We call the thing you measure time with a 'clock'. It is implied (in
physics) when we talk about a general 'clock' that it is a correctly working
'clock' .. ie that it correctly measures (or marks) the time at its own
location in its own rest frame. so if a duration dt of time at a location
has elapsed, then a clock at that location will show a duration of exactly
dt as well.

This is very very simple and basic stuff.

Uh huh. So what about the marks on S and S'? They are not a clock
any more? That did not last long.

I said nothing about those marks. You havea great deal of trouble reading
and understanding .. that explains a lot.

However .. on the subject of such marks .. marks alone are not a clock (they
are a ruler) .. you would also need something moving past those marks at a
known rate, from that you can calculate the time. If you have correctly
measured distances between the marks (ie measured from a mutually-at-rest
observer .. ie the marks are not moving wrt the observer) and have correctly
measured the speed of the moving object, then clock will work and be
correct.

This does NOT change the fact the galilean transforms are proven incorrect
by experiments that show correctly working clocks do NOT show the same time
when those clocks are in relative motion.

Eric, I love your logic. Thank god we can move froward. Look forward
to future conversations.
