review text: The author presents some simple linear algebraic manipulations on 2- dimensional Minkowski space, which are interpreted in a rather strange manner. Obviously the author did not realize the very meaning of the so- called twin paradox, since no attention is paid to the difference between coordinate time and proper time.
