In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity, in which a twin makes a journey into space in a high-speed rocket and returns home to find he has aged less than his identical twin who stayed on Earth. This result appears puzzling because each twin sees the other twin as traveling, and so, according to a naive application of time dilation, each should paradoxically find the other to have aged more slowly.
Didja get that? Yeah, me neither.
But this charming animation produced by Yuanjian Luo interprets the theory in a way that makes it (somewhat) easier to understand.
