... The twin paradox, first developed by Einstein, goes as follows. Suppose you have twin astronauts, one Earth-bound and one who travels. The traveller performs a loop that leaves the Earth and then returns. When the twins compare clocks, they see that the travelling clock has lost some time, meaning t ...

2.1 Inertial Frames of Reference
... Definition. A frame of reference is a system of spatial coordinates and possibly a temporal coordinate. A frame of reference in which the Law of Inertia holds is an inertial frame or inertial system. An observer at rest (i.e. with zero velocity) in such a system is an inertial observer. Note. The ma ...
