Relativity Question

[Devil Particle]

Say you took your twin and tied a long rope around him and swung him around in a circle. Say you and him were out in space where gravity is close to zero and somehow managed to make this happen. Now imagine that you are able to spin your twin so fast that his speed approaches the speed of light. Even though he is not moving away from or closer to you, would he age at a different rate because he's moving close to the speed of light?

Been there, done that; however, the non-twin brother was 8 years my junior to begin with else I never would have gotten away with it.

This is basically the classical twin paradox.

Your twin will hardly age at all (but he will really be pissed).

Wouldn't you have to use a clone instead? Even identical twins are not identical and the Relativity factor should be a lot better with a clone, right

Follow up question: Would the twin appear red shifted?

If you had the line tied around his feet, his face would definitely appear red shifted as the blood shifted to his head.

That's awesome. But I was thinking because the vector velocity of the twin's reference frame would be accelerating toward the observer to maintain the constant speed around the circular path of travel.

Since the twin's clock is running slower the frequency of any oscillator on him would also run slower: hence a redshift.
