The twins meet at T=12 and τ=9.33. The blue numbers indicate the coordinate time T in the inertial frame of the stay-at-home-twin, the red numbers the proper time τ of the rocket-twin, and "a" is the proper acceleration. The thin red lines represent lines of simultaneity in terms of the different momentary inertial frames of the rocket-twin.

The twin paradox is an example of this effect. [2] The dark blue vertical line represents an inertial observer measuring a coordinate time interval t between events E 1 and E 2. The red curve represents a clock measuring its proper time interval τ between the same two events.
According to the special theory of relativity introduced by Albert Einstein, it is impossible to say in an absolute sense that two distinct events occur at the same time if those events are separated in space.

In “The Twin Paradox,” what had started as a dark Cold War secret grew into a corporate effort to resurrect the DNA of the greatest thinkers from history. 18 years later, mankind’s most ...
Relativistic rocket means any spacecraft that travels close enough to light speed for relativistic effects to become significant. The meaning of "significant" is a matter of context, but often a threshold velocity of 30% to 50% of the speed of light (0.3 c to 0.5 c ) is used.
Bell's spaceship paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity. It was first described by E. Dewan and M. Beran in 1959 [ 1 ] but became more widely known after John Stewart Bell elaborated the idea further in 1976. [ 2 ]
