The Twin Paradox Put to Rest

Popular Physics 2023-03-17 v1

Abstract

In this letter, we give a simple and analytical solution to the twin paradox. It relies just on Lorentz transformations and does not involve accelerated frames or any kind of signals exchanged between the twins. We expect that with this we can put a dead end to this century-old problem.
