[MrPiVotTV]

this is the best explanation i've ever seen!

[RomanPhilosopher]

LOL thank you so much. I did this for a presentation in an astronomy class I took, I had a russian scientist as my prof and I got the only A in the class. I'm glad it helped explain Einstein's Special Theory to you. :D

[hausenharry]

lengthy, but good!

thank God for Your sense of noticing

Really Thank You!!!!!

[RomanPhilosopher]

No Problemo, But thank YHWH for noticing what?

[LothairApoclyane]

i've been thinking about this stuff lately. i keep remembering how astonishing it is that we're all really moving in numerous directions at once without realizing it.

[RomanPhilosopher]

Imagine what a world of no motion would be like. Would physics even work? Is this constant motion of so many systems, which has been present since the big bang, and the mass of kinetic energy prior to the big bang in theory at least... it means the world has always been in a state of motion. A world without motion, would it even exist? Is motion required for not only physics but for existence?

awri......i love u.....

Gravity (and therefore, according to Einstein, also acceleration) slows down time. The brother who ventures out into space, undergoes dramatic acceleration, and therefore his time goes slower, but he won't notice that until he sees his older twin. For all observers, their own time always seems to run at normal speed. But when they compare clocks they will be in for some heavy contemplation:) The effect of gravity on time has been measured: To date, Einstein's theories still hold true.

Why do you say it isn't really a paradox? Mind explaining? =D I was also confused with this paradox. If I remember correctly, the correct answer is the brother who stays on earth will be older than the flying brother. But I'm not sure why

[camel747]

Special Relativity doesn't cover situations with acceleration. To the best of my knowledge, all effects described in Special Relativity are symmetrical, in that two observers always see the same time dilation and length contraction when they observe the other. The twin paradox (which isn't really a paradox) cannot be explained by Special Relativity, because without acceleration, the two brothers would observe the same time and length variations.

[royalsnowman]

"All observers in constant motion relative to somebody else will see exactly the same speed of light in vacuum"

Why constant motion? You mean during acceleration, we will perceive different light speed? 00:52

Really fantastico thank you!!!

u know i watched a loooot of videos -- but i couldn;t understand what the TSR really represent,

ur video is much simplier , i understood what i wanted, thx a lot :)
