In a recent viXra posting, David Bower identifies an unresolvable paradox in special relativity involving the Lorentz transformation. Three or more reference frames with different velocities could create multiple rates of time for each. Paradoxes are an inherent problem with special relativity. They occur in all cases. The source of the conflict is the one-dimensional consideration of light and time in linear motion when they're innately three-dimensional constituents. Simply abandoning light's (presumed) constancy and recognizing its (factual) compounding with motion, and variability, completely eliminates all paradoxes. But this practical real-world resolution would undermine relativity's founding premise, which would in turn invalidate nearly all of it, along with all other ancillary theories that are based on light's (untenable) fixed velocity, including the Lorentz transformation.
