Yes based on the prediction of SR. I of course contest the unsupported assumption that this is the case.

Noting that the above does not include any place where Alex's stopped clock reads 9,000 or that Bob and Clara's stopped clocks read 2,574.
I do not understand this 'stopped clocks' thing. Can you clarify please?

Is it a condition (something like "when X (happens), then (do) Y")?

Is it an observation (something like "my clock reads Z")?

Or is it something completely different?

In any case, how do these 'stopped clocks' enable Alex, Bob, or Carla (or any combo) to observe anything?
