twin paradox

An effect predicted by the general theory of relativity: if one of a pair of twins remains on Earth, and the other travels in a rocket at a speed near the speed of light, the traveling twin will be younger than the earthbound twin upon returning to Earth. This effect has been verified experimentally by measurements with atomic clocks.

The "paradox" part comes in from a feature of Special Relativity. Both twins see the other aging more slowly, so which one is correct? they can't BOTH be right. The paradox is resolved by the General Theory of Relativity which shows that the twin that accelerates is the one whose clock runs slower. Special Relativity does not address acceleration, permitting the paradox of both twins aging more slowly than the other. (It is called "Special" because it addresses the special case of acceleration always being 0).

convinced. it would want to be organic and organic. because our biology and the growing older procedure is in accordance with time. the middle of the dual paradox is that aspect might want to bypass otherwise for all of both twins. The bodies and actual cells can be a diverse age. The cellular tactics that are linked with growing older might want to progression at a classic cost contained in the relative time body for _each_ twin.

In the STR if a body move with velocity to very near to light velocity, the time will be short, in comparison with a body that travel a normal velocities...

The example suppose the bother travel in a spaceship when come bacj to the earth will be more younger that the brother in the Earth...

it says that a twin that travels really fast ages slower than one that doesnt travel really fast

here is an explanation
