In 1918 Einstein informed the gullible world that "the calculation" based on the turning-around acceleration shows that the traveling twin is younger at the end of the trip: http://sciliterature.50webs.com/Dialog.htm Albert Einstein 1918: "A homogenous gravitational field appears, that is directed towards the positive x-axis. Clock U1 is accelerated in the direction of the positive x-axis until it has reached the velocity v, then the gravitational field disappears again. An external force, acting upon U2 in the negative direction of the x-axis prevents U2 from being set in motion by the gravitational field. (...) According to the general theory of relativity, a clock will go faster the higher the gravitational potential of the location where it is located, and during partial process 3 U2 happens to be located at a higher gravitational potential than U1. The calculation shows that this speeding ahead constitutes exactly twice as much as the lagging behind during the partial processes 2 and 4." Today's Einsteinians don't accuse Einstein of fraud but still suggest that there is no such "calculation". They claim either that the turning-around acceleration is immaterial or that it matters but the calculation is not based on it: http://www.fnal.gov/pub/today/archive/archive_2014/today14-05-02_NutshellReadMore.html Don Lincoln: "Some readers, probably including some of my doctoral-holding colleagues at Fermilab, will claim that the difference between the two twins is that one of the two has experienced an acceleration. (After all, that's how he slowed down and reversed direction.) However, the relativistic equations don't include that acceleration phase; they include just the coasting time at high velocity." http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/research/gr/members/gibbons/gwgPartI_SpecialRelativity2010.pdf Gary W. Gibbons FRS: "In other words, by simply staying at home Jack has aged relative to Jill. There is no paradox because the lives of the twins are not strictly symmetrical. This might lead one to suspect that the accelerations suffered by Jill might be responsible for the effect. However this is simply not plausible because using identical accelerating phases of her trip, she could have travelled twice as far. This would give twice the amount of time gained." http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/chap11.pdf Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions, David Morin, Cambridge University Press, Chapter 11, p. 14: "Twin A stays on the earth, while twin B flies quickly to a distant star and back. (...) For the entire outward and return parts of the trip, B does observe A's clock running slow, but enough strangeness occurs during the turning-around period to make A end up older. Note, however, that a discussion of acceleration is not required to quantitatively understand the paradox..." Was Einstein a liar? If not, why are today's Einsteinians implicitly denying the existence of his "calculation"? Pentcho Valev

Although this answer is correct, it still understandably leaves many people dissatisfied, and feeling that there must be more to the story than that. A more complete answer is that the "traveling twin" DOES conclude that the home twin is ageing more slowly during all portions of the trip where the "traveler" isn't accelerating (which, in the usual scenario is ALMOST ALL of the trip). But during the turnaround (no matter how brief), the accelerating twin will conclude that the home twin suddenly ages by a very large amount. That sudden ageing is so great that it makes the total ageing of the home twin at the end of the trip be much greater than the "traveler's" total ageing. The two twins will always agree about their corresponding ages at the end of the trip, even though they completely disagree about the correspondence between their ages at (most) other times during the trip. -- https://sites.google.com/site/cadoequation/cado-reference-frame "Accelerated Observers in Special Relativity", PHYSICS ESSAYS, December 1999, p629.

Less common, but correct answer to this question is: because whole this paradox exists only in the imagination of relativistic moron, that have no clue about age, clocks, observers or concluding.

Einsteinians even go as far as to PROVE that the turning-around acceleration ("gravitational field"), crucial for the explanation of the twin paradox according to Einstein, is actually immaterial:
http://sciencechatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=26847
Don Lincoln: "A common explanation of this paradox is that the travelling twin experienced acceleration to slow down and reverse velocity. While it is clearly true that a single person must experience this acceleration, you can show that the acceleration is not crucial. What is crucial is that the travelling twin experienced time in two reference frames, while the homebody experienced time in one. We can demonstrate this by a modification of the problem. In the modification, there is still a homebody and a person travelling to a distant star. The modification is that there is a third person even farther away than the distant star. This person travels at the same speed as the original traveler, but in the opposite direction. The third person's trajectory is timed so that both of them pass the distant star at the same time. As the two travelers pass, the Earthbound person reads the clock of the outbound traveler. He then adds the time he experiences travelling from the distant star to Earth to the duration experienced by the outbound person. The sum of these times is the transit time. Note that no acceleration occurs in this problem...just three people experiencing relative inertial motion."
http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/chap11.pdf
Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions, David Morin, Cambridge University Press, Chapter 11, p. 44: "Modified twin paradox *** Consider the following variation of the twin paradox. A, B, and C each have a clock. In A's reference frame, B flies past A with speed v to the right. When B passes A, they both set their clocks to zero. Also, in A's reference frame, C starts far to the right and moves to the left with speed v. When B and C pass each other, C sets his clock to read the same as B's. Finally, when C passes A, they compare the readings on their clocks."

The missing part of the twin paradox: A train is at rest and a clock is moving to and fro between two clocks situated at the front and back ends of the train. The speed of the moving clock is constant except for the turn-arounds where the clock suffers sharp acceleration. This is the official relativistic scenario - Einstein's relativity predicts that the moving clock runs slower than (lags behind) the two clocks on the train. In a complementary scenario (which is missing in the relativistic literature), the single clock is on the ground, at rest, but the train is moving to and fro, at constant speed, so that the clock on the ground formally commutes between the front and back ends of the train. Will the clock on the ground run slower or faster than the two clocks on the moving train? What does relativity say? A clue: http://www.amazon.com/Relativity-Its-Roots-Banesh-Hoffmann/dp/0486406768 Relativity and Its Roots, Banesh Hoffmann, p. 105: "In one case your clock is checked against two of mine, while in the other case my clock is checked against two of yours, and this permits us each to find without contradiction that the other's clocks go more slowly than his own."

As usual, Valev did not even bother to read his reference, which does NOT
support his statement. His claim is complete nonsense, and the elapsed proper
times of the twins can easily be calculated as Einstein suggests.
Note to readers: Pentcho Valev is among the most persistent idiots
around here. He has been repeating this nonsense for many years,
without any attempt to learn the subject he tries to write about.
I reply to him only occasionally, as a service to readers who may
not recognize his mistakes. He has proven himself to be unable
and unwilling to learn anything.

It should be c dt' = (c dt - v dx/c) / sqrt(1 - v^2 / c^2) How careless of him. "Notice the relative speed of the frames (primed and the unprimed), v, vanishes." So what? Looks like obfuscation and deflection to me. "dt_AB = dt_BB / sqrt(1 - B^2) "dt_BA = dt_AA / sqrt(1 - B^2) K-dub didn't need to go through all that spinach to come to THOSE equations :-) "Thus, the contradiction to the Twin paradox is absolutely fatal to the religion of relativity." Complete baloney. K-stupid prefers to forget about what happens at the turn-around point: http://www.npl.washington.edu/AV/altvw38.html Hopefully, he's not as stupid as Valev about this.

Clock U1 is accelerated in the direction of the positive x-axis until it has reached the velocity v, then the gravitational field disappears again. An external force, acting upon U2 in the negative direction of the x-axis prevents U2 from being set in motion by the gravitational field. (...) According to the general theory of relativity, a clock will go faster the higher the gravitational potential of the location where it is located, and during partial process 3 U2 happens to be located at a higher gravitational potential than U1. The calculation shows that this speeding ahead constitutes exactly twice as much as the lagging behind during the partial processes 2 and 4." > > Today's Einsteinians don't accuse Einstein of fraud but still suggest that there is no such "calculation".

(After all, that's how he slowed down and reversed direction.) However, the relativistic equations don't include that acceleration phase; they include just the coasting time at high velocity." > > http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/research/gr/members/gibbons/gwgPartI_SpecialRelativity2010.pdf > Gary W. Gibbons FRS: "In other words, by simply staying at home Jack has aged relative to Jill. There is no paradox because the lives of the twins are not strictly symmetrical. This might lead one to suspect that the accelerations suffered by Jill might be responsible for the effect. However this is simply not plausible because using identical accelerating phases of her trip, she could have travelled twice as far. This would give twice the amount of time gained." > > http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/chap11.pdf > Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions, David Morin, Cambridge University Press, Chapter 11, p. 14: "Twin A stays on the earth, while twin B flies quickly to a distant star and back.

I believe that is obvious because of who he was as a man of principle... It is speed in 4D space programing Gamma for slower rate and more energy from material changing in position. Mitchell Raemsch
