Twin Paradox Explained
The twin paradox illustrates the complexities of time dilation and reference frames in relativity. As one twin travels at a significant fraction of the speed of light, both perceive the other as moving, creating a symmetry that leads to a paradox upon their reunion. The resolution lies in the understanding that the traveling twin undergoes acceleration, breaking the symmetry and resulting in one twin being younger than the other.In this clip
