      From: fortunati.luigi@gmail.com              Before the departure, the two brothers agree that from the Earth,       every 10 years, the earth twin would send a flash to the spaceship.               The traveling twin starts and half of his trip (after 5 years of his)       arrives next to the distant star around which he will turn to go back.                For him, due to temporal dilation, on Earth, where time runs 8 times       slower, it has not even been a year and therefore it will have to pass       more than 9 earthy years before the first lightning starts.                Then the spaceship rotates around the star and prepares for the last       5 years of the return trip.               If just before the turnaround, they were missing (on Earth) more than       9 years after the first flash started, how many years are missing now       that the return has just started?              --       Luigi Fortunati              Credere e' piu' facile che pensare       Believing is easier than thinking              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
