Hence , he's
"discovered" another paradox. Someone needs to tell him about how to
calculate:

Integral(sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) *dt
Not on my computer screen where I see twin paradox type exercises,
apparently for students. Perhaps you gave the wrong link?
Here is what he writes:

"According to the earthbound twin, it is the twin in the spaceship
whose clock would register less time (what English!) since it was the
one that went thru acceleration/deceleration" (what physics!)

Let's hope that he knows how to calculate that. He'll probably say
that
you're a good student. ;-)

He doesn't, otherwise he would not be writing the idiocies you see on
his webpage.

*"According to the earthbound twin"* - Kak is not that twin. In contrast,
according to Kak:

"A "resolution" may ignore the fact that the Earth itself is not moving
in
uniform motion, and that not only is it moving around the Sun, which, in
turn, is moving in the galaxy, and so on"

What are you trying to say? Kak is obviously wrong (and confused, on
top of that), don't you agree?

Wrong about what? As he points out in his introduction, paradoxes are
usually made by implanting wrong suggestions in the reader's mind. He
presented several such variants of the twin paradox, without telling the
students in detail where the errors are (that's for them to figure out!).
Perhaps you read something else of him?
