The concept is simple: one twin stays on Earth, while the other travels at near-lightspeed to distant stars in a spaceship, and upon reaching the stars, they return to Earth using the same means and at the same speed. According to the equations of the theory of relativity, the astronaut will appear much younger than the stay-at-home twin upon their reunion.The paradox is a godsend for sensationalist journalists and a target for scandal-hungry alternative media. Let's imagine that there are not two twins, but six. All of them simultaneously launch their twin starships towards the stars in all six directions of the compass. From launch to return, everything happens in the same way: acceleration, inertial motion, and deceleration.
