If only your theories worked in practice. I can only assume they don't because of realty's unfair bias against you.I am the best theoretical physicist this chitty little rock called Earth as ever seen !
My talents are greatly wasted ...
(That comment excludes Tesla , he was great )

You do understand that the light clock shows exactly how special relativity predicts time dilation? Because, when the clock is moving, you get a triangular path, which is longer than the simple up-down path when it's stationary (wrt an observer's frame of reference). When we combine that with the observed phenomenon that the speed of light is constant in all frame of reference, time dilation follows from simple maths.
What's more important is that the effect has been observed in experiments and is used in technology and it is exactly as predicted by the theory.
I drew the zig zag line didn't I ? I understand the parlor trick and that is why I easily demonstrated it is incorrect and a parlor trick .
The trick is that Einstein always puts a 1.s...
...imaginary frame in and the action is within that frame .
You have demonstrated nothing.
No, he didn't.
Back to word salad...
if you want to get into more details , the 1.s frame remains constant and the angular path means the light has to travel a greater distance than the 1.s frame so it seems like time slows down if we was to use some parlor trick semantics .
Look the zig-zag path is longer. The speed of light is the same, therefore, light takes longer to travel the zig-zag than the simple up-down. Even you should be able to see that - even if you can't do the maths to derive the exact formula.
And again - the important thing is that experiments and technology agree with Einstein. You are simply wrong - get over it.
Light takes more time to travel a longer length !
Yes. If the clock is stationary (in some reference frame) then it only has to travel up and down. If the clock is moving, it has to travel the zig-zag path - which takes it longer. Therefore, if I observe a moving clock, I observe time going slower than if I was stationary relative to the clock.
The 0.5s is irrelevant
Your whole post is irrelevant. This is a thought experiment - how you observe it doesn't matter. What matters is that you can use the thought experiment to derive the formula for time dilation (you actually only need Pythagoras and basic algebra) and then use that to predict the results of real experiments.
This has been done and the predictions have been proved to be accurate. That's how science works. That's how we know Einstein was right and James Blunt is wrong. You can't use waffle on a forum to argue against the results of real experiments in the real world. You are arguing against reality itself.
No, you are talking crap , I've already told you and demonstrated that there is no change in time , no time dilation . I will prove it some more .
As I said, ill-informed waffle on a forum is not a demonstration - the actual experiments are demonstrations. If you can't see why words on a forum don't stand up against real experiments, you're totally beyond hope as far as science goes.

Nope !
