    Once again, your supposed 'paradox' is due to your attempt to mix
    Newtonian physics and SR in the same problem. You need to use GR throughout.

    Of course I have tried using GR throughout and I still get the same paradox.
    No, you do not. You use Newtonian physics to calculate the period of
    earth's orbit in the frame of the observer moving at .867c, not GR.

    Don't believe me? Then try using GR throughout yourself and prove me wrong.

    It is your extraordinary claim, it is up to you to prove it correct, not
    anyone else to disprove it. And:

    I believe you.

    So which conclusions can we draw from the result
    of you attempt to use SR?
