David: Einstein imagined moving away from a clock at the speed of light. The hands never changed position. Time is stopped. Proven in satellites.

You advance conjecture upon conjecture, like a house of cards?-Actually that one clock slows with respect to another does not prove relativity and time stopping at the speed of light as proven. It is evidence of corroboration of the theory of relativity.-Our other most corroborated theory ... quantum mechanics, is fundamentally not compatible with relativity.-I look forward to seeing which if not both these two theories gets disproven with time.
