One More Time About Relativity…

Posted on by armenhov

I just thought that my long explanation in these 7 posts, including the summary, might be a bit confusing; so I’m making another attempt to seal it with even terser summary. Here it is:

The illusion of time dilation is nothing more than Doppler effect: if two observers are moving away from each other, each of them will see the events from the other observer as happening slower, when they turn around and start moving to each other, the events/time of the other observer will seem to happen faster, and when they meet their theoretically precise clocks (not the atomic clocks also affected by the doppler effect – don’t start again on that “evidence” of time dilation) will show exactly the same time.

That’s all I wanted to say. It was good to get that out of my chest…

Getting Older

Posted on by armenhov

You know, I used to write poetry many years ago. Perhaps one day I’ll publish some of that old crap here. But time to time I feel the urge to write again and some lines are coming to my head now and then, which I never write down. So few years ago, I had some lines in my head, and it has something like: “… There still will be another dance, another song, another thrill…” and more in that vein. I no longer remember that one, but, some new lines are starting to emerge by themselves, and they contain things like “… Never again…” and “… won’t feel the thrill…”. I guess, this is just another symptom of getting old.
