NRI Prof claims to have solved Einstein’s twin paradox

An Indian-American professor of electrical and computer engineering at Louisiana State University has claimed to have solved Einstein’s twin paradox, known as one of the most enduring puzzles of modern-day physics.

First suggested by Albert Einstein more than 100 years ago, the paradox deals with the effects of time in the context of travel at near the speed of light. Einstein used the example of two clocks — one motionless, one in transit.

The paradox has been described using the analogy of twins: If one twin is placed on a spacecraft travelling near the
