| (...) I think the answer is that we'll all grow old faster by stressing ourselves out trying to solve this. :-) Don't forget that the Theory of Relativity is just that, a theory. Also, it's based on the assumed constant of the speed of light. The (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)

| (...) Well, I usually like to consider myself the Lorenz Reference Point of the universe, so it's anyone who's accelerating relative to me! Seriously, I see what you're saying--to the person in the ship, the "stationary observer" (which, by the way, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Using this formula someone else posted: T = t/(sqrt(1-(v/C)^2)) The amount of time experienced by the twin that stays behind would be 26.67 Years. This sounds right. The longer he was gone, and/or the closer to the speed of light (C) that he (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)

| This is a shot in the dark, but since this is my favorite site of toy-playing adults, I was wondering if anyone knew of good playmobil fan sites or databases of sets apart from the official site? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Jonathan (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Hi, let's do some math. IIRC T = t/(sqrt(1 - (v/c)^2) where T: time elpased for stationery observer t: time elapsed for moving observer v: velocity of moving observer c: speed of light assuming minimal acceleration. T = 11.5 yrs. Experiments (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)
