   But what does the above say about the current age of the home twin   
   (she), according to the traveling twin (he), for each instant in his   
   life on his trip?  The answer is that the above equations give the same   
   results as the Co-Moving-Inertial-Frames (CMIF) simultaneity method.   
   That is very fortuitous, because the CMIF method is relatively easy to   
   use.  The value of the array of clocks discussed above (which establish   
   a "NOW" moment for the accelerating observer that extends throughout all   
   space) is that they GUARANTEE that the CMIF results are fully meaningful   
   to the traveler, and that the CMIF method is the ONLY correct   
   simultaneity method for him.  He has no other choice.
