And if you suppose that clock A is in frame of reference S', and clock B is in frame of reference S, then clock A is slower than clock B So if you name the frame that clock A is in as S you get B as slower, and if you label it as S', then A is slower So it all depends on whether you label the rest frame of a clock as S or S' ... ie it depends on an arbitrary assigning of a label. That's not physics .. that's nonsense. Try again

You didn't answer the question So clocks that move will not show the correct time .. they will show a slowed time n', instead of the correct time t'. Yes?

How do you know which pair of the infinite number of inertial reference frames that exist that the gallilean transforms apply to at a given time? What transform applies to the REST of the inertial reference frames in the universe?
