Your group certainly has many creative ideas regarding Einstein and Relativity.  Unfortunately, nearly all of the assumptions are not correct.

The Earth provides wonderful evidence for us, moostly because we have really accurate data rwegarding its (Equatorial) diameter and its precise sidereal rotation period.

Specifically regarding your discussions:

Someone standing at the North Pole does not have "velocity" nor "acceleration" and so the Lorentz-Fitzgerald (beta) factor is exactly ONE.  (velocity is ZERO).

Fine.  The more interesting situation is for a man standing at the Equator.  He DOES have a precisely known (v) there and so it is easy to calculate the Time Dilation Factor to be 0.999 999 999 998 796 560

And so everyone ASSUMES that he would EXPERIENCE Time Dilation there.  There are TWO major errors in those assumptions.  (a) HE would not experience any Relativity issues, and only the OBSERVER at the North Pole (motionless) would SEE any such effects.  Nearly everyone is wrong about this error.

(b) the other error in assumptions is due to everyone IGNORING General Relativity, which happens to have its own time-rate effect.  It is called the Equivalency Principle.  (Surprisingly) this effect happens to be the OPPOSITE of Special Relativity's Time Dilation.  Thaht calculation (onn Earth) is also easy and precise to  do, and it is 1.000 000 000 001 203 440

Oddly enough, since BOTH Relativity time-rate effects must constantly apply to our guy att the Equator, we must MULTIPLY these two effects to find the ACTUAL Relativity time-rate effect for that guy at the Equator.  That simple product is EXACTLY ONE.

In other words, the ACTUAL effect due to BOTH forms of Relativity exactly cancel each other out.  There is NO DIFFERENCE in time rate between the guy at the North Pole nd anyone at the Equator, or anywhere else on Earth.

Only when someone is in a Non-Inertial Reat Frame, that is, accelerating, will an OBSERVER see any time-rate effects.
