| Jul 7, 2020 at 12:04 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | If you want to take out acceleration, just bring in a clone of the traveling twin that is on another rocket coming towards the Earth, and represent the turn around as the clone passing the traveling twin where they synchronize watches. Would this be better for what you are trying to ask? | |

No answer can be given unless you are precise on the definitions. I suspect that once you try to be precise you will indeed discover your mistake. | |

| Jul 7, 2020 at 6:14 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | What does "synchronize their clocks" mean? It turns out that the answer to your question depends entirely on the implementation of this process, as it means sending a signal (typically via light) from one to the other at a long distance. The nature of that signalling will affect how they set their clocks, and thus the numbers they read back home. | |
