Twins Paradox
The Twins Paradox is a famous thought experiment showing a confusing potential outcome of time dilation predicted by Special Relativity.
Is there any answer by academics in the threads below (one referencing the other) providing a satisfactory explanation of the Twins Paradox? You be the judge. To me, these thoughtful answers bring up more new questions than answers; a tell-tail sign something might not be quite right.

In fact, many predicted responses listed in this Relativity Challenge are well covered. On a humorous side, a summary of common responses are also addressed in this satire.
Before Einstein's theories of relativity, a universal frame of reference or, commonly known as aether, was generally accepted. The Lorentz Ether Theory (LET) continues to be a common alternate theory to relativity. Incidentally, LET does not contain a Twins Paradox.
