[edit] Welcome to the Land of Confusion
I speak English and German, whichever suits you. If absolutely necessary, I can translate French, Spanish and Italian into something I understand, don't expect replies in these languages, though.
In the years to come, expect contributions in these areas:
- paradoxes in general
- Twin paradox
- relativity
- philosophy of space and time
- Sorites paradox
- philosophy of language and fundations of logic
- astrophysics (stellar/planetary atmospheres, magnetic fields, Tired light)
- static/equilibrium cosmology
- Artificial consciousness
- Artificial intelligence
- some fan crud ;)
[edit] The Twin Paradox
I'm working on an authoritative review and comprehensive bibliography (English and German publications, there are many more in other languages) of the twin paradox. Recently (February 2008), the bibliography has crossed the 1000-item barrier. I expect to add at least several hundred more, possibly ending up with more than 2000 citations. Even after considerable pruning, the end result should dwarf the bibliographies of Marder, Arzeliés and Benton (200-300 each). I have collected electronic copies for 350+ citations so far.
I will currently not engage in major edits of the article, as I have my own solution of the paradox and intend to publish it together with the finished review. But if you need facts checked about the twin paradox (literature), or want a copy of a hard-to-get source, don't hesitate to contact me.
If you have twin paradox citations/abstracts/reviews/translations/bibliographies/copies of sources, especially in languages other than English and German, please share them, I can use any help I get. ;)
