I watched the first video and had a discussion with Brent about his alleged related solution, but I was finally turned off when he used the slingshot method for turnaround, but apparently couldn't explain how the traveling twin could start his adventure without accelerating. And in the first video the author had the revelation that absolute simultaneity violates relavity, and this was one of his major insights. I don't see any simplification here since in the usual solution of the TP, one need NOT appeal to issues related to simultaneity to get to the resolution. Frankly, I seriously doubt you can succintly describe how the solution you like, differs from the one based on acceleration. AG* *If you won't do as I ask, how about explaining an issue I brought up on another thread; namely, when polarizing a photon, how can you assert that S's equation implies that every polarization must occur in some world using the MWI, when the equation is nowhere in sight to predict anything about polarization measurements?
