The ideas are great, but I was thinking more of the Earth twin as passive. He/she would have to be surprised that the other twin is older. Perhaps I should've mentioned it in the main post.
@Hypnosifl Suspended animation wouldn't work for me. What I'm thinking is person A met person B while person B was a child. The child Person B spent some time "somewhere". Some years passed (say 8 years), and Person A reencounters Person B, finding out Person B isn't a child anymore, but an elderly. Perhaps this is just too far from the plausibility realm?
Thank you. And would there be a plausible way (or at least a bit handwavium) to explain someone who grew old faster in relation to an observer on Earth?
