Please excuse my ignorance here, but for most of my life I thought that the twin paradox was predicted by special relativity (ie. time dilation). I also know that the twin paradox has been explained multiple times on this site and others. What I want to know is that, if general relativity were "turned off", would the paradox go away? In other words, is the only phenomenon involved the fact that a clock will run slower in an accelerating frame?
