Alternatively, make it out of something like rubber, and it will change shape without great stress or tearing.

Some additional cautions may be stated: A paper so oriented is not inertial, so you have to imagine some force holding it in place...

No, as measured locally by an accelerometer, or by design with preprogrammed propulsion systems. The aim is to demonstrate: 1)...

Yes, fixed now.

At time t, clock 1 sends a signal to clock 2, triggering clock 2 to send its time reading to clock 1. We are assuming the clocks...

Note, an invariant fact is that if you move the clocks away and then back together with identical acceleration profile, they will be in...

Something worth noting in these discussions is that isotropy can be assumed for some physical process unrelated to light, and this will...

I'll sum up my position: A given detector can measure KE of a test body (relative to that detector, of course) with no recourse to...

What matters is the relative motion of detector and body, not the details of frame construction (in particular, clock synchronization...

Then my point is proven: KE is a directly measurable local quantity that does not depend on clock synch (you don't even need one clock...

But that directly measured local quantity is the only thing that can sensibly be called KE. So perhaps you should say the Newtonian...

KE is dependent on relative velocity between detecter and particle. However, it not dependent on synchronization convention. It is, in...

I still see no explanation of how different synchronization convention can cause otherwise identical sand beds to result in different...

Sure it does. And if particles with identical motion are measured with 2 different calorimeters moving relative to each other, they will...

Really? How does a calorimeter depend on clock synchronization? Or, simpler, if crude, crater depth in 'standard sandy ground' ?
