Default Dork Van de faggot is Antinous incarnate.

The similarity between Dork Van de faggot and Antinous, the rent boy

the 20-year-old photograph athttp://users.telenet.be/vdmoortel/dirk/index..html
withhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinous.
Antinous was stupid enough to get drowned in the Nile, Dork is
stupid enough to claim:
So if T = 5 years and v = 0.8c, then the stay at home twin will
have aged 10 years (2T) while his travelling twin sister will have
aged 6 years (2T/g). -- Dork Van de improper faggot

This is how they make calculations. According to traveling twin he
traveled total reduced distance of 4.8 LY. And so his clock will show
elapsed time as 6 years.
According to home twin, other has traveled total distance of 8 LY and
so his clock will show elapsed time as 10 years.
Actually these calculations violate reciprocity of SR. For the
traveling twin, it was home twin who was in uniform motion and it was
he who went away and came back. But for convenience, they forget
nature of relativity and tag the frame of twin who actually
accelerated. This is against SR
