The twin trip shows a paradox in the thought experiment of the "traveling clock" idea... since if the
clock were to come back to you at the same speed, it would appear that time would speed up, so the
total elapsed time would be the same as on Earth. Real experiments do not show this to be true,
though. So, how do we explain away this paradox?
For this assignment, come up with a creative way to both explain the twin paradox and to explain why
there is still a discrepancy in the time elapsed on Earth as compared to the moving ship. You
can do
this through a story, a video, a poem, a song, a comic strip, or any other creative way.
If you are
uncertain your idea is acceptable, reach out to your teacher for advice. When you do
your
research,
make sure to keep a list of your sources and include a bibliography.
