    B Why the stay-at-home twin is not considered to be accelerating?

    Thanks. But here, the potential difference and potential well are a bit new terms for me. Is the potential difference term used here conveys the same meaning as in case of any electric current?

    Thanks for your participation and making the debate so illuminating. But, as I told in the very beginning of the post, I am not a physicist. I am a biologist. Relativity and twin paradox is quite naive to me. And my main aim is to understand what is time itself. I am working on this very...

    Thanks. Nice explanation of coordinate and proper acceleration. Now I am getting the point. The problem is, in most of the books dealing with SR or GR, that I have read, and as far as I remember, only the term acceleration is used, not proper acceleration. More so, doesn't it mean that, "motion...

    Ok. Thanks. I think at some places I have read that SR deals with non-accelerating motion and GR with accelerating one. I shall check. Thanks again.
