In the world, approximately 1 in every 100 births results in twins, with 1/4 of those being identical twins. Identical twins are always of the same gender, and not only do they resemble each other in appearance, habits, and personalities, but their achievements often mirror each other as well.
Many pairs of twins have remarkably similar academic performances. Twin brothers Peter and Paulo both achieved excellent academic results, receiving outstanding awards in English, and both were accepted as graduate students in the same field of study.
The thought processes of twins are often quite alike. Twin sisters from New York, Rose and Naxi, both chose the same exam topics when graduating from high school, with their answers and handwriting being completely identical.
Identical twins Tim and Craig, both artists, often took turns drawing the same character for the animated film “Star Wars.” They were always satisfied with the results because they thought and expressed their ideas in the same way.
There is also the case of a pair of twin sisters who were separated during childhood. Years later, they arranged to meet at a train station. One sister decided to change her hairstyle to distinguish between them, but was astonished to find that her sister had also cut her hair short and dressed similarly, even wearing identical shoes and bags.

Professor Kaida from Romender University studied over 15,000 cases of identical twins and discovered some strange synchrony. They often contract the same illnesses and may even die at the same time. These phenomena in twins raise a series of questions: How do spiritual connections manifest? What information do they share? What causes them to “share suffering,” “have a common heart,” and “live and die together”? These are the issues that scientists are diligently trying to understand.
Scientific research indicates that the similarities between identical twins stem from the timing of the division of the fertilized egg. If the division occurs within the first 10 days, the children may be “mirror-image twins,” meaning one is left-handed while the other is right-handed; one has curly hair on the left side while the other has it on the right. If division occurs after 13 days, the result may be conjoined twins. The later the fertilized egg divides, the higher the degree of psychological and physiological similarity between the twins.
