Is the twin paradox really a paradox if you consider Einstein’s postulate ? And the fact that the observer in the moving frame (the one that traveled to space) has an acceleration? I suppose not. The observer really does come back younger .

Yeah you’re right. Don’t you think the “argument” is a reasonable analysis? Inertia Symmetry does get broken because she returns in a different inertia frame due to her acceleration (observer is a she btw).

What I'm trying to say is that just saying "one person accelerates" isn't enough to say that she returns younger, but rather that the fact she returns younger is still consistent with the principle of relativity
