Most people do not understand SR, and that includes most relativists. There must be over 100 books that "solve" the twin's paradox, and the majority of them are wrong. Many disputers such as Thomas conclude that they have found a flaw in SR when they have only found a flaw in the writings of someone who does not understand SR.
What is now known about SR is that it is an internally consistent mathematical theory that cannot be contradicted by thought experiments. Given the two postulates of SR (which are untestable), its conclusions do follow despite being highly non-intuitive. In an early MRB issue, I published a symmetric version of the twin's paradox, and later discovered that others had already covered that ground.

Einstein's Special Relativity Theory and "Twin paradox"
does not have any relation to a astronauts and "twins brothers".
Special Relativity Theory only examines the behaviour
of a quantum of light / electron.
1.
One law (postulate) of SRT says that speed of light quanta
is constant c=1. Second law says no another particle
can reach this speed. So there are two incommensurable
quantities. Is it possible to bind them together? No. I was
taught at school from the first class that the incommensurable
quantities cannot be compared. To connection between these
incommensurable quantities it is similar to the decision of a
problem: What will be if the whale attacks the elephant?
We can see whale in a ocean and elephant in a savanna,
but they never meet and fight in the same frame of reference.
And the same is about light quanta and another particles.
We can meet light quanta only in SRT and no other particles in it.
2.
SRT was born from Maxwell's theory and it is a continuation
of the electrodynamics development .There isn't the Maxwell's
theory / SRT without electron. And the electron is a main and
single hero in the Maxwell's theory and SRT. It is not correct
to compare electron/ light quanta with another particles
(protonsetc) and bodies (billiard balls, satellites, astronauts,
twins brothers) because they cannot produce electromagnetic
fields. The electron and the another particle are also incommensurable
quantities. They are absolutely different objects.
==============================
The secret of words 'God', 'soul ', 'religion', Existence,
'dualism of consciousness', 'human being' is hidden
in the Theory of Light quanta.
