Here what every SR observer claims in every text book: All the clocks
moving wrt an SR observer are running slow by a factor of 1/gamma.
From that SR claims the exclusive property of the absolute rest frame
and thus SR is using the absolute frame to do physics.
You really need to do a little of your own thinking instead of blindly
following what the books say.

It doesn't matter whether YOU think it is a valid definition or not,
Ken. What matters is what the definition of the term is AS USED IN
PHYSICS.

It doesn't do any good to splutter, "But my definitions are just as
valid for all those terms as the ones physicists use. I just reject
the physics definitions, and use mine instead because they are valid
definitions to me." If you do this, you might as well be speaking
Japanese. No one will understand what you're talking about.

If it's measured, Ken, it's real. It doesn't matter whether it
conflicts with your common sense. If your common sense conflicts with
measurement, then it's your common sense that needs fixing, not the
measurement.

This has been explained to you hundreds of times. There are ample ways
to establish and measure a relative speed directly, without having to
assume that relative speed is the difference between two absolute
speeds. The latter is simply not necessary. It is spurious baggage. To
you, it's indispensable, and so you cling to the unnecessary notion,
because it's the only way you can understand it. You have to let it
go. It is unnecessary garbage. Learn how to establish relative
velocity DIRECTLY.

So current physics denys that the fastest running clock in the
universe is not a prefeered clock? I don't think so. It is more likely
that you have a naive understanding of current physics.:-)
