dc.description.abstractThis is the first instalment in a four part series, the aim of the work being to introduce absolute motion into Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity (STR). In the traditional treatment of Einstein’s famous twin paradox, it is argued that the stay at home twin will age more than the “travelling” twin and the asymmetry is attributed to the fact that the travelling twin’s reference system is not an inertial reference system during the periods of acceleration and deceleration thus making it “illegal” for the “travelling” twin to use the STR in their reference system, hence “resolving” the paradox altogether. From within the domains, confines and provinces of Einstein’s STR, we argue without considering the accelerations and decelerations, where we show that, indeed, it is the “travelling” twin that is younger at the point of reunion. This brings us to a point of admission that there is indeed a twin who really does the travelling and another that does the staying at home. Hidden within the labyrinth of its seemingly coherent and consistent structure and fabric, does Einstein’s STR imply absolute motion – we ask?en_US
