So if I walk to the fridge and back, I've actually watched slightly less of the kino then my girlfriend who stayed stationary on the couch the whole time since she's aged more?

Didn't you just make this thread? Got blow out too hard and had to make another?

I think this was on /tv and they didn't make enough TV references for the jannies.

People are a quantum entity that exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties.
Watching TV, you enter a wave-like state. But getting up to go to the fridge it would affect the wave-like state with local particle infusion (because there is not much space) and increase time for the person.

If you and your gf are watching Fellowship of the Ring (theatrical cut) and you hop into a spaceship and fly out to Jupiter and back at an average speed of 0.6c, when you get back she’ll be at “Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee” and you’ll be at “You shall not pass!”

These ‘extreme’ cases, are getting out of hand.

>he’s never had to pop out to Jupiter and back real quick while watching Lord of the Rings.
Seriously? We’ve like all been there, man? Maybe you’re just weird.

Speed related time dilation is for beta pussies. I'm a 6'6" sigma so my face is further from the center of mass of the Earth than yours and will stay young forever. Gravitational time dilation is based.

I am only 3'8 but I own one of these, thus I am actually far above in the sky. You likely are too tall for this ride, max weight is 95kg which is average weight for that stature. But even if you are particularly skinny, you are still going to see huge reduction in battery life and thus flight time. Airborne dwarfs and children are the (warranted) masters of tomorrow

The difference in gravitational time dilation between your feet and your head is about 10^-15 seconds per second.

That's about the same amount of time dilation I get from taking a walk.

that sounds like a lot, thanks for proving my point

>>16953110
A lot? That's about 10 microseconds in total over the average lifetime. Good luck noticing that.

You've watched slightly less because you missed a bit while you were travelling to and from the fridge

No, let me explain the trick to you
>A and B are transmitting a signal to eachother
>B starts travelling away from A
>both experience wavelength stretching relative to eachother so both "clocks" will appear to tick slower
>B reaches destination, turns around
>Signal is still transmitting from A to B but the signal that B has turned around and is coming back now has to travel the entire distance between A and B
>B travels back at a relativistic speed and appears to arrive earlier than they should due to wavelength contraction
And that's where the little time difference comes in, there's no physical "aging" happening, locally time keeps moving at the same rate for both observers, it is only the measurements they take about the opposite party that will differ, it's nothing more than a relativistic effect, an optical illusion if you will

Okay so why are their clocks out of sync when the second twin returns if it's only an illusion?
>>
>>16953174
Because for one to return they have to turn around and that requires acceleration. Velocity is relative but acceleration is not.
>>
>>16953174
Because to measure a clock you first have to observe it, the information about the clock on Earth will always be available to B, both when leaving and returning, just that when leaving the clock on Earth appears to slow down when moving away and speeds up again when you return until normalized, but when measuring the clock on the spaceship from Earth it will appear to tick slower as it's moving away and when it starts to come back it will still tick slower at first, since the information about the return has to first reach Earth, the discrepancy isn't in the clocks themselves, both will actually read the same time when reunited, the discrepancy comes from the apparent measured difference between two observers due to the information delay between them.

How do you explain the Hafele-Keating experiment?

nope

Damaged maybe but
not matured of the spirit

yes
>since she's aged more?
no, since you walked away
