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.

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.

I have done it before. I suspect you are using the wrong equation.
Does your answer show more time in S or in S'?
