Could you link the paper where they show that to be true?

I think it was C. Yang and Michael Ellis, "Einstein's Birthday: The Time Zone/Time Travel Paradox". You should be able to find it on JSTOR....:)

I see.

So, by enacting this methodology this year, you're 28 now instead of 30? :-D

Happy birthday!

Thank you, and thank you. :) What's the first thing I did today? Put on my skimpiest summer dress and went to the mall. I love America. :)
