Hello, All

I read the article:
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic...n_paradox.html
But, I cannot understand how just asymmetry (without acceleration) can cause less age of moving observer.

The article says:



I cannot understand why do Terence see an Outbound Leg of long duration and an Inbound Leg of very short duration?

Please, explain me this. But, no maths please.
Because if Stella turns around at 7 light years, it takes 7 years for the light from this turnaround to reach Terrence. Thus, for 14 years, Terence sees Stella's clock run slow.
