Twin paradox solved by a universal static aether adjustment to SR ;)
SR is totally broken. And no inertial acceleration doesn't solve it, the twin at home is undergoing plenty of acceleration around the earth, around the sun, thermal and sound vibrations. Also the acceleration to light speed can be arbitrarily steep for a thought experiment so the accelerating, decelerating part of the trip could be no more than 1 sec total by anyones watch. You could also have two (very long) parallel trains with windows and clocks, this way you can see the rate of time of the other train as you might have left that carriage you started opposite a long way behind but a synchronized clock is always in view. Or what of the case of a near light speed orbit, you are always in view of the stationary mass you are orbiting and it can always see you with out any Doppler related time effects. It has never made sense and never will. Many experiments and observations show that the speed of light isn't always constant either, it's all bunk and obviously so once you see the holes.
