Mr. Royce, could you please define what you mean by "real" in the sense that you've used it in your "proof"? You say "real clock rhythm", "real mass", and "real energy", but don't fully define those terms. Perhaps the root of the misunderstanding here is a difference in word usage? Maybe people on the list are missing your fundamental point because they aren't using the same words to mean the same things...
Yes, but please do it elsewhere. We don't need a discussion of physics here.
It doesn't matter a bit whether what Mr. Royce is saying is true or not. The only real question we need to ask is: can we find it in a textbook or similar?
To repeat, it is written in the well-regarded-by-all-physicists book _Spacetime Physics_ which was written by the esteemed physicist John A. Wheeler. (I even gave the exact page number as well as the words themselves.)
We don't _do_ physics on wikipedia, we merely report encyclopedically on the state of the subject.
