The Twin Paradox implies that the universe as a whole is a special frame of motion according to "Relativity Simply Explained" by Martin Gardner. I want to be sure than I haven't misunderstood something. I don't find the explanation completely clear. If the universe as a whole is a special and unique frame of motion (all speeds being averaged) then I think that any explanation of the twin paradox that attempts to explain WHY it is true (not just how it works) should begin with this fact and account for it. Any references that attempt this would be greatly appreciated.
