Re: Langevin's paradox again

 Actually I have not read Langvin's paper, but a paper about Langvin's paradox:
"Langevin's twin paradox and the forwards and backwards movement of a rotating cylinder experiment"
 https://hal.science/hal-01003084v1
 So, possibly, there is a difference between the origional and the quote.
 

This is where the paradox lies.

 I personally think, that velocity is irrelevant for 'time-dilation', while acceleration is not.
 So I have problems with the 'twin paradox' per se.

Everyone has problems with the Langevin paradox, since for 120 years, no one (except Doctor Hachel) has ever succeeded in explaining it and showing that the theory of special relativity well explained (and not by the physics teachers who teach Minkowski space-time) is simple, coherent and logical.
So everyone starts saying anything, explaining anything, and behaving in any way.
We arrive at a problem which is more of a religious nature than a scientific one, and it is simply incredible. “We don’t want this man to rule over us.”
Scientifically, what is happening is simply incredible.
