    • I would imagine the same time dilation would hold true if there was motion relative to the two of them.

    • What if this is a closed universe and Gracie just does a 1-direction lap

    • How gracie got beard

    • wait but how did Gracie grow a beard on space, space is mysterious

      • The Gracie’s beard has an easy explanation… Gracie after the trip calls herself George so now both George are right: “You George are older!” “Yes, and you George are younger!”

        • This twin paradox is out of the scope of special relativity because involve gravity field and accelerations, none of the twins is in a real inertial frame of reference, it should be treated in a General Relativity course for fully understanding.

    • nice explanation, thanks
