Re: Twin paradox with live webcams

Your lack of logic is appalling. At the end, with the twins back together, the fact that the webcam and direct observation agree places no constraint that the two twins be the same age. One could be an old graybeard and one a youth, and as long as the two webcams agree with the direct view there's no problem.

And watching the webcam throughout the trip does not help -- the youth can watch his twin growing older at a rate faster than he himself does, and there's no contradiction or problem.

Hint: If you think you have found a contradiction in SR, check your premises and your logic, because you are wrong. SR has been PROVED to be as self-consistent as is Euclidean geometry, and as self-consistent as is real analysis. EVERY claim around here to have "disproved relativity" has been shown to be invalid by elementary means; yours is no different.
