Slow
or fast. It works both ways.
The point is that the only way to avoid event-meshing failures is for some "times" to run slow (which means they are merely providing apparent time) under the governance of a superior time (absolute time). The model does not allow that though, so event-meshing failure occur when you simulate it and the model invalidates itself. It is mathematically incompetent.
Because it is simpler. There is only one difference between modern aether theory and relativity: aether theory proposes the existence of an aether that cannot be proven to exist, and relativity does not.
It isn't simpler - if fills a gap with magic and then asserts that the magic is simpler than aether, but the magic represents a complex aether built out of an infinite number of aethers which all govern the speed of light differently from each other such that every pulse of light moves at an infinite number of speeds relative to itself at all times in order to pander to the idea of equal validity for all frames of reference rather than simply having one that represents reality correctly while all the rest misrepresent it. Also, the aether (space fabric) can be shown to exist.
Imagine two objects moving at 0.5c relative to each other along a straight line. We introduce a pulse of light which moves along the same line at c relative to the first object. The speed of that light is 0.5c or 1.5c relative to the second object (depending on which direction along the line that object is moving in). STR denies that measurement and insists that the correct relative speed for the light and second object is c, but if the relative speed of the light to both objects is c, the two objects cannot be moving at 0.5c relative to each other: their relative speed to each other would have to be zero.
What’s going on here? Well, Einstein bans you from accepting some measurements between light and objects that travel at lower speed than c. He requires you to change frame to make the second object stationary, and only then will he accept the relative speed for the light and that object. In that new frame, the relative speed between the light and the first object is now 1.5c or 0.5c, but again he bans you from accepting that measurement. So, he mixes frames to get the two measurements which he wants to make so that they conform to his bonkers theory, and he rejects all measurements that disagree with his ideology. In the course of changing frame, he changes the speed of the light relative to both objects, or he has the light move at two different speeds relative to itself. In doing so and mixing frames, he is making an illegal mathematical move.
Let's look at another case:-
Picture an observer watching two ships in the distance which are passing each other, one moving towards him and the other moving away from him. The two ships each put out a flash of light at the moment when when they are side by side. These two flashes of light travel alongside each other all the way to the observer who sees them both arrive simultaneously. How did the two flashes of light know to travel at the same speed as each other? Did they decide to travel at c relative to one ship rather than the other ship? Did they decide to travel at c relative to the observer? They aren't going to know how the observer's moving until they reach him, so they can't do that. Also, we can have some of the light pass the first observer and be seen by a second observer further away who is moving relative to the first observer along the same line as all the rest of the action, so is the light supposed to move at c relative to that observer too?
Einstein would have you believe that the speed of the light is c relative to both observers, but that would mean the two observers couldn't be moving relative to each other. There could also be observers on the two ships who see the flashes pass them, and again Einstein wants the speed of that light to be c relative to them. He is trying to have an infinite number of contradictory things all happen at the same time. In reality, the speed of the light is c relative to the space fabric and needn't be c relative to any of the ships or observers at all. As soon as you deny the space fabric and its absolute frame, you lose the ability to govern the speed of the light from one flash to make it move at the same speed as the light from the other flash: each flash would have to travel at c relative to the ship that it was emitted from, so the light from one flash would reach the observer before the light from the other flash. Einstein's insistence that the speed of light is always c relative to any observer is nothing more than a contrived mathematical abstraction, and it breaks fundamental rules by tolerating contradictions - if he has the light move at c relative to all ships and observers, he has it moving at four speeds relative to itself.
For your example to be valid, you would need to take into account that the clocks can only meet if they change their inertial frame of reference, and the change in inertial frame of reference causes a change in the apparent passage of time.
The clocks are fully capable of passing each other and comparing their timings while they're at the same location as each other without caring which frame of reference any mad physicist is trying to apply to them. They provide direct facts with these timings, and these facts reveal their absolute speeds of travel.
It doesn't work. Any measurement of timing has to be performed at some reference point, and the timing difference you observe will depend on your reference point.
We can sit half way between the two clocks and send radio/light signals in from the two clocks to show us how fast they're ticking. The trip taken by these signals is constant, so the frequency won't change in transit. If we are at rest in our local space, the expansion of space means that the two clocks aren't, so they'll both tick slow, but they'll both tick equally slow, confirming that we are at rest in the local space. However, if one of the two clocks is the one at rest in its local space fabric, we are moving thorough our local space fabric and the other clock is moving through its local space fabric twice as fast as we are, so that clock will be ticking slower than the first clock. Our slowed functionality will lead to it looking as if the first clock is ticking fast, but the other clock will look as if it's ticking slow. Again, this allows us to pin down our absolute speed. If there are no timing differences and no clocks are ticking slow, then the space the experiment is being run in cannot be expanding.
