the twin paradox is resolved in general relativity and is no "100 y.o puzzle". the article is bollocks. Essentially the key to the resolution of the paradox is realising that the twins are not equivalent. One twin experiences the G-forces of acceleration to and from near the speed of light, deceleration on turning around after reaching distant destination, the other twin experiences no such forces.
