In this episode, we dive into one of the most famous thought experiments in special relativity: the Twin Paradox. Imagine two twins—one stays on Earth, while the other takes a journey at near-light speed into space. When the traveling twin returns, they’re younger than their sibling. But why? We’ll break down how the Twin Paradox illustrates the effects of time dilation and why this surprising outcome only seems paradoxical on the surface. By the end, you’ll understand how Einstein’s relativity reveals that time itself can flow differently depending on motion, challenging our everyday understanding of aging and time.
