SUMMARY

The earliest online publication discussing the Twin Paradox is Alfred Schild's article titled "The Clock Paradox in Relativity Theory," published in the American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 66, No. 1 in January 1959. This article can be accessed through JSTOR at the provided link. It contains foundational arguments related to the Twin Paradox, which are also discussed on the University of California, Riverside's physics website. This discussion emphasizes the importance of accessing original scholarly works for a comprehensive understanding of the Twin Paradox.

PREREQUISITES

I was wondering if anyone knew of any works that can be accessed online that were published before they were put online that deal with the Twin paradox? Thanks.





- to a mentor, sorry I forgot that this belongs in the SR thread.

As I posted before, ...
In my opinion, one of the best articles on the Twin Paradox is:

"The Clock Paradox in Relativity Theory"
Alfred Schild
American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 66, No. 1 (Jan., 1959) , pp. 1-18

If your institution has access to JSTOR, it is available here
http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0002-9890%28195901%2966%3A1%3C1%3ATCPIRT%3E2.0.CO%3B2-L

Some of the arguments that appear in

can be found in the above paper.

The original post was asking for resources. This will not devolve into just another Twin Paradox debate.
