Annotation:

The twin paradox of special relativity cannot be resolved without acknowledging a hierarchy of clock rates dependent on a hierarchy of inertial motion.

In Relativity Trail, the symmetrically measured effects of Special Relativity are explained with diagrams and arithmetic arising from an absolute frame of reference, ending all confusion regarding relative frames of reference and revealing what is transpiring behind the scenes of Einstein's treatment. No clock paradox arises, as the time differential between reunited clocks is seen to be caused by an actual difference in clock rates in accordance with their different states of motion in relation to the speed of light. Everything is charted out in absolute terms against a system at rest with respect to the totality of the universe for perfect clarity as well as soundness of theoretical basis.
