Summary See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge t'=(t-vx/cc)/g shows t' being greater than t. The reason Special Relativity will not allow the use of its basic time equation in determining what SR has to say about the twins' ages, is that t' and x' are supposedly just coordinates, and they say you have to take the coordinate pairs (t',x') and (x,t) into consideration in both the time and place the twins' separation started and the time and place the twins reunited. Since t' and x' are actually both intervals, not just coordinates, the 'excuse' is spurious, and is so even without use of the obvious (x_b-x_a) and (t_b-t_a) usages. However, SR is right to be embarrassed by their transformation formulas. Look for the "(SR) Lorentz t', x' = degraded measures" document at a newsgroup near you.
