This thought experiment is like the classic twin paradox, but in this
expirement both twins leave earth and travel symmetric return trips in
opposite directions.
Since the paths taken by the twins in this experiment are symmetric,
they must be the same age when they meet on their return to earth.
In this experiment the twins maintain constant observation of each
other's clocks, from when they depart until they return and find that
their clocks tell the same time.
Special relativity says that each twin must observe that the other's
clock is running slow, and at no time does special relativity allow
for an observation which shows that the other clock is running fast.
False. SR says that during the time that a twin is turning around, he
observes the other's clock to be running fast.
