Default Albert Einstein the Doublethinker

One of the most pernicious lies in Einstein schizophrenic world:

Richard Muller, Prof Physics, UCBerkeley, author of "Now-Physics of Time" (2016): "Compared to an Earth-bound clock, the clock in a frame moving at velocity v progresses at a slower rate."

Einstein's relativity does not predict anything like that. Its prediction is that the moving clock progresses at a slower rate as seen by the Earth-bound observer, but at a FASTER rate as seen by the moving observer. In other words, Einstein's relativity says something about the OBSERVATIONS of the two observers (these observations contradict one another), but it says nothing about the RATE of any clock.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, the craftiest money-maker in Einsteiniana, goes even further:

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "We have ways of moving into the future. That is to have time tick more slowly for you than others, who you return to later on. We've known that since 1905, Einstein's special theory of relativity, which gives the precise prescription for how time would slow down for you if you are set into motion."

Einstein's relativity predicts just the opposite: Time will SPEED UP for you if you are set into motion. You will discover this by comparing the rate of your clock with the rate of a clock which has remained at rest.
