Symmetric twin paradox for free-falling frames: Argument against the relativistic time dilation?
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The twin paradox, a classical puzzle in Special Relativity (SR), is typically resolved by acknowledging the asymmetry introduced by the acceleration of one twin's frame, associated with a rocket's motion through space. A similar paradox arises without any accelerated system, involving three or more inertial systems. This is commonly resolved by employing the relativistic concepts of clock synchronization and simultaneity. Here, we reformulate the paradox for two free-falling systems, where the twins traverse identical circular orbits in opposite directions around a central mass with a spherically symmetric gravitational field. This redefined version of the paradox eliminates asymmetry inherent in the original problem. Since both frames are free-falling, they can be viewed as locally inertial according to Einstein's Equivalence Principle. Additionally, no synchronization with clocks in other frames is needed. We explore a potential resolution to the paradox and highlight that there may be a misinterpretation of the Lorentz transformation in SR.
