There are reasons why things happen, including motion. Now, I know you scientists are all impressed by having a train stand still and the railroad track moving. The problem with it is that it is not reality. The train is still what is moving. The reason for this is that the train cannot move the earth. When the wheels of the train are turned by the engine, the train moves, not the earth. This is just a scientific fact. That means the clock on the train is slower than the clock by the side of the railroad track. A clock in a satellite is slower than a clock on earth. A clock on Mercury is slower than time on the sun. If you cannot understand this, just keep asking about it. I can explain reality to you as many times as is necessary.

The clocks all run the same if none of them are moving. If two clocks are moving relative to each other, then both are moving relative to the center of gravity of the universe, and the center of gravity of the universe is S. The two moving clocks are S'1 and S'2.

And why will > they do that .. why don't the people at rest in those frames simply set the > clocks to the correct rate .. why do they let their clocks run slow or fast? Well, you may be able to confuse yourself, but it does not confuse me. I said S was a frame of reference at rest, and S' was a frame of reference in motion relative to S with a velocity of v. You want to flip frames of reference? The clock in S' is still slower than the clock in S. If you calculate speed using the slower clock, you will get a faster speed. This is called reality. I know it is difficult for scientists to understand.
