Since your post of 18 Jun 2004 00:18 you mentioned Einstein's "Section 4" but I don't know what's your beef because 12 pages is a lot of chatter indeed. I understand Relativity, circular paths or straight, and I disagree that there is any *unresolved* paradox. But circular path scenarios must be resolved with GR, there's no choice. Try me.
Personally I don't know why you have to constantly quote hundred-year old Einstein texts, since Relativity is finely polished NOW and hangs tough, and Einstein isn't the end-all be-all authority to cite.
Here's a good blurb I put together:
