No paradox there either. > Or are you talking now of some other paradox? Einstein explained how a paradox arose with the inception of GRT: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dialog_about_Objections_against_the_Theory_of_Relativity Harald

Only when cranks do so, it is very obvious. Harald

If it is 'larger amounts' of time shouldn't the traveling twin have aged a 'larger amount'??? Should it not instead be age = rate * duration. So, if the traveling twin ages less either the rate or duration is less. Lorentz would say the rate was less... Paul Stowe
