So even though you know you have spent 15 years having convinced nobody of
your cause, you still think you are right? Guess that 1 year of college sure
does trump the 4 of undergraduate study and 4-6 of PhD study of a normal
physicist.

Well, it does not matter how lazy I am if I have the right equations
to describe relativity. Your equations are still going to give the
wrong answers.

That is correct. Scientists invented nuclear weapons. Nuclear
weapons are their problem.

Well, you were one of them. All I know is you call yourself PD. So
how does your description of events differ from mine?
There is more time on the clock that is not moving. The clock in S'
is slower. This is something I have noticed about scientists. Even
when they say something that is identical to what I say, they do it in
a contentious manner, as though they are saying it in a better
manner. No, sorry, it does not matter whether you say that S has a
greater interval of time or that a clock in S is faster than a clock
in S'. You are nit-picking in an effort to pretend that you said
something different than what I said.

Well, you are the one claiming they give conflicting observations. Go
ahead and prove what you say.
