May you please accelerate one twin to near-light speed so we get a real-life demonstration of the twin paradox?

Well I do have a degree in Astrophysics but as that was three years ago I have, of course, forgotten everything that I learned.

I'm also from the UK so feel that if I ever do stumble across the solution to near-lightspeed travel I'd be more inclined to give the plans to the ESA... it's up to them if they wish to share it with you guys. Sorry.

Pssh, what do you know about food, Donald McRonald?

To be fair, from an astrophysical perspective 0.014s ~ 18yrs.

Excellent! I hope that 'prolonged life expectancy' is listed as a benefit of being an astronaut.

I feel like I wasted my comment by asking something silly, so if I may ask another question:

Is this a purely physical study or will you also be observing possible effects of environment on one's psychology?

Also, how do you see this study eventually leading to personalised medicine? I don't quite understand how that step will be made.

Thanks!
