TL;DR
This paper explores how strong gravitational fields can invert the traditional aging difference predicted by the twin paradox, showing that gravity can outweigh kinematic effects in relativistic scenarios.
Contribution
It demonstrates that gravitational effects can reverse the aging order in the twin paradox, extending the understanding of relativistic aging in curved spacetime.
Findings
Gravity can invert the twin paradox outcome
Strong gravitational fields influence aging differences
Kinematic effects can be overridden by gravity
Abstract
Conventional wisdom, based on kinematic (flat-space) intuition, tell us that a static twin is aging faster than his traveling twin brother. However, such a situation could be exactly inverted if the two twins are embedded in an external gravitational field, and if the (dynamical) distortion of the space-time geometry, due to gravity, is strong enough to compensate the kinematic effect of the relative twin motion.
