   LuigiFortunati to All   
   The universe of the traveling twin

   If we place a telescope to the solar system from the space for 10 years,   
   we see 10 Earth revolutions around the Sun and just over 3650   
   rotations on it.   
      
   If at the end of 10 years the revolutions were 80 and the rotations   
   were over 29200, then it all went 8 times faster.   
      
   Well, that's exactly what happens to the twin who travels for 10   
   years and he finds the aged 80-year-old terrestrial brother.   
      
   The traveling twin telescope has actually observed a total of 80   
   revolutions and more than 29200 land rotations.   
      
   Around his spaceship everything has moved much faster than our usual!   
      
   Can we say that from the porthole of the relativistic spacecraft the   
   universe appears frantically speeded?
