The Twin Paradox and its resolution
Lecture in English
Boris Lohner (Munich Public Observatory)
TUESDAY, 12 March 2024, 7 p.m.
Venue: Volkssternwarte (Munich Public Observatory), Rosenheimer Str. 145h, 81671 München
Explanations of the twin paradox sometimes give the impression that special relativity is defective and that this „defect“ requires general relativity to be „repaired“ – or give the impression that time dilation is not real but a mere effect of observation. In this talk it is shown how the twin paradox can be resolved in a consistent way while staying within special relativity.
If skies are clear, guests are invited to visit the rooftop observatory after the talk.
