Twinne & Twynne
The Twin Paradox Physics
Size guide S–5XL · inches
Twinne stays home. Twynne flies out at 0.8c and back. They meet again 20 years later for one of them and 12 for the other.
The Physics
Each clock records the proper time along its own path through spacetime. The traveller's path is shorter in proper time, so at 0.8c a 20-year round trip on Earth lasts 12 years for the traveller. The gap comes from the geometry of the two paths, not from acceleration itself.
τ = ∫ √(1 − v²/c²) dt
- τ: proper time on the clock (s)
- v: clock speed (m/s)
- c: speed of light (m/s)
- t: Earth-frame time (s)
Einstein predicted the clock effect in 1905, and Paul Langevin recast it as a human traveller in 1911.
On the shirt
Front: Twinne & Twynne, the pixel-art character, with the title. Back: the proper-time integral, the 0.8c worked example, the geometry note and the 1905 and 1911 sources. Printed on a unisex tee.
