I have stated that there is a mathematical contradiction in special relativity when you assume that all frames of reference are equally valid. I can create a mathematical model which shows the contradiction, but that would be too lengthy and demanding for this forum.

A stationary frame is not necessary to either special relativity or general relativity, although there are theories of relativity--that have not been completely refuted--that do have preferred reference frames. I'm suspicious of any claim that there are mathematical inconsistencies in SR and GR, expecially without backup. This board may not be the appropriate place to display such a mathematical argument, but a link would certainly be appropriate.

SeanF is exactly right. The twin paradox has been discussed several times on this board. Our beloved Grapes has a nice write up on this.
