Author's description of twin paradox is incorrect. In fact, the paradox is not described at all. The paradox is that since motion is relative then from both twin's perspective the other twin goes on a journey and ages slowly. So why it is that on returning, only the traveling twin has aged slowly? The answer is that both twins indeed see each other age slowly but for the traveling twin to come back they have to slow…

The whole website and the way FAQ is worded give AI generated vibes

Why do you say that?

I think lately I look at anything new with my guard up.

In this case, first the FAQ gave me those vibes. Why? Hard to tell. If I have to force myself explain it, it has the kind of didactic and dumbed down tone that I usually get from chatgpt when I ask questions about complex topics.

Then I went to your blog and saw the entries were mostly (I assume) AI generated as well. I know it doesn't necessarily follow that because of that this website has been mostly created by ChatGPT as well. But I saw it as some kind of weak confirmation.

Finally some of the JS code comments such as "Plot Charts" right before a "PlotChart" also made me think this.

As I said, I'm just extra cautious about this stuff lately. You are the creator, you know how you did it. If my intuition was wrong I wholeheartedly apologize for making that statement. I could probably have expressed it in a kinder way. I know that it's not easy to create it something now and put it out there for people to see it and criticize it.
