Suppose two twins are put asleep. One is put in a rocket ship and accelerated to 90 percent of the speed of light. They are then both awakened, after which they both train their telescope on each each other. They both start dancing. Will the twin in the rocket ship and the twin on the ground both see the other dancing at the appropriate rhythm; or will the twin in the rocket ship see the other twin dancing at a too fast rhythm and the twin on the ground see the other twin dancing in slow motion.
