Paul, all you can do is recite the math like a zombie.

A very interesting statement.
When you see math, you assume it must be written by a zombie
since you don't understand it.

The whole point
of this thread was to see if any relativist could explain the cause of
time dilation when the speed is the same. No one has even tried because
they can't.

This statement shows that you don't know what "time dilation" is,
so I am telling you:

If you claim otherwise, then you better give another
explanation of why the mean lifetime of a muon can be measured
to have two different values when it is measured in two different
frames of reference.

Paul, It's hard to imagine anyone replying with so little comprehension.
No one is contesting the length.
You have told me that time dilation is the difference in the lifetime.
You are interpreting the different lifetimes as time dilation.
That is not what time dilation is.
You are dodging the question of what causes it.
That's the whole point of this thread.
