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:

In the photon bouncing sillyness,
The secondary frame that sees the photon traveling further
should stop ignoring the longer distance it is seen to travel
and that the relative speed of that photon would have to have changed.
According to the moving observer the photon traveled a further
distance per the same "bounce" time.
So that page is actually proof lightspeed is not constant to
all and there is no time dilation going on at all there.
That page proves lightspeed is relative but confuses it for
the bounce time changing rate when it does not change rate
at all.
