The rate at which time passes is independent of and does not respond to the direction of motion. There is no �forward/reverse� direction for time in space. The change in velocity (from the initially equivalent velocities) is the corner that when turned defines the dimensions of time (and space) for that reference frame.
The rate at which time passes would be restored when the velocity is restored to the initial velocity, (no relative motion between observers). Acceleration back to the point of origin is no different than acceleration in that direction from the point of origin as far as time dilation is concerned.
Remember; both observers would see their own clocks �ticking� at a constant rate (and the velocity of light equal to c) throughout this journey.
Right now, I�m imagining a group of scientists gathered around a computer monitor somewhere out there in cyberspace ltao while reading my �explanation� of time dilation.
Review:
Starting at rest (no relative motion) from point of origin-
Acceleration brings about time dilation-
The greater your velocity (with respect to point of origin) the greater the time dilation-
The longer this velocity is maintained the greater will be the loss of time your clock will accumulate and show when compared with the clock at the point of origin.
