The Clock Paradox and Thermodynamics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2022
Abstract
The twin paradox of relativity theory is reviewed. A distinction is made between physical clocks and biological ones. It is suggested that metabolic activity might be a better measure of aging than physical time. Further it is suggested that entropy changes representing metabolic activity would be a good way to describe aging. Using the above criterion it appears that a traveling twin will be older than his brother.
