Why bobby, the proof has been given to you repeatedly over the past 15
years! Furthermore, the proof is just as accessible to you as it is to me.

Why should I do so again when you didn't listen the previous thousand times?

Don't lie, Robert.

Galilean transforms show NOTHING of the sort. Gallilean transforms say
correct cloaks all run at the same rate, no matter how fast they are
travelling relative to some observer (or vice versa)

YOUR additional equations are about how clocks are slowed by being in
motion.

There is no n' in Galilean transforms. That is your addition

Only because you lie and refuse to answer question

So .. lets see if you are actually honest enough this time

So in what frame of reference are the clocks ticking at the 'correct'
rate, and not slowed by motion? What is the relationship between the
time shown on some clock moving in that frame, and the actual time in
that frame?

I know your equations are wrong. Glad to hear you admit it

And so your equation using t(1-v/c) for time in S' is wrong.

So .. given that the definition of a correct clock is one that shows the
time in the frame in which it is at rest .... what is the formula for the
time shown on a correct clock at rest in S' as observed by an observer at
rest in frame S ??

Can you answer that honestly? I doubt it. Prove me wrong.

The Galilean transformation equations account for the slower clock in
S' and put physical objects where they actually are. There is really
no better way to do it than that.

Yes, you do, Robert. This is obvious to both mathematicians and to
physicists.
Now, you may think that you understand how mathematics relates to
physics BETTER THAN mathematicians or physicists do.
But that would be the hallmark of an egomaniacal loon. And I'm not
sure you want to perpetuate that.
