Simple question about SR paradox

The whole point of SR is that you cannot detect absolute time through space. That is correct. That is why SR manifests the twins’ paradox. It is a paradox. It does not represent reality. It must be wrong. shrug Larmor was the first who proposed the Lorentz transform. However, his version is slightly different. In Larmor’s transform, one of the two observers must be the absolute frame of reference. The quantity ‘v’ in the transform is the absolute speed of the observer. To include another observer, Larmor’s transform must go through this absolute frame of reference where the absolute speed of each observer becomes ever so essential. Larmor’s transform in general does not satisfy the principle of relativity. In a very special case where both observers are moving in parallel with speeds relative to the absolute frame of reference, the absolute frame of reference vanishes. The quantity ‘v’ can now be expressed with the relative speed of the two observers. The principle of relativity only holds for this very special case. Not knowing this as a special case, Poincare assumed the validity in the Lorentz transform. The Lorentz transform was created with no physical basis of any validity. It is a Frankenstein in the making. shrug |
