    How Does the Twin Paradox Affect Aging in Relativity?

    Thanks for the replies guys! Will give me some good material to mull on while I try to get to sleep tonight, even if that last paragraph does give me nightmares :) The concepts seem simple enough after reading 7 pages of this, but as is evident, I'm missing key pieces!
