SRT.

Minkowski spacetime was born in SRT.
In SRT gravity is absent.

Not quite.

In the center of the Earth, gravity is also absent.
But its effects, the slowing of the clock, are at its most.

But because it is "flat", this is ignored.

Time is nothing but a manifestion of motion.
Motion is controlled by inertia.

A clock is an inertiameter.

In SRT, inertia increases also, because our inertiameters slow down, as
our speed increases.


Well that appears correct, but what about simple time dilation
shown in the following link. Because the apparently the photon's speed
does not increase in the moving frame, it does not arrive in the same time
as in the non-moving frame:

This effect is a property of the mass that surrounds us, and this mass
consist of the entire universe.
