Sagittarius A-Star said:And because they were born at different places, it is not invariant, if they were born at the "same time".
Nugatory said:When you inserted that additional "from the point of view" qualifier you redefined "same age" so that it is frame-dependent and no longer has any physical significance,
robphy said:For distinct spacelike-separated events A1 and B1 ,
not all observers will regard A1 and B1 as simultaneous
PeroK said:This process of continually updating one's knowledge of a subject is called learning. It's the opposite of religiously adhering to an established view in the face of evidence to the contrary.
Dale said:This is a frame variant concept.
From the point of view of reference system B, event a is simultaneous with event a' and event b is simultaneous with event b'.Dale said:τ=∫abdτ is invariant only if a and b are.
Does an invariant proper time elapse for a mass point B moving - from the point of view of reference system B - on a straight world line on the time axis from event a to event b?
Does no invariant proper time elapse for a mass point B' moving - from the point of view of reference system B - on a straight world line parallel to the time axis from event a' to event b'?
Does this have to do with the fact that the events a and a' and the events b and b' occur simultaneously from the point of view of the reference system B, but not from the point of view of other reference systems?
