(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists have come up with a new experiment to test the quantum twin paradox using a pair of atoms in a superposition. It's an interesting idea because it could tell us ...

IN Nature of January 5 (p. 35), Dr. Frank S. Crawford, jun., asserts that Einstein's theory of relativity predicts an “asymmetrical ageing” of twins who separate and reunite, and cites experiments ...
