CONCLUSIONS<br />
1. Einstein’s analysis of the twin paradox rejects the idea that it can be<br />
adequately addressed and resolved within special relativity itself<br />
2. His resolution involving pseudo-gravitational time dilation, inspired by<br />
the equivalence principle and general relativity crucially relies on<br />
uninterrupted running of the clocks during accelerations, and this<br />
requirement makes the Einstein resolution is 1918 ineffective,<br />
because clocks can be stopped and restarted, and the result on time<br />
dilation is not significantly changed<br />
3. All standard resolutions of the twin-paradox suffer from a similar<br />
problem and counter examples are easily generated for each<br />
resolution<br />
4. The resolution that the clock that moves more relative to the<br />
matter in the universe ages less due to cosmic gravity works in all<br />
cases without ambiguity, and is indeed the only resolution<br />
consistent with GR and modern cosmology
