No idiot....it is not true for every clock. If A is predicted to run
faster than B then B must predict that A is running slower than A.
These conclusions are based on the GPS clock compared to the ground
clock. From the ground clock point of view the GPS clock is running
fast by a factor of 38 us/day. From the GPS point of view the ground
clock is approx. 38us/day running slow.

First of all no object in the universe is in the absolute frame...in
case you are too stupid to understand that means that A is not a
preferred observer. If A is truly running faster than B and C then
from B's or C's point of view A is running faster then B and C.

> But it IS true for B and C.

No its not true...B and C will predict that A is running fast by a
factor of gamma.

> In the frame where B is at rest, B is running faster than A and C.

No....B is never run faster than A. This assertion is based on the
bogus SR assertion that B is adopting the laws of physics of the
absolute frame.

No, Ken, that is not the case. I realize that this what makes sense to
you, but it is not the case. Your common sense is telling you a lie.

This is really basic stuff, and you're stuck on it.

The GPS is not an example of this, because they are not two clocks
moving INERTIALLY with respect to each other. The statement in
relativity is NOT that all clocks moving relative to a clock at rest
run slow. The statement is that clocks moving INERTIALLY relative to
another clock will run slow. The GPS satellite is not an example of
this statement and so can't be used to test this statement.

However, there are lots of experimental tests that show that the
following is true:
In the frame where clock A is at rest, then clock B moving relative to
A will run slow. In the frame where clock B is at rest, then clock A
will run slow.
This is experimentally demonstrated, even though you think to
yourself, "But that can't be."

When your common sense comes in conflict with experimental
demonstration, then it's your common sense that is wrong somehow.

No, Ken, this is wrong. It is not only predicted that A will run
SLOWER than B in B's frame, but it is MEASURED that A does in fact run
slower than B in B's frame.

No, it is not an empty assertion. It is an experimentally demonstrated
FACT.
You can deny reality all you want, but reality does not conform to
your common sense, Ken.

What your common sense is telling you is a LIE, Ken, and you have to
force yourself to abandon it. It's the only way you'll start to make
sense of what is actually OBSERVED in fact.
