The so-called “Twin Paradox”, wherein a relativistic effect is hypothesized to produce different clock rates between bodies, has not been resolved to the satisfaction of many theorists, and it is disbelieved entirely by others. Experiments have confirmed the relativistic effect of acceleration, but there has been an abiding difficulty with clarifying how arbitrary periods of uniform motion between accelerations, when both twins will observe the other’s clock to move more slowly, can be resolved at their reunion. Spacetime diagrams are used here to demonstrate visually and conceptually that there is a non-paradoxical explanation for the effect of periods of uniform motion that has not been previously proposed.
