Marcel, you should take some time to learn what special
relativity really says. One cannot have more than one
perspective simultaneously. There has yet to be an observation
that contradicts a prediction of special relativity.

Why no, it's really very simple. The problem is, you're trying to make
it apply between one pair of events. And in that case, yes, it's
nonsensical. But that's not what SR says at all about mutual time
dilation. Mutual time dilation applies between TWO distinct pairs of
events with special criteria in each frame. Any nonsensibleness about
it has simply to do with your shallow understanding of what it means,
and your consequent misunderstanding of it.

???

There is no contradiction.

Not so, Marcel. People just try to explain that the comic-book level
statements you take to be true in relativity are not exactly what
relativity really says. You then claim that this means people are
modifying relativity. Nothing has been modified. All that's being
stated is that your shallow grip is not correct.

The Lorentz transform predicts both 'mutual time dilation'
and 'one twin will be younger than the other', it is
is no contradiction between the two.

Strictly according to the Lorentz transform:

I challenge you to point out the inconsistency.

That would contradict the Lorentz transform. <boo>

I will take up your challenge for the n’th time, and if you continue
to cowardly stay away from the discussions, please do not bring up
this challenge again, OK?

Right off the bat, you have grossly violated the very foundation of
SR. That is the relative simultaneity in which it makes no sense to
coherently identify events, observed in another frame of reference
where v != 0, in a chronological order.

Please present analysis showing both A and B at rest initially, moving
apart, and getting back together. Please show mathematics from both
A’s and B’s point of view. Please also including the scenario where A
and B move apart with identical acceleration profile leaving a period
where both A and B are coasting away or towards each other with no
acceleration.

It comes from aplpixcation of the transform in the case where one is
accelerating differently to the other.

Do the math

Wrong

Wrong .. you can very coherently identify events. But the order may differ
depending on the observer. However, each observer has a coherent ordering
of events.

There are numerous such analysis available .. don't tell me you've never
bothered to read one?

Why?
