The Russian Air Force has decided to upgrade existing aircraft rather than buy new ones due to its limited funding. About seven Su-27UBs will be modernized each year to give them a guided weapons capability. This upgrade, developed by IAPO, will provide an improved synthetic aperture radar, upgraded avionics, and color multi-function displays. Many of the elements of the upgrade come from the Su-30 program. About seven Su-30Ks each year will be upgraded to Su-30KNs. About seven Mi-8 transport and the same number of Mi-24 attack helicopters will be upgraded each year to provide the pilots with night vision equipment. The Russians expect to upgrade about 70 aircraft per year (including the above) with various improvements.--Stephen V Cole

You maniacs! You blew it up!
I [like] every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z.
Their noses are so…textured
OK, I'm unsettled. Trying. Not. To. Anthropomorphize….
They all look so individual.
No kidding! Especially the gorillas.
I wonder how much of it is that we are so closely related that we are attuned to the kinds of differences.
Granted, less social animals don't need to be so easily recognizable, and many animals like dogs probably do it more by scent. But penguins, among other social birds, seem to be able to immediately recognize each other, and birds are as visually dominant as primates. I wonder if we all look as much the same to them as they look to us.
But the distinctions we make in detecting emotional responses are not necessarily of significance for them. How do we know that they see each other as we see them? Hard not to anthropomorphize…
I meant simply identifying individuals, and nothing beyond that. But inferring emotions is also an interesting question.
How do you know that I'm not a robot?
I never claimed to know that you were not a robot. But I trust you.
I'd imagine this reaction happens because their faces are arranged so similarly to ours and seem to have the same capability of the same expressions. So yes, because they are related to us :)
But also because of familiarity. Having worked with dogs for a while, I can instantly tell them apart easily, and also understand their expressions (which is mostly body language in dogs).
"To endow animals with human emotions has long been a scientific taboo. But if we do not, we risk missing something fundamental, about both animals and us." ~ Frans de Waal
It might be argued they are our genetic cousins; certainly worthy of our consideration and protection.
It always struck me that if only the great apes had white sclera (the 'whites of eye' were white) then folks would be less able to deny the close connection. but i'm probably being too optimistic; sure seems obvious …to me. (i've got one uncle that looks less human than some of those photos)
It appears that some of the orangutans have the white sclera.
i think anthropomorphizing is ok. for me, there's a difference between projecting a personality onto an animal and turning it into an extension of yourself and acknowledging that apes (or whatever animal) feel pain, they have families, social order, etc.
The word "anthropomorphise" grants far too much value to the uniqueness of our experiences and behaviours. We're animals and act like it.
I agree – it's the act of anthropomorphising that overstates our uniqueness. Applying a human frame to these facial expressions won't work, but it's really hard to see "familiar" expressions and not assume "he's a bit glum/angry/miffed".
There's a few expressions which have different meanings though – we tend not to rip each other's faces off if we are smiled at.
Go for it. Anthropomorphize. It's safe to.
Apes are Simians (higher primates) or Old World anthropoid mammals from the superfamily Hominoidea.
Like us.
So why wouldn't we?
It's the second from the top right who nicked my wallet in Soho last night, I'm sure. And the bottom right is definitely a cheerful chappy teenager, such an innocent look. (edit: I don't know my top from the bottom and left from right)
I would be very curious to see if what I assume about their personality from their expression matches with their actions.
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me.
It would be interesting to see how closely their faces align with the Marquardt Beauty Mask, and if the proportions of the Golden Mean had any part in how and why the evolutionary branches lead to where they are.
'orphans of the bush meat trade and live pet trade'
ugh. absolutely disgusting.
orphans of the bush meat trade and live pet trade
In before, "The obama meat trade is no better!!!"
The one on the bottom right, puts the fear of Gaia into me.
The one above him is Bi-Curious George.
Batman impostor.
The 2nd one from the top right is self-aware.
So which one is Roddy McDowell?
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! (or aunt as my case would be)

Alan collaborated with composer George Fenton on Hymn, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Medici Quartet.
After years of remaining tightlipped about his sexuality he came out, and revealed he was living with Rupert Thomas, editor for World of Interiors magazine.
In 1997 Alan had surgery and treatment for colon cancer, but he did not reveal it publicly until 2005, as he believed it to be a 'bore'.
Alan has published two volumes of diaries and essays: Writing Home and Untold Stories.

Alan: I don't claim to know how higher education should be paid for; all I know is that it's morally wrong to expect students to get into debt. I voted for Labour because of this and feel let down. The party has betrayed itself and it will be viewed by history as a mistake.
(on how others see him)
Alan: People have a notion of you, and it's all right. You know, they have a notion of me being this cosy, northern creature, cup-of-tea and all that stuff. That's all right, it doesn't bother me most of the time. Sometimes it's smothering, and you don't want to be in that box. But the older you get, the less you care, really.
(on allowing a woman to live in his garden in her car for 15 years)
Alan: ... allow isn't quite the word. I was just faced with her - it was like Eleanor Roosevelt moving in! I just got used to it. I know this sounds odiously modest, but I don't think it needed much goodness. It's more laziness. Just as you can do harm by being lazy, you can do some good as well.

13 Outrageous Diva Demands — Mariah Carey, Jay Z, Kanye West, and More (PHOTOS)
Beyonce added power to the word "diva" in her 2009 hit song — defining it as the "female version of a hustler." But the following stars, both male and female, have a tendency to go a bit overboard with their star status (ahem, Mariah Carey).
PHOTOS: Anne Hathaway Sent Back Her Breakfast Four Times? 8 Other Famous Divas
From police escorts to pristine toilet seats, these celebs hold their surroundings to a higher standard than one might consider reasonable. Here are 13 of showbiz's most notorious divas and their craziest demands.
Jay Z
Was Bey's "Diva" song about her hubby? TMZ claims Hova demands there be no vacuuming around his dressing room, requests for concert tickets to "avoid embarrassment," allows no sharp corners or uncovered electrictrical outlets in the room (for Blue's sake). OK, not so bad — at least not as bad as his Watch the Throne collaborator…
Kanye West
TMZ also says Yeezy demands cylindrical vases — none of that cubical nonsense — and a Genelecs 1031 speaker that was discontinued a decade ago. Good luck with that, mortals!
Justin Bieber
Thanks to TMZ, we've seen scans of the "Sorry" singer's photo shoot rider — the contract that photographers have to sign before the Biebs will even set his precious foot in your studio. Some requests:
Herbal tea, deli meats, veggies, Swedish Fish, and Ritz Bits (in both cheese and peanut butter varieties)
No Selena Gomez music! Apparently someone's still a little sore about their on-again, off-again romance...
The most ridiculous of them all: no speaking directly to Justin Bieber. Which we imagine makes photoshoots take forever.
VIDEOS: 5 Justin Bieber Temper Tantrums — Including That Today Show Outburst
Mariah Carey
While the Grammy-winning diva certainly has the pipes and resume to back up the title — she holds the record for most no. 1 singles by a female recording artist — does Mariah's Billboard status justify her outrageous demands?
For example, reports surfaced around 2009 claiming she wanted 20 white kittens and 100 white doves to be released while she turned on Christmas lights at Westfield London Shopping Centre. (The request was denied.)
Christina Aguilera
During her heyday, Xtina's contract rider demanded items like Flintstones vitamins, Oreo cookies, soy cheese… and a police escort to route her car through any potential traffic delays. Because, obviously, no diva should have to endure the utter agony of a red light.
Jennifer Lopez
According to Perez Hilton, J.Lo's demands have skyrocketed in recent years. At the 2010 American Music Awards, the former American Idol judge demanded a custom-fitted ferry — complete with faux leather seats, a champagne fridge, and a pair of diamond-encrusted headphones — to usher her from Cannes to Monaco. (But seriously, guys, she's still Jenny from the block.)
Selena Gomez
This "Good For You" songstress's demands, if the rumors are true, have been motivated by something different: heartbreak. A report from Hollywood Life says Selena spent her whole March 2014 Adidas Neo commercial shoot in breakup mode after splitting from Justin Bieber (again) and banned the name "Justin" from being said on-set. It's a pretty common name, so a few crew members reportedly had to go by a different name for a while.
Lady Gaga
From "a mannequin with puffy pink pubic hair" to 28 bottles of water at room temperature and 28 cold, Mother Monster's requests (via Celebuzz) run the gamut from totally bizarre to oddly specific. But what else can you expect from someone who looks at raw meat and sees formal wear?
Katy Perry
According to The Smoking Gun, this "Roar" star's backstage dream suite includes "two cream-colored egg chairs, one of which should have a footstool," as well as a refrigerator with a glass door.
The "Wide Awake" singer is also firmly anti-carnation. "ABSOLUTELY NO CARNATIONS," her rider specifies.
NEWS: Russell Brand Calls Katy Perry "Vapid" in Brand: A Second Coming
While Queen Bey's camp denies them, rumors abounded about her rider for her Mrs. Carter Tour. A source apparently told the Daily Star about her alleged list of demands, including:
All crew members have to wear 100 percent cotton.
Alkaline water must be chilled to 21 degrees and served with $900 titanium straws.
Bathrooms must have new toilet seats and red toilet paper at every venue.
- Hand-carved ice balls should be made after each show to cool her throat.
This Rebel Heart singer is the Queen of Pop, so it's only fitting she would demand her very own throne while on tour. According to the Daily Mail, Madge requires a brand new toilet seat at every show, in addition to dozens of white roses and candles to protect from "negative glances and mean-spiritedness."
Perhaps even more shocking is Madonna's request to ban air conditioning in every venue to protect her vocal chords. Fans who flocked to see her Confessions World Tour in London in 2006 began fainting as temps inside the arena hit the 90-degree mark.
Kris Jenner
This Kardashian matriarch tried to play the celebrity card to bypass ordinary people — you know, us mere commoners — while waiting in line for an iPhone 5 at an Apple Store in Los Angeles, reports Radar Online.
Rebuffed by the managers, Kris sent her assistant on the fool's errand anyway. Guards keeping order among the throngs of Apple devotees simply told the gofer to get in line.
Tom Cruise
The Sun reports that, while touring the Adriatic Sea in his luxury yacht, the Mission Impossible leading man stopped in the port of Kotor and asked the manager of the five-star Forza Mare to clear out the 10-room boutique hotel so that he could spend quality solo time with his dinner. The manager balked at the request — and rightly so — so a disgruntled Tom had a seafood spread delivered to his yacht instead.

AbstractWe propose to demonstrate a"Tracking with Planning"module for tracking objects in a highly cluttered environment from a moving platform. This system is designed to track objects with multiple long occlusions, by anticipating where and how the objects might move. The main innovations are 1) actively anticipating objects'goals and intentions, 2) using motion planning to create multiple plausible predictions on objects'trajectories, and 3) online learning of visual features for discriminating similar nearby objects. In phase 1 we have demonstrated that the"Tracking with Planning"approach can overcome many problems associated with traditional tracking algorithms, such as drifting into background after multiple occlusions. We improved the tracking precision from 56% using Kalman filter to 87% using"Tracking with Planning."In phase 2 we propose to develop an active goal prediction system with multiple path generation. We plan to integrate bottom-up information from tracking and contextual visual information with top-down planning-based reasoning to create a robust tracking system. We can adapt our modular design to different operating environments from outdoor urban environments to indoor office settings. We plan to evaluate this system on a mobile ground platform as well as a simulated unmanned helicopter in preparation for flights on a tactical autonomous helicopter.

Please will someone explain what time dilation really is and how it occurs. There are lots of questions and answers going into how to calculate time dilation, but none that give an intuitive feel for how it happens.
This answer will use ideas discussed in the answers to What is time, does it flow, and if so what defines its direction? so you really need to read the answers to that question before tackling this one.
The key concept you need in order to understand time dilation is that a clock does not measure the flow of time - time doesn't flow in relativity (see the What is time question for more on this). A clock measures distances. To explain what I mean I'll use the analogy of the odometer in your car. If you start at some point $A$ and drive to some point $B$ then the odometer tells you how far in space you've moved. So the change in the odometer reading is the distance in space $A-B$ measured along the route you took. The clock in your car measures the distance in time between the spacetime points $A$ and $B$ i.e. the change in the clock measures the number of seconds between you leaving point $A$ and arriving at point $B$, and the number of seconds is also measured along the route you took in spacetime. This last point matters, because as we'll see the distance in time you move depends on your route, just like the distance in space moved.
The reason we have to treat time as a distance is because in relativity there isn't a hard and fast distinction between time and space. You may split spacetime into three spatial dimensions and one time dimension, but a different observer might make this split in a different way and the two of you wouldn't agree on what was time and what was space. In relativity we have to treat the time dimension just like the space dimensions. It is just a coordinate running from (in principle) $-\infty$ to $\infty$ just like the $x$, $y$ and $z$ coordinates run from $-\infty$ to $\infty$. See the What is time question for more on this.
The point of all this is that it gives us a very specific definition of time dilation. If two different observers measure the distance between two spacetime points $A$ and $B$ then this distance will be a four-vector with time and spatial components. Time dilation simply means that different observers will disagree on the magnitude of the time component of this distance i.e. they will observe a different amount of time between the two points.
An example of time dilation
To explain why this happens let's take a specific example. Suppose I am watching you moving, then in my coordinates your trajectory is a line in spacetime. Because I can't draw four dimensional graphs let's assume you're only moving along the $x$ axis so all I have to draw is your trajectory in $x$ and time. Suppose your trajectory looks like this:
Figure 1
So we both start at the point $A$. Because I am stationary in these coordinates my trajectory is straight up the time axis to $B$, while your trajectory (the red line) heads off to increasing $x$, then stops, turns round and comes back to my position. The distance I have moved in time is just the distance straight up the time axis from $A$ to $B$ - we'll call this distance $t_{ab}$. The distance you have moved in time is, well, let's see how to calculate that.
Figure 1 shows what happens in my coordinate system, but now let's draw the same diagram in your coordinate system i.e. the coordinates in which you remain stationary at the origin and I move:
Figure 2
In your coordinates it's me that moves (shown by the black line) and you remain stationary, so in your coordinates your trajectory (the red line) is straight up the time axis and the distance you move is just the distance in time between $A$ and $B$. We'll call this distance $\tau_{ab}$.
Now this is the point where things get strange, but actually it's the only point where things get strange so if you can get past this point you're home. The distance $\tau_{ab}$ in figure 2 has a special significance in relativity. It's called the proper time, and it's a fundamental principle in relativity that the proper time is an invariant. This means the proper time is the same for all observers, and specifically it the same for both you and me. This means that - and here's the key point:
The length of the red line is the same in both figure 1 and figure 2
Let's go back to figure 1 for a moment and see why this means there must be time dilation:
Figure 3
The length of my line from $A$ to $B$, $t_{ab}$, is obviously different from the length of the red line from $A$ to $B$, $\tau_{ab}$. But we've already agreed that the length of the red line is the time you measure between the two points, and that means the time I measure between $A$ and $B$ is different from the time you measure between $A$ and $B$:
$$ t_{ab} \ne \tau_{ab} $$
And that's what we mean by time dilation.
If my aim was to give an intuitive idea of how time dilation arises then I've probably failed because it is far from intuitively obvious why the length of the red line should be the same in figure 1 and figure 2. But at least I've narrowed it down to one unintuitive step, and if you're prepared to accept this then the rest follows in a straightforward way. To make this quantitative, and explain exactly what I mean by the length of the red line, we need to get stuck into some maths.
And now some maths
The situation I've drawn in figures 1 and 2 is actually somewhat complicated because it involves acceleration i.e. you speed away from me, decelerate to a halt then accelerate back towards me. To get started we'll use the simpler case where you just head off at constant velocity and don't accelerate. Our two spacetime diagrams look like this:
Figure 4
In my frame you are travelling at velocity $v$, so after some time $t$ measured on my clock your position is $(t, vt)$. In your frame your are stationary, so after some time $T$ measured on your clock your position is $(T, 0)$. And remember we said that the length of the red line must be the same for both you and me.
To calculate the length of the red line we use a function called the metric. You probably remember being taught Pythagoras' theorem at school. Which tells you for the right angled triangle:
the length of the hypotenuse is given by:
$$ s^2 = a^2 + b^2 $$
This equation tells one how to measure total (that is, in this case diagonal) distances, given the displacements in each coordinate direction. That is precisely the information contained in a metric: It tells you how to measure distances. The above equation does this by giving an explicit formula for the length of a line, resulting from coordinate displacements in the horizontal and vertical directions (let's call those $x$ and $y$). Now, one can of course also think about infinitesimal (infinitely small, in a limiting sense) distances. The formula then simply becomes
$$ \mathrm ds^2=\mathrm dx^2+\mathrm dy^2$$
This is called the line element for two-dimensional Euclidean space, and it encodes the corresponding (Euclidean) metric. For special relativity we need to extend this idea to include all three spatial dimensions plus time. There are various ways to write the line element for special relativity and for the purposes of this article I'm going to write it as:
$$ \mathrm ds^2 = - c^2\mathrm dt^2 + \mathrm dx^2 + \mathrm dy^2 +\mathrm dz^2 $$
where $\mathrm dt$ is the distance moved in time and $\mathrm dx$ etc are the distances moved in space.
This equation encodes the Minkowski metric and the quantity $\mathrm ds$ is called the proper distance. It looks a bit like Pythagoras' theorem but note that we can't just add time to distance because they have different units - seconds and metres - so we multiply time by the speed of light $c$ so the product $ct$ has units of metres. Also note that we give $ct$ a minus sign in the equation - as you'll see, this minus sign is what explains the time dilation. Since we are only considering two dimensions our equation becomes:
$$ \mathrm ds^2 = -c^2\mathrm dt^2 + \mathrm dx^2 $$
OK, let's do the calculation. Since all motion is in a straight line we don't need the infinitesimal line element and instead we can use:
$$ \Delta s^2 = -c^2\Delta t^2 + \Delta x^2 $$
Start in your frame - you don't move in space so $\Delta x = 0$ and you move a distance $\tau$ in time, so $\Delta t = \tau$, giving us:
$$ \Delta s^2 = -c^2 \tau^2 $$
Now let's do the calculation in my frame. In my frame you move a distance in space $\Delta x=vt$ and a distance in time $\Delta t = t$ so the equation for the length of the red line is:
$$ \Delta s^2 = -c^2t^2 + (vt)^2 = -t^2c^2\left(1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}\right) $$
Since the lengths $\Delta s$ are equal in both frames we combine the two equations to get:
$$ -c^2 \tau^2 = -t^2c^2\left(1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}\right) $$
And rearranging gives:
$$ \tau = t\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}} = \frac{t}{\gamma} $$
where $\gamma$ is the Lorentz factor:
$$ \gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} $$
And that's the result we need showing the time dilation. The distance you have moved in time $\tau$ is less than the distance I have moved in time $t$ by a factor of $\gamma$.
Appendix - accelerated motion
I started the main answer with this spacetime diagram:
Figure 1
but then switched to a simpler example when it came to churning through the maths. This is because I didn't want to distract from the main message in my answer, however if anyone is interested I'll explain how we deal with accelerated motion now.
Incidentally, you'll hear people claim that special relativity can't deal with accelerated motion but as you're about to see this is simply not true. The basic principle is the same - the length of the trajectory is the same for all observers. It's just that calculating the length of the trajectory is a bit harder.
The calculation we're going to do is the same as before i.e. I'll calculate the distance from $A$ to $B$ along my trajectory then calculate the distance along your trajectory, and the time dilation will be the difference between them. The distance along my trajectory is obviously just the distance up the time axis, but to for you we have to calculate the length of the red curve.
We do this by splitting up the curve into infinitesimal straight lines:
Figure 2
If we approximate the red curve by a series of straight lines of length $\mathrm ds$ then the total length of the curve, $\Delta s$, will just be the sum of the lengths of all these straight lines. We let the lengths $\mathrm ds$ go to zero and replace the sum by an integral:
$$ \Delta s = \int_A^B \,\mathrm ds \tag{1} $$
And the length $\mathrm ds$ is given by the same equation that we used in the main answer:
$$ ds^2 = -c^2\mathrm dt^2 + \mathrm dx^2 \tag{2} $$
The trick we use is to note that if you move a distance $dx$ in a time $dt$ then your velocity is $v = {\mathrm dx}/{\mathrm dt}$, because that's exactly how we define velocity. Rearranging this gives:
$$ \mathrm dx = v\,\mathrm dt $$
And we can substitute this into equation (2) to get:
$$\mathrm ds^2 = -c^2\mathrm dt^2 + v^2(t) \mathrm dt^2 $$
where $v(t)$ is your velocity as a function of time measured in my frame. Now put this into equation (1) and we get:
$$ \Delta s = -c \int_A^B \, \left(1 - \frac{v(t)^2}{c^2}\right)\, \mathrm dt \tag{3} $$
Finally we note that in your frame the distance you move is still given by the same equation as before:
$$ \mathrm ds^2 = -c^2T^2 $$
And we get:
$$ T_{AB} = \int_A^B \, \sqrt{1 - \frac{v(t)^2}{c^2}}\,\mathrm dt $$
where $T_{AB}$ is the elapsed time measured by your clock.
To do the calculation we need to know the equation for your velocity as a function of time, and this depends on how you accelerate away. Actually doing the sums gets quite complicated quite quickly so I won't go through the detail. However we can see immediately that there is time dilation and you measure less elapsed time than I do.
Whether your velocity $v(t)$ is positive or negative the square, $v^2(t)$ is always positive, and that means the factor in the square root is always less than 1:
$$ 1 - \frac{v(t)^2}{c^2} \lt 1 $$
So we are integrating a function that is always less than one from $t = t_A$ to $t = t_B$ and that means the result must be less than $t_B - t_A$, that is:
$$ T_{AB} \lt t_B - t_A $$
So your elapsed time, $T_{AB}$ is always less than my elapsed time, $t_B - t_A$, not matter how you change your velocity during your round trip.
And by now you should have spotted that this is just the twin paradox in disguise. This shows that the elapsed time for the accelerating twin is always less than the elapsed time for the stationary twin, though there are more details that will have to wait for another post on another day.
Appendix - what did the twin observe?
The more attentive of you might have noticed something I left out of my calculation in the last section of the main answer. I gave this figure showing the spacetime diagrams:
Then I did the calculation of the length of the red line in my frame, and I showed that your elapsed time is less than my elapsed time. All quite correct of course, but hang on, isn't time dilation symmetric? Shouldn't you observe my time to be dilated? Yes indeed, and the purpose of this appendix is to explain what's going on.
If we look at my spacetime diagram we note that you and I didn't end up at the same points. You travelled from $A$ to $B$ while I travelled from $A$ to $C$. In my frame the points $B$ and $C$ are simultaneous i.e. they have the same time coordinate, $t_B = t_C$, and that's why I can claim there is time dilation. My claim is that we both started at the same time $t=t_A$ and we both ended at the same time $t=t_B=t_C$ but our clocks measured different elapsed times while we did it. Hence there must be time dilation.
But my claim that the points $B$ and $C$ are simultaneous is only true in my frame, and in all other frames $B$ and $C$ are not simultaneous. This means different observers will disagree with my calculation of the time dilation, and that's why you and I can both think the other person's time is dilated. Let's see how this works.
I'm going to shortcut a lot of maths and simply tell you that to find where spacetime points are in different frames we use a couple of equations called the Lorentz transformations. These are:
$$\begin{align} t' &= \gamma\left(t - \frac{vx}{c^2}\right) \\ x' &= \gamma\left(x - vt \right) \end{align}$$
Take the point $B$, which in my coordinates is $(t,vt)$. To find the corresponding point $B'$ in your coordinates just plug $t = t$ and $x = vt$ into the equations to get:
$$\begin{align} t' &= \gamma\left(t - \frac{v(vt)}{c^2}\right) = \gamma t \left(1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}\right) = \frac{t}{\gamma} \\ x' &= \gamma\left(vt - vt \right) = 0 \end{align}$$
So in your frame the point $B = (t/\gamma, 0)$. But we already knew this. In your frame you are stationary at the origin so your position $x$ is always zero, and we have already worked out that your elapsed time is $T = t/\gamma$. So the Lorentz tranformations tell us what we already knew, which is just as well really!
But now take the point $C$, which is $(t, 0)$ in my frame, and let's see where it is in your frame. Again, just bung these values for $t$ and $x$ into the Lorentz transformations and we get:
$$\begin{align} t' &= \gamma\left(t - \frac{v\,0}{c^2}\right) = \gamma t \\ x' &= \gamma\left(0 - vt \right) = -\gamma vt \end{align}$$
Let's draw our frames with all these points on them:
So in in my frame the time interval measured on my clock while I move from $A$ to $C$ is $t$, but in your frame the time interval while I move from $A$ to $C$ is the distance $AD$ i.e. it is $\gamma t$. And since $\gamma t \gt t$ you observe my time to be dilated in the same way as I observe your time to be dilated. It's just that we disagree about our start and end points.
Answered by Gennaro Tedesco:
The clock obviously neither slows nor speeds. That is only unfortunate terminology to mean that time intervals depend on the reference frame and different observers in different reference frames may measure different time intervals if in relative motion with respect to each other.
A reduced rate of local motion. See What is time, does it flow, and if so what defines its direction? As Einstein said, time is what clocks measure. And if you take a scientific empirical look at what a clock really does, you will see that it doesn't actually measure the distance in time between the spacetime points A and B. It merely features a vibrating crystal or a rocker or a pendulum, and some kind of gears or electronics to count or translate this regular cyclical local motion to provide some kind of cumulative display. A clock "clocks up" local motion, that's all. And when the clock goes slower it's because that local motion is going slower.
As above, time dilation is a reduced rate of local motion. See On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies where Einstein talked about time:
Now we must bear carefully in mind that a mathematical description of this kind has no physical meaning unless we are quite clear as to what we understand by "time". We have to take into account that all our judgments in which time plays a part are always judgments of simultaneous events. If, for instance, I say, "That train arrives here at 7 o'clock," I mean something like this: "The pointing of the small hand of my watch to 7 and the arrival of the train are simultaneous events".
This operational definition of time is nothing more than the position of the hands, which is just a cumulative version of all the regular cyclical local motion inside the clock. The internal mechanism of a clock isn't called a movement for nothing. Einstein later talked about the "time" required by light to travel from A to B, which nicely relates to the simple inference of time dilation on Wikipedia:
public domain image by Mdd4696
This features light moving in a parallel-mirror light clock. The time is nothing more than the number of times the light has reflected off the mirrors. Time dilation occurs when the ensemble moves fast because the light takes a zigzag path rather than a straight up-and-down path. But if it zoomed across the clear night sky and you could watch it through your gedanken telescope, you'd have to pan to keep it in your field of view. And in that field of view the light beam would appear to move straight up and down, at a slower rate than normal. That's special-relativity time dilation. That's all it is. It's that simple. The Lorentz factor $$\Delta t' = \frac{\Delta t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$$ is simply derived from Pythagoras's theorem, wherein the hypotenuse is the light path, and the base is the speed as a fraction of c. The height gives the Lorentz factor, and we employ a reciprocal to distinguish time dilation from length contraction.
I think the Wikipedia article is good enough for special relativity. It's very simple. The rate of local motion is of necessity reduced by the macroscopic motion through space because the maximum rate of motion is c. This time dilation applies not just to light, but to all material things too, because of the wave nature of matter.
It's also very simple for general relativity. A concentration of energy alters the surrounding space, this effect diminishing with distance, such that parallel-mirror light clocks run slower when they're lower, along with all material processes, again because of the wave nature of matter.
Time dilation is simply the slowing of clocks. It is really the change in time at a velocity relative to a clock at rest as demonstrated in the lorentz transformation. As a simple illustration, imagine that all clocks work on some mass related mainspring. As you go faster and faster the effective mass increases and therefore the period of the clock tick slows down. This not a perfect model but helps draw a more sophisticate image.

MY TURN | Jerry A. Newby
Published: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 at 12:09 a.m.
MONTGOMERY | There are dozens of reasons why Alabamians will vote "no" to Gov. Bob Riley's $1.2 billion tax package Sept. 9, but there are four indisputable facts that should cause even tax proponents to question this plan.
First, the $1.2 billion tax increase is almost twice as much as the governor says he needs to balance the state's budgets. Second, the plan lacks the "fundamental change" and accountability measures the governor said are necessary to move Alabama forward. Third, almost 90 percent of the $1.2 billion tax burden will be borne by individual taxpayers. And finally, there is no guarantee that a single penny from the plan will be spent for the programs the governor says he wants.
The proposed $1.2 billion tax package is the largest in Alabama's history, and many economists say, by the time it is fully implemented, the actual price tag will be more like $2 billion. The size of this package should cause concern among fiscally responsible people. Approving a $1.2 billion tax plan to plug a $675 million budget deficit makes no more sense than taking out a $40,000 second mortgage to pay off $20,000 in credit card debt.
With no budget or spending guidelines, the extra money soon will be gone, and the state will be facing yet another financial/scrisis.
Gov. Riley was elected on a platform of bringing accountability to Montgomery, but this package does nothing to rein in reckless spending by vote-hungry politicians. Gov. Riley campaigned on the necessity of prior-year budgeting, but under his plan state budgets still would be based on optimistic revenue projections. This practice has forced Alabama into proration and economic crisis time and time again. Without prior-year budgeting, the state will continue to live from crisis to crisis ó each time demanding more money from Alabama taxpayers.
Despite what you may have heard, working families will do the heavy lifting on this massive tax hike. You will pay more property tax on your home and land; you will pay more tax when you buy a car or home; you will pay more tax when you lease a vehicle; you will pay more tax when you renew your vehicle license tag; for the first time ever, you will pay sales tax on labor for vehicle and home repairs; and many working-class Alabamians (not just the rich) will pay more state income tax.
Even more disturbing is how this plan opens the door for future tax increases. Only next time, we won't get to vote on them.
Earlier this year, the governor directed the state revenue commissioner to have all property reassessed every year. That means ó even if the tax package is defeated ó Alabamians will see their property tax increase every year. We also could see our property taxes skyrocket if county and municipal governments follow the state's lead in increasing the rate of taxation on homes and farmland from 10 percent to 100 percent. The Riley administration already has admitted the new state sales tax on repairs will be collected at the full local sales tax level of 6 to 10 percent ó not the state sales tax rate of 4 percent. This is a regressive tax that will be most costly to those who can least afford it.
The truth is: None of us will really know how much this plan will cost us until we start taking money out of our wallets. But it surely will be more than even those who oppose the tax package are predicting.
Some of you may be willing to spend more to improve education and state services. The only problem is this plan doesn't provide one penny for scholarships or anything else. It simply creates a $1.2 billion slush fund for the Montgomery politicians to spend as they see fit.
The governor came to Montgomery promising to end waste and corruption. It's hard to believe he accomplished those goals in four short months before he introduced his record-breaking tax increase. Until our elected officials prove they can budget our money wisely, it's inconceivable to expect Alabamians to vote for a billion-dollar tax increase.

From Booklist
Lady Rosalind has one simple request of Armond Wulf, Marquess of Wulfglen and the eldest of infamous brothers: seduce her and leave her in ruin and free of her stepbrother's schemes. Shunned by society, whispered about behind fans, Armond is the perfect disreputable choice, except that he is too honorable to destroy a lady's reputation. In fact, fate forces him to make her an honorable woman. But with one problem solved, another rears its head: talk of madness, a curse, and a monster. Thompson kicks off her Wild Wulfs of London series with an addictive, angst-filled plot that harkens a bit to the melodrama of the gothic. Readers who prefer their preternatural heroes to have fur rather than fangs will savor the tortured soul that is Armond. He may be mad, but he's definitely bad and dangerously sexy. And from the brief glimpse given of his brothers, it runs in the family. Readers, beware of Wulfs: you'll fall for them at first sight. Nina Davis

Armond Wulf and his three brothers were cursed and all had vowed never to marry, rather than unleashing the beast each held within them. From the moment he saw her, Armond's senses were aroused and the self-control he held firmly in check was warring with his body by the sheer presence of the young woman who had boldly approached him. To him she was 'pure sin' packaged deceitfully in the guise of innocence and he was totally ensnared. Her proposal was nothing short of shocking and after one very sensual waltz he was ready to teach her a lesson in not daring to trifle with the dangerous Wild Wulf's she knew nothing about. After giving her a very sensual taste of what passion was all about, Armond stopped himself from letting the beast within him ruin her and returned a very disappointed yet awakened Rosalind to her home.
As events and unsolved murders all began hinting at Armond as the villain responsible, Rosalind, who knew him to be innocent, stepped forward to save him and in the process Armond was compelled to marry her. Rosalind while half in love with the enigmatic man accepted his proposal even though he declared that though they might share a bed - she would never have his love nor his child. It soon became apparent that the self-control Armond prided himself with was fast deteriorating and the desire and feelings for his wife were winning the battle as the beast within showed signs of breaking free, unless Rosalind could decipher the clues to break the curse.
-- This was an absolutely spectacular read and the series `The Wild Wulfs of London' are sure to catapult this authors new paranormal series right up there with the likes of Kenyon and Feehan! Armond was a totally divine and dreamy kind of hero. The author did a fabulous job of depicting a very vivid description of how his body began metamorphosing into the werewolf that sent shivers up my spine. The parallel plot depicting Rosalind's heinous and evil stepbrother added greatly to the dangerous edge-of -the-seat suspense the story took on and kept me turning the pages throughout the night. This well-written tale complete with fascinating characters, an utterly romantic love story, and divine sensuality captivated me from the very beginning to the heart-stopping ending. I highly encourage lovers of paranormal romance to grab a copy of this new series and hang on for it's sure to become a classic!
Armond Wulf is the oldest of four brothers, all tainted with the rumors of madness that supposedly run through their family. Unbenownst to society, thank goodness, their secret is much more forbidden and dark than mere insanity. An ancestor of long ago was cursed by a woman he had thought to have loved, a powerful witch, that curse him and all males of his family that followed with the full moon affliction of the wolf. Determined never to give into the curse, the brothers have vowed never to marry, never to love, certainly never to have children and possibly pass the curse onto any sons. Rosalind Rutherford is a woman in dire straits. Terrified of living under her stepbrother's roof and what plans he may have for her future, she is determined to escape by the only means she knows how - by making sure her reputation is ruined beyond repair. She sees Armond as her ticket to freedom and propositions him at a ball. Thoroughly intrigued by the young woman, Armond wants to help her, but alas is too honorable a man. Once he has met the delectable beauty though, he cannot stop seeing her, knowing somehow that all is not right in her stepbrother's household. What ensues is a whirlwind situation that lands him with a woman he knows not what to do with. Should he love her and forsake all he knows to be true about the family curse? Of should he turn tail and run, turning his back on the one person who may be the answer to all his problems?
This was a very quick read due to the fact that the story had me completely in it's grip. The suspense leading up to Armond's transformation was so consuming it was next to impossible for me to put the book down till I had finished it. Armond longed to avoid dark side of his cursed nature and to be with his wife, but he always held back from her, never wanting to succumb to any feelings for her less it cause him to turn. Rosalind, while confused for most of the book as to why her husband acted so strangly determined to keep their relationship distant, nevertheless was just as determined to have him love her. Her gutsy bravery was a blessing in disguise for the poor tortured Armond.
I just loved this intro book into the Wild Wulfs of London series! We're introduced to two of the other brothers, Gabriel and Jackson, both of whom promise to be enigmatic heros in their own right. If I had to hazzard a guess my prediction would be for seeing Gabriel's story next. Expertly developed main characters, a wonderful cast of colorful supporting characters and powerful emotions make "The Dark One" a good solid five star read. Abolutely superb romantic "fluff".
**** This is a compelling read that we've been waiting for for some time. The gothic atmosphere is conveyed perfectly in this fast paced paranormal. I look forward to seeing Armond's brothers get their own stories. ****
Reviewed by Amanda Killgore, Freelance Reviewer.
It is slow, the dialogue stilted, the characters completely one dimensional. What the hero sees in the heroine is beyond me.I was hoping for more ambience, more interaction between the characters. Why they fall in love other than being physically attracted to each other, you never see.
