A clock showing 'Correct time' means (by defintion) the clock shows
the actual time in S' .. which is what t' means (also by
definition) .. the time in S'.

So either

1) Galilean transforms are correct and so the correct time n' is the
same as the correct time t' that Galilean transforms predict. ie n' =
t' and every correct clock in S; shows t'

or

2) Galilean transform are incorrect and the correct time n' is not the
same as the time t' that Galilean transform predict. ie n' <> t' and
no correct clock in S; shows t'

Which is it? Lets see what your answer already is ...

>  There is no clock in S' that shows

OK .. so your answer then is 2) Galilean transforms are incorrect.
Thanks for clearing up your position.

So there is a special frame which you call S where clocks are the
fastest, and in all other frames clocks are slower. And so the
relationship between what clocks show is NOT the Galilean transforms.

Correct?

You tell me .. you are the one claiming Galilean transforms apply to
time (ie time is the same in all frames because t' = t for any pair of
frames) but we know real clocks do not show this. How does time
itself differ from what a clock says?

In the x'=x-vt
and in the t'=t.
x', x, v, t, t' are all MEASURED quantities. They come about by using
MEASURING instruments.
When you put the MEASURED values of x, v, t in the first equation, you
find that it does not match the MEASURED value of x'.
Likewise, the MEASURED value of t does not match the MEASURED value of
t'.

So that's where the Galilean transformation equations do not match
experimental results.

It's really quite simple, Robert.

Well, no, actually we don't, because that is a horribly unreliable and
imprecise way to specify time. That's why we don't use it.

Yes, but in S it takes one amount of time, and in S' it takes another
amount of time. According to time standards. And those standards are
not tied to the rotation of the Earth.

It's really very simple.

You asked me a question, and I answered it, Robert. I really don't
care if it didn't prove anything to you. It couldn't be proven to you
that the sky is blue if it was a scientist that told you it was so.
You'd go on your whole life believing it was not blue.

So recapping:
- It's pretty plain that not everything has a center at all.
- So it's simply not true that "everything has a center of gravity"
and the universe is the sole exception.
- The universe is one of many things that does not have a center, and
hence do not have a center of gravity.
- Your statement that the fastest clock would be at the center of
gravity of the universe is gibberish.

I think that's pretty plain now. Don't you?
