and furthermore if it was ONLY the effect of motion then we should NOT expect to see the same effect when we instead simply use a gravity field. we should expect to see the effect only when moving.
we see this effect with just a gravity field as well.
it's not simply motion throwing off the clock.
it is actual, factual, time dilation.

Wow I can't believe I understand this now! I watched your 5 relativity videos, then came back to this, and it all makes sense now!

@1zacster I thought he did. Anyway here's a basic equivalence way of looking at it:

So, uh, when go they crash?

Even though in a visual model the three events happen at different times and we suppose the subjects would nottice this, I think they would not. I think that instead of a paradox this is just a mental glitch in humans that we have a hard time compensating for. For instane if you had never seen the color purple, then were asked to think of a color you had never seen, you would not think of purple. I could be off on this but this is my first reaction to learning about this paradox.

I couldn't understand any of this because I couldn't tell which one was red and which one was green (I'm colorblind)
:(

Haven't you written your coordinate transformations incorrectly? Shouldn't the relativistic factor read gamma = ( 1 - beta^2 ) ^ (-1/2) , where beta = v/c ?

@quidproquo2004 I used the notation beta = 1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) which is what Einstein used in his original paper. Many texts use the notation you mention. I also chose units in which c=1.
