Special Relativity in absolute terms ..
.. reveals what is transpiring behind the scenes of Einstein's treatment. Relativity Trail diagrams Einstein's clock sychronization in absolute terms, explains the time-keeping differential, and ends all confusion regarding relative frames of reference. It's completely compatible with Einstein's relativity, diagramming and explaining it in absolute terms - eliminating the clock paradox and illuminating symmetrical assessments across inertial frames.

Citation and annotation for Relativity Trail
In a few words.. The absolute approach to relativity reveals the same thing that the relative approach assumes -- that there is no privileged frame of reference in which to conduct experiments. Thus, the absolutist and the relativist agree that one cannot detect one's motion status relative to the universe using electro- magnetic experimentation. It is meaningless to ascribe linear or rotational motion to the whole of the universe, considering that the universe has nothing to push off against. It is the baseline for the motion of its constituent parts. read more..
