're not as far down in earth's "gravity well." Clocks run faster out in...

hey, isn't the twin on the rocket getting older relative to his twin on Earth (since to the twin on the rocket the Earth looks like it's travelling close to the speed of light)? In this analogy it's always the twin on the rocket who stays the same age (or ages only slightly) and his earthly twin...

I think many of us have been wondering what lifegazer could possibly have that he considers proof, especially when it comes to special relativity. Wait no more. Due to the magic of google and cut and paste (I'm not the first, lifegazer has cut and pasted this across many forums and been banned...
