The Twin Paradox Analogy in Classical Physics

Authors: Vadim N. Matveev, Oleg V. Matvejev

The article simulates Twin Paradox by means of floating boats. The boats are fitted with a pendulum clock and instruments activated by signals generated by this clock (in time with this clock). The function of the clock pendulum is performed by a high-speed shuttle continuously moving along a vertical (relative to the boat) line between the boat and the bottom. The article demonstrates, that even if two boats are sailing side by side at a speed v relative to the water, then one of them halts, waits for a while and then catches up with the boat sailing ahead, the instruments on the non-inertial boat grew less "old" than on the inertial one.
