That's a very well-written reference.

But there is an interesting and important issue regarding the twin 
paradox that goes beyond the question of which twin has aged less by the 
end of the trip.  That additional issue is whether the twin who 
accelerates can determine the current age of the unaccelerating twin at 
each of his own ages during his trip.  And if so, how is that done?  And 
does the unaccelerating twin agree with the accelerating twin's conclusions?

The answers to these (and other) questions are answered in
