The "paradox" is that you do not understand even classical mechanics.

Well Ken, I guess you would know after 15 years of doing the same
yourself...

No....the SR math is the preferred frame math. The preferred frame
math is correct when the observer is in a lower state of absolute
motion than the observed clock. That's why the SR math is useful in
accelerator design applications. If the observed clcok is in a lower
state of absolute motion than the observer then the SR math is not
applicable and that's why SR math is incomplete.

Yeup. Same laws of physics in all frames.

In SR, Clocks at rest in any inertial frame shows the time in that frame,
and lengths of rulers at rest in that frame show lengths in that frame. LR
does not have that feature.

There is a preferred frame in LR. But the distortions of rulers and clocks
in LR mean that we cannot determine the preferred frame.

Something perhaps, but not some thing.

Why do you think that must be the preferred frame?

A quite different notion

ROTFLOL....you are an idiot.!!!!!!!! Here you don't even agree with
