    Post The Twin Paradox and it's description of relativity

    One twin goes on a rocket trip at 99% of the speed of light. The other twin stays on Earth. When the twin who went into space has not aged much but the twin on Earth has aged as the other humans would. This simple Theory is not mathematical but is mostly explained in illustrations. It is however an accurate description of part of relativity.

    Re: The Twin Paradox and it's description of relativity

    The fact is that the acceleration of linear velocity reduces the rate at which molecular interaction occurs (aging) and thus the twin in the accelerating rocket will not age as rapidly. This is another example of the influence of motion on physical objects and not proof of the validity of Relativity.

    The mathematics of Relativity works, but not for the reasons given in the explanations of Relativity.
