One thing that I tried as I might but couldn't find
the solve. The problem is Twin Paradox. According to the theory of relativity,
as u approach the speed of light time slows down. So let's consider two twin
brother. One is gonna stay on earth, n other's gonna travel a 20light years
straight path by a very high speedy rocket. Now consider we measure the time
that he took to finish his journey is 25years. so according to the bro who is
on earth would measure that his twin completes the journey taking 25years time
to reach 20LY. But he would notice that the other bro who is in the rocket, his
time is running slowly, so suppose the 1st brother thinks that when his brother
completes his journey it will take 5years for him to reach there. Now if we
asked the 2nd brother he will say, "yes, it took 5years for me n not
25years to reach there, cz the length had shortened." so it means that the
two brothers conclusion/results r the same although their definition r
radically different. Now consider the 2nd brother is returning to earth with
the same speed. so according to him it will take 5+5=10years to return to the
earth. But according to the 1st brother, it took 50years. now my question to u
guys that I couldn't find, according to relativity, the brother in the rocket
would never know whether his rocket is moving. He would think that he is
standing still n it is the rest of the universe which is moving. so in his
perspective, time on his ship is flowing normally, n time on universe is
running slower. so to him, time on earth is passing slowly. So hee would expect
that when he will return to earth his brother on earth would be younger. n he
would be older. But reality is the opposite. When he returns, he would notice
that his brother on earth is older n he is younger. But according to
relativity, both should agree on the result but their definition would be
different. So to 1st brother, his brother is younger cz when he was in ship his
time was passing slowly. The 2nd brother would be agree with the result, but
what will be his Definition? What would happen to him that he would know that
when he returns to the earth he would bee younger, not his brother on earth? n
why?
