twin paradox?

Question

IF 1 TWIN IS PLACED ON A SPACESHIP & TRAVELS NEAR THE SPEED OF LIGHT WHILE THE OTHER TWIN REMAINS EARTHBOUND,THEN WICH OF THE 2 WILL BE OLDER @ THE RETURN OF THE ONE IN THE SPACESHIP. {1 WHO WILL SOLVE THIS WILL B AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE BY ME}

Answer 1

Sir Albert Einstein said that when a person travels at almost the speed of light his inner clock slows down and thus the personin the spaceship will be younger.

Answer 2

Einstein introduced the so-called "twins paradox" at the end of a lecture on special relativity. It was a test to see who was listening. If you understood what the lecture was about, you would burst out laughing at the joke; unfortunately, most scientists still don't get it. The joke is, you can't go from A to B and back to A without accelerating, so special relativity does not apply to that kind of problem.

In general relativity, developed several years later, it was determined that the traveling twin ages less than the one who stayed home.

Answer 3

I know what troubles you. As long as he is moving with constant velocity, Things are symmetric both will measure that the others clock is moving slow. But the very fact that the space bound twin comes back shows that he underwent acceleration this is the unsymmetrical thing between them one of them underwent acceleration other did not so the results are also unsymmetric one has become younger and the other did not.

Answer 4

Prof. Albert Enstin said that the person in the spaceship will be younger compared to the person on the ground due to relativity..

Answer 5

The earth bound twin will age normally, the one on the space ship will age slower.

Answer 6

It'll be the one who's in the spaceship.. Yea, i know what you're thinking..
"Everything's symmetrical.."
"what's so special about the guy on the ship??"
"I could alter my frame of reference and twist the whole story around.."
etc etc..

http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc there is a short, easy to read explnation of this. It is entitled "The Twin Paradox"
