To a human being, proper times means the exposure of a phenomena vs.
the time it takes for the distant clock to measure a value.

SR calls absolute time as proper time. There is no difference between
proper time and absolute time. They both are invariant. The passage of
absloute time or proper time is independent of motion.

That quote represents the concept (a loose definition) of "time" in an
inertial frame, also known as "coordinate time".
The "(coordinate) time" is not "proper time". Our (me, seto)
discussion is about seto's use and definition of "proper time".

Lets keep to the subject at hand: seto's understanding of proper time.
Do not confuse him moreso.

Hey idiot even SR says that Observer A's clock second is worth 1/gamma
second on the observed clock B.

So are you saying that observer A doesn't predict that B runs slow by
a factor of 1/gamma? Do you realize that this is the same as saying
that B's clock second is worth gamma second on the A clock. You are
fucking stupid.

So are you saying that a second is a universal interval of time? IOW,
a clock second will have the same duration in different frames? How
does this agree with the SR prediction that observer A predicts B's
clock rate to be 1/gamma????

So are you saying that an SR observer does not predict every clock
moving wrt him is running slow by a factor of 1/gamma? You are an
idiot.

Burt a clock second is not a universal interval of time even in SR. In
SR the passage of A's second does not correspond to the passage of a B
second.

No that's a redefinition of the clock second to make it contain the
same amount of absolute time as the ground clock second.

So are you saying that a clock second in different frames have the
same duration....iow, the passage of a clock second in A's frame
corresponds to the passage of a clock second in B's frame?
