In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity involving identical twins, one of whom makes a journey into space in a high-speed rocket and returns home to find that the twin who remained on Earth has aged more.

Relativity dictates that when he comes back, he is younger than his identical twin brother. | Science Of The Universe
