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
illuminates symmetrical assessments across inertial frames.
It's completely consistent with Einstein's relativity,
diagramming and explaining it in absolute terms.
The clock paradox (twins paradox) of special relativity
cannot be resolved without acknowledging an actual
hierarchy of clock rates dependent on an actual hierarchy
of inertial motion. And this we do in 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.

Relativity Trail was given a special place of honor at the Science Museum of Minnesota Bookstore,
front and center on their front table, greeting visitors as they walked through the front door.
