In the twin paradox example done in lecture, just before Alice arrives at the star (before she slows down), she observes Bob’s clock back where he is located. (In other words, she has a photo taken of his clock and her corresponding clock at that location, her clock being part of her lattice of clocks.) Compared to her clock, does she observe Bob’s clock to be behind, ahead, or the same time as hers?
