No wormy...all relative motions are derived from individual motion.
For example if you change your state of individual motion by
acceleration you will have changed all the observed relative motions
in the universe.
There is no time dilation....there is a clock second contains a
different amount of absolute time in different frames (different
states of absolute motion). Also there is no physical length
contraction. There is: a meter stick has different light path length
in different frames (different states of absolute motion).

Yes, it IS wrong

SR says nothing about any ether frame.

And the same is true for every inertial frame, so it is no easier in that
frame. And transforming back and forth to the supposed ether frame makes it
harder.

No .. it is not why

But yes, they have the same math for what measurements one would get.

Ken you live in a different conceptual world than most of us. I'm
not saying that is necessarily bad or good. But can you make calculations
that match observations?

For example, can you calculate what many call "time dilation" for
an earth satellite clock in orbit around the earth in a circular
orbit (eccentricity, e = 0) at an altitude of 202 km above mean
sea level?

I can do it with general relativity derivations. Can you calculate
it with whatever methods you use?

Sure look up the IRT gravitational time dilation equation in the
following link:

They are. All inertial ones that is.

What would give you that silly idea. If there was an ether, and if it had
such a thing as a unique rest frame frame, and if that frame was inertial,
then it would be no different to any other inertial frame as far as SR is
concerned. Its just one of an infinite number of such frames, and you've
just stuck the label "ether frame" on it. It needs no special treatment.
Of course, SR says nothing about there being such a frame .. it doesn't need
to
