I have. You keep asking for incidentals that don't define the
preferred frame.

What are the properties of a mammal? How many legs does a mammal have?
Answer those two questions and you'll see what you're doing.

This is counter to experimental measurements from stellar sources.

No it does not. "Fastest running clock in the universe" is an absolute
statement. "Other clocks moving wrt to him are running slow" is a
statement specific to a particular frame. You cannot derive an
absolute statement from one that is true in a particular frame.

First of all, the statement accurately said is NOT that "all clocks
moving wrt him are running slow". The correct statement is that "all
clocks moving INERTIALLY with respect to an INERTIAL observer are
running slow". This sets some boundaries where you can have two clocks
moving with respect to each other, but not inertially, and in those
cases mutual time dilation does not follow as an expected consequence.

You obviously don't know what "proper length" means to a physicist.
What do you think it means?

It is not a material contraction. It is a geometric, physical effect.

I don't know why you would continue to repeat this mistake when you've
been told over and over and over again that this is not the meaning of
"physical". Why do you insist on hanging on to mistakes?

No, I did not. You apparently cannot read and understand a sentence
written in English.

No, it does not.

Hey idiot...they are not incidentals. They define the exclusive
properties of the preferred frame.

It is not counter to experimental measurements. Light from stellar
sources are frequency shifted and the shift is due to different
arrival of the speed of light.

That's why I said that SR adopts the exclusive properties of the
preferrd frame.....every SR observer claims that all the clocks in the
universe are running slow and thus his clock is the fastest running
clock in the universe.

Why not? if that particular observer claims that all the clocks in the
universe are running slow???
