A clock second is not a universal interval of time.
What does this mean?
It means that the passage of a clock second in A's frame does not
correspond to the passage of a clock second in B's frame. In other
words, 1 A clock second has different duration than 1 B clock second.
This revelation has the following consequences:
1. In the Twin paradox situation a traveling clock second accumulated
during the journey of the traveling clock cannot be compared directly
with a stay at home clock second to reach the conclusion that the
traveling clock (twin) is younger.
2. The speed of light as defined by a local clock second is not a
universal constant as claimed by SR. Instead it is a constant math
ratio in all every SR observer's frame as follows:
Light path length of ruler (299,792,458 m long physically)/the
absolute time content for a clock second co-moving with the ruler.

This new definition for the speed of light gives rise to a new theory
of relativity called IRT. IRT includes SR as a subset. However, unlike
SR, the equations of IRT are valid for use in all environments,
including gravity. A paper on IRT entitled "Improved Relativity Theory
and Doppler Theory of Gravity" is available in my website:

Self-referencial, useless and a signature of cowardice,dumbness and
every undesirable trait a human being can have as opposed to the
system which creates the equable day,hour and minute.

Make a statement in sci.relativity and everyone begs questions,do it
in saa and you get an astronomical education on the links between
timekeeping systems and the raw planetary dynamics from which these
conveniences emerged.

'Time travel',something that could be found in any science fiction
section of a bookstore in the late 19th century -

"‘Scientific people,’ proceeded the Time Traveller, after the pause
required for the proper assimilation of this, ‘know very well that
Time is only a kind of Space" H.G. Wells

The guys here will give you a decent education between natural noon
and the average 24 hour day as Isaac tried to relate it or
rather,remove the indoctrination -

"Absolute time, in astronomy, is distinguished from relative, by the
equation or correlation of the vulgar time. For the natural days are
truly unequal, though they are commonly considered as equal and used
for a measure of time; astronomers correct this inequality..." Newton

You poor creatures are caught in a labyrinth conjured up by Newton for
although he appears to promote the accurate distinction between clock
noon and natural noon,Isaac followed the framework of Flamsteed which
worked off a 'sidereal time' or Ra/Dec monstrosity.I not only know the
ins and outs of the antecedent geocentric astronomies,the astronomies
based on planetary dynamics and the erors and distortions of the late
17th century empiricists which led to the nightmare of 'time travel'
as something actual,but also I am well aware how modern imaging and
data obliterates the foolish ideologies which no longer find interest
with the exception of a few hopeless people like yourself.

The idea of 'all motion is relative' is basically the stated
observation of Flamsteed that any point on the Earth surface can
served as a basis for explaining planetary dynamics through right
ascension,this following motion in other words -

It also represents the loss of planetary dynamics for a silly wordplay
that shows people don't even understand Newton let alone the genuine
astronomers.

De do do do, de da da da

A clock second is an invention of humans.

An example of universal constant, on the other hand, is
the speed of light/gravity which is totally independent
of humans.

Furthermore, Einstein showed in 1905 that neither time
nor distance is absolute or fixed. Foe experimental con-
firmation, see:

Sam, that link you posted is pretty bad, sort of a laymans perceptions
of physics but not the real thing.

You want to know the experimental basis of special Relativity. Check
any textbook on cyclic particle accelerator design. As the particle
being accelerated (say a proton) is accelerated to higher and higher
levels of enegy, guss what, it gains mass. Neglect the relativistic
gain in mass and your accelerator will not function.

Here are some credible references on how to design a high energy
particle accator:

Livingood, Principles of Cyclic Particle Accelerators, Van Nostrand,
New York
Livingston and Blewett, Particle Accelerators, McGraw-Hill, New York

This list of quality, factual, scientific publications goes on and
on. That's why the large partical accelators function. The take into
design consideration the mass increase with acquired energy just a
predicted by good old Albert Einstein. In fact, the magnetic field in
a cyclic particle accelerator is ramped up precisely in accordance
with the particles gain in mass as it make multiple circuits around
the machine.

I'm pretty familair with this subject, since as a grad student, I was
responsible for the tune-up computations for the PPA back in the
1960s. In this machine, protons were injected using a linear
acceleration at an enery of 3-Mev, then accelerated to a terminal
energy of 1-Gev before smashing into a heavy metal plate to produces a
spray of mesons and other strange particles.

I was trying to remember the relativist mass increase as a particle
like a proton is accelerated from 3-Mev to 1-Gev, but I couldn't find
my records (which of course stored in a safe place -- and you have to
be over 65 to understand what that means). It's easily computed, and
for some reason the figure 1800 to 1 comes into mind, but don't quote
me on that.

Now here is the show stopper. Good old Albert predicted "c" as a
limiting velocity for any mass, and guess what happens in a particle
accerator: As the particle packet approaches "c", it's orbital
frequency approaches a constant value, and the machine is designed to
accomodate this. Hence, it is experimental evidence that no matter
how much energy you put into accelerating a mass particle of any type,
its limiting velocity is '"c". When you pump in addition energy, it
doesn't travel any faster, and simply gains mass.

SR worked then, and a particle accelerator is pretty good experimental
evidence for that fact My guess is that SR still works now!
