Time Dilation And More Latin

Poul Anderson, Tau Zero, CHAPTER 6.

"The twin paradox does not arise." (p. 55)

I thought that it did but I did not understand what the twin paradox was. It would be the contradiction of each twin being younger than the other.

Because the Leonora Christine crew celebrates Christmas, yet more Latin appears in an Anderson text:

"Adeste, fideles,
"Laeti, triumphantes,
"Venite, venite, in Bethlehem.
"-Iesu, tibi sit gloria." (p. 57)

And, on that note, I will return to reading about other gods in a novel by Neil Gaiman.
