Twins who are 19.0 years of age leave the earth and travel to a distant planet...
Twins who are 19.0 years of age leave the earth and travel to a distant planet 12.0 light-years away. Assume that the planet and earth are at rest with respect to each other. The twins depart at the same time on different spaceships. One twin travels at a speed of 0.834c, and the other twin travels at 0.495c. (a) According to the theory of special relativity, what is the difference between their ages when they meet again at the earliest possible time?

Ed and Bob are twins. They plan a trip to planet X which is 60
light years from Earth. They both leave Earth at the same time on
their 20th birthdays, but on different spacecraft. Ed’s space-
craft travels at .90c, and Bob’s travels at .80c. As soon as Bob
arrives he is met at the terminal by Ed (who arrived first). What
are each of their biological ages (nearest 0.1 year) at this
meeting?

Consider two people born on Earth at the same time (like twins).
Alice gets on a spaceship and travels to Alpha Centauri, 4.4 light
years away, and back at an average velocity of 0.5c. Bob (her
fraternal twin, I guess) stays on Earth. Who is older when they
reunite, and why?
