What science requires is understanding the theory and then CALCULATING
what happens. Do this for SR and the twin scenario, and one obtains
agreement with experiments. Nothing more can be expected of a theory.
I don't agree. Einstein was overly imaginative
His imagination was guided by experimental evidence, not just flopping
around like yours. And he became famous because he turned his imaginings
into a real theory in which he CALCULATED things. Had he not done that,
he would not be remembered.
