SR Time dilation details

[L Drago]

TL;DR Summary

time dilation if we go at incredibly high speeds clock ticks normally for us but very much time passes on Earth and when we return we have time travelled to future.

Dilated time = Actual time / Square root of 1 - (v²/c²)

Please clear any misunderstanding I have and if I am correct, kindly give me some more details and depth of SR time dilation which I am missing.

That's not time dilation. That's differential ageing. Velocity-based time dilation is symmetric. Inertial velocity is relative. A clock on Earth is measured to run slow in the reference frame of a high-speed rocket; in exactly the same way as a clock on the rocket is measured to run slow in the Earth's reference frame.

It's time you started working through Morin (or an alternative textbook) systematically.

At the moment, you are piling up half-truths and misconceptions.

It's a good resource, but I've always thought that the Twin Paradox is a bad place to start with SR. It's far better to learn the basics of SR first and then the Twin Paradox is simply not a paradox at all.

I wouldn’t call one of these “actual time”. They are both times measured on functioning clocks. They are each equally valid times.

If you and I both drive from Miami to New York, but you drive through Denver and I drive through Washington DC, then our odometers will have different readings. They will both accurately report a different distance because we in fact traveled different distances.

That is what is happening here. A clock measures the length of a path through spacetime. Different paths have different lengths.

This.

@L Drago for about the 4th time now I again urge you to STOP with the pop-sci crap that you have filled your head with and start reading some actual science. I have also already suggest that you learn the difference between time dilation and differential aging.

You have come to the right place to learn some actual physics so it puzzles me that you, over and over again, ignore what we are telling you.

Okay my apologies now I will read actual physics
