Default Obvious Absurdity of Einstein's Time Dilation

"This is the easiest and most practical way to get to the far future - go really fast. According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, when you travel at speeds approaching the speed of light, time slows down for you relative to the outside world."

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."

Time doesn't slow down for you if you are set into motion. Special relativity predicts just the opposite: Time SPEEDS UP for you. You will discover this by checking stationary clocks you pass by against your clocks. The comparison will show that stationary clocks are slow and your clocks are FAST:

David Morin, Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions, Chapter 11, p. 14: "Twin A stays on the earth, while twin B flies quickly to a distant star and back. [...] For the entire outward and return parts of the trip, B does observe A's clock running slow..."

The only reasonable solution to the problem is that time dilation does not exist and the underlying premise, Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate, is false.

Default Obvious Absurdity of Einstein's Time Dilation

"How can I find out what the moving clock reads an hour from now when it is no longer anywhere near me? Here's one procedu an observer sets up many clocks at rest with respect to a long platform that extends throughout space. Then, while a moving clock passes each one of those clocks, a friend notes what the moving clock reads and what the local resting clock reads; and so on for each of the clocks passed. From the friends' reports, the platform observer can figure out whether the moving clock has slowed or not."

According to special relativity, the platform observer will find that the moving clock has slowed. In this sense,

moving clocks run slow.

However, if the platform is moving so that its clocks consecutively pass a single stationary clock, the platform observer will find that moving platform clocks have speeded up and the stationary clock has slowed (according to special relativity). In this sense,

moving clocks run fast.

Einsteinians teach "moving clocks run slow" but don't even think of "moving clocks run fast", even though the latter conclusion is just as validly derivable from Einstein's 1905 postulates as the former.
