Simultaneity at a distance is not a choice.       >              But what does the above say about the current age of the home twin       (she), according to the traveling twin (he), for each instant in his       life on his trip? The answer is that the above equations give the same       results as the Co-Moving-Inertial-Frames (CMIF) simultaneity method.       That is very fortuitous, because the CMIF method is relatively easy to       use. The value of the array of clocks discussed above (which establish       a "NOW" moment for the accelerating observer that extends throughout all       space) is that they GUARANTEE that the CMIF results are fully meaningful       to the traveler, and that the CMIF method is the ONLY correct       simultaneity method for him. He has no other choice.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
