So I take it that nobody openly supports the idea that
the earth bound twin physically ages at a faster rate
than the traveler and that this only occurs during
acceleration following turn around?
Openly or otherwise, no. What happens to a remote observer
cannot have a "real, physical" effect on a local frame. Because
there are a host of different frames.
I like to think - although having been the recipient of
a high school drop kick as the result of my lazy and
disruptive attitude and being mathematically
challenged to the extreme with an almost non-existent
education in the subject of physics - that my challenge
to that attempted negation of the paradox was
successful.
The paradox is only a paradox if you believe that the distance
between A and B, regardless of path followed, is the same for
everyone. Because that is what this "paradox" is all about.
A is departure of travelling twin, and B is his / her return...
and the "distance" odometer is a clock, they each have one, and
they have been on different "paths" between A and B.
