Title: Time Retardation in Static and Stationary Spherical and Elliptic Spaces
Abstract: The well-known clock paradox is shown to be resolvable and consistent within the framework of the Lorentz Group, using fewer assumptions about the observers than previously. In particular it is not necessary in the spaces indicated to consider the effects of initial acceleration and final deceleration of the observers' clocks since the existence of certain parallel periodic orbits makes it possible to confine observations to times of arbitrary length during which the relative velocity remains constant in a sense previously described. Complete agreement between the observers is attained, thus showing that despite the notion of "relative motion" it is possible to decide which of the two observers is subject to time retardation.
