According to that Twin Paradox, is one brother stayed at earth and
other went to space with speed of light and he came back after some
time then it seems that one who travels with spped of light ages less
than who stayed at earth.
In this case we are only considering the frame of refrence of earth
i.e. w.r.to earth you are calculating the age of that person.
Now suppose that you are in a space ship, then according to you, you
are at rest and earth is moving with the spped of light.
Here also the same logic can be applied and you will say that the
person sitting on the earth will younger than you.
Therfore the explanation can be given from both point of view, hence
the age of both the persons should be same, because time is relative.
