Abstract

Einstein's special theory of relativity has left us with an enduring topic of concern in its prediction of time dilation. This prediction appears well validated in the apparently slow decay of rapidly moving unstable particles. But the prediction also apparently leads to the well-known ?Twin Paradox?, which confounds ordinary logic. The present paper attempts to shed new light on this subject.
