1. If one of the twin brothers rides on a rocket, makes a U-turn while moving at sub-light speed, and returns to meet again, the time progress of the one who moved by rocket will be delayed.

2. If the twin brothers ride on a rocket in the opposite direction, move at sub-light speed, make a U-turn at the same time, proceed in the opposite direction and meet again, the progress of both times will be the same.

Is it a contradiction of special relativity that asymmetric motion 1 and symmetric motion 2 are not the same?
