The flaw in K?s logic is when he considers the earth to be the only ?stationary? object in the universe, and when he measures the ?speeds? of all objects relative only to the earth. This is a geocentric point of view, which Galileo did away with 500 years ago. |
So far as I can tell, you're the only one here who posits anything like a preferred reference frame.

There can be only one absolute oscillation rate of the atoms in the rocket.

Assuming everyone involved is in an inertial reference frame and is measuring when the rocket passes by them (so we don't get any annoying doppler effects) then there is a maximum oscillation rate (that measured by observers in the same reference frame as the rocket). Everyone else measures a lower oscillation rate.
This has been discussed
ad nauseum in perhaps half a dozen other threads; there is no point in doing so again. Sam5 seems incapable of either doing the math or believing the results.
