Message: <blockquote data-quote="AnuradhaRa" data-source="post: 18508378" data-attributes="member: 325076">Resolution of the paradox in special relativityThe paradoxical aspect of the twins' situation arises from the fact that at any given moment the travelling twin's clock is running slow in the earthbound twin's inertial frame, but equally the earthbound twin's clock is running slow in the travelling twin's inertial frame. The resolution is that the earthbound twin is in the same inertial frame throughout the journey, but the travelling twin is not: in the simplest version of the thought-experiment the travelling twin switches at the midpoint of the trip from being at rest in an inertial frame with velocity in one direction (away from the earth) to being at rest in an inertial frame with velocity in the opposite direction (towards the earth).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox" target="_blank">(Source)</a></blockquote>
