The physical space‐time model of the extension of special relativity is shown, via algebra, to be the physical space‐time model that underlies special relativity per se. A new phenomenon is predicted that is not covered by special relativity per se.

Keywords: special relativity, extension of special relativity, clock paradox, twin paradox, time dilation, length contraction, black holes, Lorentzian geometry
