We've already discussed this, too. (We both need that Evelyn Woods course)
That's just relativity. Different reference frames are allowed. In one reference frame, he moves. In another, he doesn't.

Well, look, I assume Bob is “not moving” relative to his clothes, but you have him moving relative to “at home”, so he will experience some acceleration, so you can force his atomic clock to tick slower than Ann’s, so don’t you think you should tell your readers that he really is “moving” relative to "at home", rather than “not moving”? |
Eh?
Let's see,
here's the page...
In the middle of the second paragraph, it says "Ann stays at home and Bob rockets away at 3/5 light speed."
In the first sentence of the third paragraph, it says "What if we make the step to general relativity, and insist on analyzing the situation as if Bob did not move at all?"
What are you missing?
