Does acceleration solve the twin paradox?

From the creator

Special relativity is known to make mind-blowing predictions, perhaps most notably the Twin Paradox, in which two individuals claim that the other person’s clock is doing something funny. There have been many explanations, including two videos, one here on the Fermilab channel and one by fellow YouTuber Sabine Hossenfelder. These two videos seem to contradict each other, but they really don’t. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains how the two videos can be reconciled.
