Time 'betwins'
摘要
Discussions on the Langevin Twins 'paradox' are most often based on a "triangular" diagram which outlines the twins spacetime travels. It won't be our way, avoiding what we think to be a problem at the basis of numerous controversies. Our approach relies on a fundamentally different Equivalence Principle, namely the so-called "Punctual Equivalence Principle", from which we think that a very conformal aspect proceeds. We present a resolution of this paradox in the framework of the so-called "scale gravity". This resolution hinges on a clear determinism of the Twins proper times, in some definite situations, and a fundamental under-determinism in some other particular ones, the physical discrimination of which being achieved out of a precise mathematical description of conformal geometry. Moreover, we find that the time discrepancy between the twins, could somehow be at the root expression of the second fundamental law of thermodynamics.
