Neil deGrasse Tyson: "One of the towering great achievements of the human mind in our understanding of the universe is Einstein's theories of relativity. It makes only two assumptions: That the speed of light in a vacuum is constant no matter who is doing the measurement and no matter in what direction you are moving or how fast. You always get the same measurement for the speed of light. That's Assumption 1 which by the way the experiment has shown to be true. Assumption 2: The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another. Those are the only two tenets that you have to buy into. Given those two tenets, extraordinary spooky phenomena derive from them. For example: As you travel faster, time ticks more slowly for you than it does for other people who are not. The traveling twin when he comes back is only 5 years older, we have aged 110 years."

Note the statement
"As you travel faster, time ticks more slowly for you".
This is an exceptionally pernicious lie. Actually special relativity predicts the opposite:
As you travel faster, time ticks FASTER for you.
The special relativity's prediction is wrong of course but at least it VALIDLY follows from Einstein's 1905 postulates. Neil deGrasse Tyson's statement is non sequitur - its presence makes any rational analysis of the twin paradox virtually impossible.
Brian Greene and Brian Cox teach the same pernicious lie:

Brian Greene: "If you're moving relative to somebody else, time for you slows down."

Brian Cox (2:25) : "Moving clocks run slowly"
Is it profitable to destroy human rationality so mercilessly? Yes it is:

The hymn of rich victorious Einsteinians:
"Now, listen carefully. The faster you move, the heavier you get. Light travels at the same speed no matter how you look at it. No matter how I move relative to you light travels at the same speed. No matter who is doing the measurement and no matter what direction you are moving the speed of light is the same. The speed of light is the same no matter what direction or how fast... As you travel faster time slows down. Everything slows down. Everything slows down. Time slows down when you move. Time passes at a different rate. Clocks run slow. It's a monumental shift in how we see the world. It's a beautiful piece of science. It's a beautifully elegant theory. It's a beautiful piece of science. It's a beautiful piece..."
