In summary: The twin paradox is the apparent contradiction between the physical laws of motion and the apparent experience of motion experienced by one twin of a pair of twins who each think the other twin is moving. The paradox arises because the laws of motion describe the behavior of a single object, the twin who is presumed to be stationary, while the experience of motion describes the behavior of two objects that are in relative motion.From the very beginning you have two possible frames - the one in which the Earth twin and the distant Star are not moving and the one in which the 'traveling' twin is not moving. They can't be both inertial since two inertial frames must have a constant relative velocity. Their relative velocity changes in direction when the traveling
