Einstein, Gravity, and the Twin Paradox (Einstein's 1918 Solution)
Surprisingly few people are aware of Einstein's preferred solution to the Twin Paradox, which he detailed in a 1918 paper. We examine this solution, purported to take place within the framework of General Relativity, in hopes of finally finding an explanation to the twin paradox that can appease our empathic skepticism. Along the way we learn a thing or two about the nature of gravity, the distinctions between special and general relativity, and the philosophy of motion.
