Abstract

Reassert the twin paradox in a new light, leading to the conclusion that the theory of relativity is inconsistent with the physical reality. Symmetric clocks paradox using two clocks in a special setup, in which both clocks are in inertial movement on the entire duration of experiment. 1 The Clocks Paradox The clocks paradox also known as the twins paradox is a direct consequence of the symmetry of the relativity principle in the context of constant light speed principle. One consequence of special relativity, among others, is the time dilation witch imply that in a relative moving inertial frame with respect to a reference frame, the coordinate time intervals become larger compared with the proper time intervals in the moving frame and consequently the clocks run slower than the clocks from the reference frame. The theory of relativity claim that this is a real physical effect which affect the proper time of the relative moving system compared with the proper time of the reference system which is equal with the coordinate time. Also a number of experiments seem to indicate that this is a real effect. In consequence a relation between the proper time intervals counted by two clocks in relative movement to each other must exist and this relation must be consistent in any valid analysis of special relativity, from any valid inertial frame. The root of the problem is that while relativity principle is active, we cannot have a sense of which is in motion, instead any group of inertial systems can be considered in motion relative to each other. Is not dificult to see that this situation will lead to inconsistent predictions.
