    Revisiting the Definition of Speed: Is Distance/Time Arbitrary?

    This is not the bone I'm picking at. I guess I'm looking for details at the fundamental level.

    Revisiting the Definition of Speed: Is Distance/Time Arbitrary?

    Because the twin returning would appear as if a magic trick took place. Sr only tells you that the twin comes back younger than the twin that stayed. You can quantify by how much this will happen, but not how this will happen. The reason from my estimates is that to do so, would require the...

    Revisiting the Definition of Speed: Is Distance/Time Arbitrary?

    Ok the speed of light and the law of physics are the same in all inertial frames, but obviously this falls way short as to why the traveling twin comes back chipper as the day he left, while the stationary twin is having problems with irregularity. Have there been any attempts to quantify this...

    Revisiting the Definition of Speed: Is Distance/Time Arbitrary?

    I'm thinking there must be some mechanical reason for this. Otherwise this cannot be explianed through physics.

    Revisiting the Definition of Speed: Is Distance/Time Arbitrary?

    World line? There is no mechanical reasoning here?

    Revisiting the Definition of Speed: Is Distance/Time Arbitrary?

    In other words - Why would someone taking a journey from (a) to (b) at very close to the speed of C and returning back to (a) at very close to the speed of C, with a travel distance of 20 light years be younger than the person that stays at A by 20 years? Why does the traveler not age? What...

    Revisiting the Definition of Speed: Is Distance/Time Arbitrary?

    Perhaps Chroot would like to explain the why of it all. Why doesn't the captain notice any difference? Why does the person on Earth notice a difference?

    Can We Experience Time Beyond the Present Moment?

    I would point out that in our universe there are only ones...one at a time, where time is the nothing ones are composed of. Time exist, but only by conceptual means.

    Can Everything be Reduced to Pure Physics?

    I can equally say this if someone says that reality is physical. The evidence is everywhere apparent. If all of reality is conceptual - How can you miss it? What evidence is there for physical reality that can't also be explained by conceptual means?

    Can Everything be Reduced to Pure Physics?

    I'll chime in once again to say that physical reality is a misdiagnosis. All things thought to be physical, are in reality conceptual entities. That is to say that the Earth is not a physical entity, nor is any other thing that comes to mind. The universe is a purely conceptual entity completely...

    Can Something That Doesn't Exist Exist? The Paradox of Non-Existence

    Never said that empty space didn't have properties. I said that it's constituents were composed of nothing - As in the kind of nothing that has no properties. It is the form of a component that has the properties, and those properties are not physical. Same could be said for what we term mass...

    Can Something That Doesn't Exist Exist? The Paradox of Non-Existence

    I cannot prove that nothing exist by physical means. Mostly because your Existence is not physical either. This can only be done by conceptual means. That is to say that Existence is a conceptual entity. It is space-time, which is no more than a form of nothing. It is an extension of what we...

    Can Something That Doesn't Exist Exist? The Paradox of Non-Existence

    I love this kind of thread. I'm one of those people that cottons to the idea that nothing exists. How else would one get something from nothing?

    Is Our Existence Merely Physical?

    Would you term a geometric object of nothing as being a physical entity? I would term this as a purely conceptual entity.
