Default Utter Confusion in the Einstein Cult

Two quotations taken from Quantum Time Twist Offers a Way to Create Schrödinger’s Clock https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...ingers-clock/:

"The faster you travel, the slower time appears to pass."

This is both nonsense (appears to whom?) and non sequitur (doesn't follow from Einstein's 1905 postulates). Here is what validly follows from the postulates:

The faster you travel, the slower your time appears to pass to stationary people, and the FASTER your time appears to pass to yourself, as you check stationary clocks your spaceship pass against your spaceship's clocks.

"“We know from Einstein’s special theory of relativity that when a clock moves relative to another clock, the time shown on it slows down,” Smith says."

Smith doesn't know what he is talking about. It follows from Einstein's 1905 postulates that the time shown on the moving clock slows down only as judged from the stationary clock's system. As judged from the moving clock's system, however, the time shown on the moving clock SPEEDS UP (compared with the time shown on the stationary clock).
