*Watch the video!If you follow what he does step-by-step you will
see that he is right. It's not difficult. *
*I'll definitely watch it, very soon, but a-priori the impossibility
of absolute simultaneity can't solve the paradox because it's not its
cause. Can you succinctly state the cause of the paradox? It's the
application of time dilation in SR, under the mistaken assumption that
the twins take symmetric paths; that their situations are symmetric.
This results in the situation that when they meet and compare clock
readings, each concludes the other is younger. *
No that's wrong. The stay at home twin has a clock that indicates a
longer interval than the traveling twins clock. They agree that the
traveling twin is younger.
