When Stella's clock shows 9 hours, Terrence's must show 15 hours. The distance must be 12 light hours, so the light that Stella sees must have left Terrence 12 years earlier, when Terrence clock showed 3 hours. OK. > > When she finishes her U-turn, she has aged 24 hours, and she sees the > earth clock which still marks three years (plus 40 hours). So when she see the earth clock it _still_ shows 43 hours? :-D Terrence's clock must show 55 hours, and since the light will use 12 years to reach Stella, she will see Terrence's clock show 43 hours. > > Nothing special happens. Right. Terrence will age another 15 hours, and Stella will age another 9 hours during her way back. So when they are co-located, Stella will have aged 42 hours while Terrence have aged 70 hours. Stella has travelled with the speed 0.8c for 70 hours in Terrence' rest frame and will have aged 70/γ = 42 hours Note that for the twins to meet again, at least one of must accelerate during the journey. And for the twins to age differently, their acceleration history must be different. > > And those who say that something is happening (like gap-time) are morons > who don't understand the theory.
