Wow, what a clever solution. If the clocks read differently when right beside one another there's no paradox. Somebody go wake up Albert. Brent *I meant, of course, that when the twins are reunited, their clocks will have different readings (if they're not of the rollover type which confuses the issue of which twin's elapsed time is larger), and this is what we expect. That is, the clocks do not have the same readings. But how an "event" is defined, I am not sure*.* AG* *I agree of course that the labels are arbitrary, then you, being a great teacher of Relativity, should be able to state exactly what an "event" is. Instead you resort to mockery. But more important, much more important, is the fact that your model of the TP is grossly modified to get the result you think is correct; namely, no acceleration throughout. But this is obviously NOT the case, and lack of honesty is the reason you didn't address my observation, that when the twins are juxtaposed and they synchronize their clocks, the traveling twin leaves the Earth. How can he leave without accelerating? ANSWER; he cannot! Period. End of story.
