Answer Me This

"I believe everything Einstein said, except for that cosmological constant thing and even he agreed that was one big mistake.  Einstein never said that time speeds up.  That is just some misinterpretation of yours of something he said."

Maybe Einstein never said that time speeds up, but he did say that it slows down.  So what happens when a moving body accelerates enough to slow time down for awhile and then returns to its original speed?  Does time stay slowed down, or does it return to what it was before the moving body speeded up?  If it stays slowed down, then the space traveling twin would continue to get younger and younger than his brother after he returned to Earth.  I don't think that's how it works, I think the returning twin would age at the same rate as the twin that stayed home, although he would always be as younger as he was when he first came back.  If that is the case, how could that happen without time speeding up?

Trump is just as much at fault as Biden for that mess in Afghanistan.  It was Trump who agreed to withdraw our troops and let the Taliban take over.  Biden could have stopped it, but then he would have had all the peaceniks mad at him.  What they both should have done is evacuate all the civilians before withdrawing any troops.  They are both old enough to remember the fall of Saigon, so they should have known better.
