Hello.
I am having a conversation with some friends about time bending phenomena and other such things as the Twin 'Paradox' and the debate whether or not returning to earth during a space voyage would cause you to rapidlt age/keep up with the time on earth, or if you leave, and come back time would, in fact, have passed differently.
The following is the end of the text chain with which her new found information is brought up, followed by my reply.
Ok so
The acceleration change turning around and going back to earth
Causes special relativity not to apply
So they catch up in age when they turn around
That doesn't make sense to me. You would still exist separately from our time-space, having felt no effects from it until you return. In order to age to catch up with us, you would have to still be effected by it the entire time, thereby nulifying everything calculated in our problem
Would anyone like to elaborate, expand, or otherwise discuss this?
