They are TWINS in different planets. Who said anything about them departing. Can you not see the PREMISE? They are not DEPARTING, they are MEETING. WRONG assumptions, WRONG answer. Do you need HELP?

An assistant janitor from a lowly university obviously will not solve the problem from a relativistic angle.) |
