Sure... but I still want to know what happened to the missing emailed
birthdays cards. M sent N cards, S sent N cards but M and S
get a different number of cards because they are different ages.

Who is N ? And why do you think there would be any cards missing?


Androcles' equivalent of "tick fairies", apparently. As for
missing...Relativity adds up but the Twin Paradox does look
a little strange for those who think time should be the same
regardless of whether one's on the ground, a train, a plane,
a boat, a starship, or a satellite.

Time 'instant' is universal. Tiime 'flow' is universal. Time 'interval' is
universal.
'Now' here is NOW everywhere.

It is possible for S to include "Happy Birthday
M!" greetings in his datastream to M though. Of course
because of the time slowdown, assuming both were born on
January 1 for simplicity, S will have to send them on
various days of the year (his calendar).
