Reminder, never talk about physics again. LOL

Actually I didn’t read your entire comment, basically all I read was “Graham got hurt” and I just felt like answering it, in fact, if I read that last part which I did just now I’d probably ignore you xD

Ah, thank you Keiichi. Some listens to me.

The reason why Graham was injured was because of the g-force from the sub-sonic or transonic turns that he made with his Flag. The turns at that speed can lead to thousands of pounds of pressure on concentrated parts of your body, tearing you up from the inside, it’s not like just moving in a straight line.

I feel that you’re asserting there is one absolute reference frame that represents reality. There are no absolute reference frames, so “perception of reality” is essentially all that matters, as long as you can go back and forth between relative reference frames.

Its exactly because there are no absolute reference frames the twin paradox cant happen. If there was, there would be no problem making everything fit.

The twin paradox claims to represent reality, not just perception of reality.

err, your missing the point. The theory states that while both A or B will think they are stationary, in truth both of them are moving.

Do you think the earth is still? No, the planet is moving but we don’t happen to feel it since the movement is constant. So from our frame of reference the earth is still and the sun seems to be moving.

Did I get that right dark, or do I need to be schooled? Oh well, I’m no expert in this matter.

edit: a big part of relitiveity is that it proved there was no one absolute reference frame

Unfortunately no. The twin paradox claims to represent reality, not just perception of reality. For this to happen the way described, each frame of reference can not be equally valid.

When two objects A and B are at different velocities and not accelerating, each with speed less than c, we can discuss two ways to observe the motion (although there are actually infinite): one is in A’s reference frame, and the other is in B’s reference frame. This does not mean there are “multiple realities” but rather that observing the motion of the two objects in either reference frame is equally correct; the person observing from A’s reference frame can claim that A is stationary and B is moving at a non-zero velocity, while the person observing from B’s reference frame can claim that B is stationary and A is moving at a non-zero velocity. That’s why the Lorentz factor does not require “multiple realities”. Does that address your post?

DM: Which is it? Absolute speed, multiple realities, acceleration, what?
