Re: Paradox within a paradox
I dare not comment on this without reviewing the issues. But isn't it UNIFORM motion that is always discussed in time dialation?
​
The one ship has to go in a straight line out and back. I don't think going out in a big ellipse or turn around is used as and example of time dialation.
​
Isn't it uniform motion in relation to some reference point ?
