Default The Secret to Einstein's Twin Paradox

Calculations done by Einsteinians always show that the moving clock is slow while the stationary one is fast. Why? Because Einsteinians use a biased scenario. In this scenario the moving system (spaceship, observer in it, observer's clock) is always modeled as point-like while the stationary system is spatially extended. As the moving point-like system traverses distances in the spatially extended stationary system, calculations show that the moving clock runs slower and the moving observer remains younger. For this scenario, special relativity does not allow calculations producing an alternative result.

For a scenario in which the stationary system is modeled as point-like, special relativity acts in an opposite way. Imagine that all ants spread out on the closed polygonal line have clocks and move with constant speed:

A single stationary ant, with a clock, is located in the middle of one of the sides of the polygon. As moving ants pass the single stationary ant, they check its (stationary) clock against their (moving) clocks. For this scenario, special relativity predicts that the single stationary clock will shows LESS AND LESS time elapsed than moving clocks consecutively passing it. This implies that the single stationary ant is getting YOUNGER AND YOUNGER than moving brothers it consecutively meets.

Clearly, the twin paradox is actually an absurdity, which means that the underlying premise, Einstein's constant-speed-of-light postulate, is false.
