How the Twins Each Age Less Than the Other

Authors: Tom Fuchs

This paper shows that the twin paradox hasn't heretofore been solved. It's shown that the asymmetry in a twin paradox experiment resulting in a difference in aging is that the twins move different distances relative to each other, due to length contraction. It's shown that the twins each age less than the other, yet unparadoxically after accounting for relativity of simultaneity. An equation is derived to calculate the constant speed at which a spaceship must travel so that its occupants age a given time during a trip. Code is given to numerically integrate a twin paradox experiment involving acceleration.
