The aging problem of twins in the ellipsoidal coordinates (original) (raw)

Abstract

In this paper, we have tried to explore the twin paradox in the ellipsoidal coordinate system. We have investigated that the traveling twin travels away from the gravitational source in the first case while in the other it moves towards the source. We then tried to compare it with the special relativistic case where the static twin ages faster as compared to his traveling counterpart.
