The twins meet at T=12 and τ=9.33. The blue numbers indicate the coordinate time T in the inertial frame of the stay-at-home-twin, the red numbers the proper time τ of the rocket-twin, and "a" is the proper acceleration. The thin red lines represent lines of simultaneity in terms of the different momentary inertial frames of the rocket-twin.

These equations are often used for the calculation of various scenarios of the twin paradox or Bell's spaceship paradox, or in relation to space travel using constant acceleration. b) The constant, transverse proper acceleration a y 0 = a y γ 2 {\displaystyle a_{y}^{0}=a_{y}\gamma ^{2}} by ( 3a ) can be seen as a centripetal acceleration ...
Bell's spaceship paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity. It was first described by E. Dewan and M. Beran in 1959 [ 1 ] but became more widely known after John Stewart Bell elaborated the idea further in 1976. [ 2 ]
The twin paradox is an example of this effect. [2] The dark blue vertical line represents an inertial observer measuring a coordinate time interval t between events E 1 and E 2. The red curve represents a clock measuring its proper time interval τ between the same two events.
In “The Twin Paradox,” what had started as a dark Cold War secret grew into a corporate effort to resurrect the DNA of the greatest thinkers from history. 18 years later, mankind’s most ...
The reciprocity of the phenomenon also leads to the so-called twin paradox where the aging of twins, one staying on Earth and the other embarking on space travel, is compared, and where the reciprocity suggests that both persons should have the same age when they reunite. On the contrary, at the end of the round-trip, the traveling twin will be ...
According to the special theory of relativity introduced by Albert Einstein, it is impossible to say in an absolute sense that two distinct events occur at the same time if those events are separated in space.
