Message: <blockquote data-quote="imhotep" data-source="post: 24434078" data-attributes="member: 562115">The Twin Paradox isn't a paradox at all.The scenario is that two twins, one stays on the Earth, and the other travels near the speed of light and returns back to earth. When he returns, he is younger than his twin who stayed on the earth.Some believe that this can be explained using general relativity - and this is where the acceleration confusion comes in. The paradox can be understood using special relativity, and the acceleration no longer plays a part. Harder to explain here, but It can be better visualised using a spacetime diagram.Probably better explained here...<a href="https://youtu.be/0iJZ_QGMLD0" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/0iJZ_QGMLD0</a></blockquote>
