OK, paul. Koobee Wublee will make you a deal. Why don?t you modify
your JAVA applet and allow both twins to travel with the same
acceleration profile. Please also allow time when both are not
accelerating but with mutual time dilation building up due to relative
speed. With the same acceleration profiles, the effect of that should
cancel out, no? <please>
