No it is not !

The kid is moving relative to you and you are moving relative to the kid, this causes the “clock paradox” of the 1905 SR theory, which Einstein finally realized was wrong and he corrected it in his 1918 paper by adding accelerative effects, gravity fields, and atomic clocks.
As you have been told many times, in many threads, by many people;
GR is not a correction of errors in SR. It is an extension from the special conditions of SR to the general conditions of GR

Humans can’t accelerate fast enough to notice a biological time difference, because such a large amount of acceleration would crush them first.
Yeah, right! An acceleration of one gravity for one year would suffice to reach a significant fraction of the speed of light. Certainly enough for time dilation to be noticeable.

For information about "thermodynamic time in biology", look it up on Google. Many scientists explain it in their papers.
Yes, please do. And you will find that Sam5 does not understand it any better than he understands relativity.
