Just where do you see simultaneity in the above time dilation formula?
You don't. The claim in SR is that time is based on relative velocity
period. It says nothing here about allowing clocks to run for
different periods based on perception while in motion at some
distance.

Mac, have you read the
1905 paper? Look at section 1. The derivation of gamma, in section
3, requires the definition of simultaneity Einstein uses in section 1. So, simultaneity is in the equation, through the definitions used to derive gamma. You can't simply toss or ignore the definition of simultaneity found in the paper. What you have shown, is that if you ignore the definition of simultaneity found in SR, SR doesn't work. Why would that be a suprise?
