In summary, Chris Hillmann was debunking the idea that time slows down in relativity theory and that everything is relative. He also emphasized the importance of understanding that there are no absolute facts in relativity, only facts that are dependent upon the coordinate system used. He also explained how one can compute what different observers will measure in specific scenarios using relativistic kinematics, which is incompatible with Galileo's kinematics.

OK, I think it's time to lock this thread. Jesse has done a fine job of presenting the mainstream view, but ultimately, by our formal written guidelines, Physics Forums is a place to explain mainstream science, not to debate it.

I believe that the explanation has been already done by Jesse in his past responses, and that this thread has crossed the line between a discussion and a "debate" - in particular a rather nonproductive debate.
