Title: Information Relativity Theory Solves the Twin Paradox Symmetrically
Abstract: The Twin Paradox is one of the most fascinating paradoxes in physics. In Special Relativity, the paradox arises due to the nonexistence of a preferred frame of reference, resulting in both twins observing that he or she is younger than the other twin. Nonetheless, it is commonly agreed that the traveling twin returns younger than the staying twin. The prevailing solution is obtained by deviating from the relativity principle and assuming that the staying twin's frame is preferred over the traveling twin's frame. Here I describe a newly proposed relativity theory, termed Information Relativity (IR) and show that it solves the twin paradox symmetrically, with the twins aging equally.
