I've heard the twin paradox, and until recently I thought I had it
straight.  I thought of something recently, though.  When one twin
takes off, leaving the other here, why does the one in space age
more slowly?  Why can't you use a reference frame travelling with
him and say that the earth is travelling at a great velocity?  Am
I missing something?  (Obviously I am.)
