Abstract
The return trip of the traveling twin from the famous ?Twins Paradox' from Special Relativity Theory (SRT) is used to show that SRT requires the allowance of negative time lapse (i.e., time reversal) when the traveling twin stops back at his original birthplace. Time mappings of the stationary clock's time points onto the moving twin's time line ?resolve' the clock paradox by means of distance dependent time leaps that in turn imply the requirement for time reversal when the mover stops. Time reversal is postulated to be impossible. Time dilation is shown to be non-reciprocal. ?Time Leap' vs. ?Clock Re-phasing' is discussed.
