You clearly do not understand what a postulate is.  Let me see if I can
summarize for you Einstein's 1905 paper on special relativity:

He says, Experiments with magnets and conductors indicate that if we
ASSUME that two things are true, then we get a THEORY that does not 
require a luminiferous ether in order to measure motion.   Those two
ASSUMPTIONS (also known as "postulates") are: (1) All experiments 
work the same way in a closed inertial system, and (2) Light is always
emitted at c regardless of the speed of the emitter.   Those two 
ASSUMPTIONS may appear to be contradictory, but the THEORY to be
described will show that they are NOT contradictory. 

Then Einstein begins describing his theory in TEN different sections. 
each describing a part of the THEORY.  I'll just mention a few of them.

In the first section he describes "simultaneity"  and how things may
sometimes seem simultaneous when in reality they are not.  It all
depends upon how you view time.

The second section is about lengths and times.  The faster you travel,
the less time it takes to get from point A to point B.

In the fourth section he describes why "a balance-clock at the equator 
must go more slowly, by a very small amount, than a precisely similar 
clock situated at one of the poles under otherwise identical conditions."
It is because time ticks at a slower rate at the faster moving equator.
 
In the tenth section he describes how an electron gains mass when it
is forced to move.  That force slows down time for the electron.  And 
there isn't enough force in the universe to make the photon travel at
the speed of light.

I could explain the other sections, too, but the point is: a postulate is
an ASSUMPTION used to develop a THEORY.  The THEORY is about how
light and time work.  There are NO POSTULATES described in the theory, 
the theory describes how things work IF the postulates are true.

Ed, just to make a small point here: jotting down what a postulate says,
from some source you looked up, doesn’t mean much if you don’t know what
the words mean. 

Here, I’m going to take the easy gamble that you don’t actually know what
“closed system” means and what “inertial system” means. Guessing here would
not be a good idea.

Nah. What it does require is reading the works of physicists, because it’s
language devised by them for purpose. Whether you don’t care for it is
irrelevant. If you don’t want to discuss physics intelligently, then
there’s absolutely no pressure to learn any physics. If you do want to
discuss physics intelligently, though, it’s going to be a requirement.

For the purpose of brainwashing new generations
of the morons like themself; sure. But that no way 
means they know what the words mean. Sorry.

Well, you're an idiot, sure, but I think you're still able to
guess how much I care for your requirements.

Of course it does. Jargon is created by the members of the community for
their internal communication. What the world outside that community uses is
irrelevant to that, and they don’t have to communicate with the physics
community if they don’t want to.

Well, since you are not part of the physics community, they don’t care what
you think anyway. So that’s fine. You won’t communicate intelligently about
physics because you don’t know physics language and that’s just dandy.

No, poor idiot, it is not. If a jargon of nazis is calling
AH " a great, ingenious leader" - it is relevant. You're not
calling AH like that when talking to them just because 
they do. Or do you, poor halfbrain?

It's quite similiar with nazis: if you don't want to call AH like
they do - they won't talk to you. They will just scream of
your vodka, or alike.

No, stupid Mike. You're of course too dumb to notice,

No, that’s not an example of jargon. 

You can look that word “jargon” up. 

It’s no wonder you don’t like jargon, you don’t even know what the word
means.

Because an idiot woodworker says so? If
"proper"  is - why not "great" or "ingenious",
poor halfbrain?

So you can. No wonder you spread your nonsenses
about jargon, you don’t even know what the word means.

Because in the community of Nazis, “great” and “ingenious” are not taking
special meanings specific to that community. 
On the other hand, “proper time” DOES take special meaning special to the
community of physics.
Duh. 

As mentioned before, if you don’t know what “jargon” means, you can look
that word up.

How do you know?

Only such an idiot can believe such a nonsense.
The truth is - while nazis believe AH was a great
and ingenious leader - your bunch of idiots believe
that the mad concepts of your insane guru are
proper. No significant difference. Sorry, poor 
halfbrain.

Stop Godwinning yourself, Woz.

You really do need to look up "jargon".

BTW "proper" isn't the word being used as jargon.  "Proper time", the 
phrase, is the jargon.  It describes a particular type of time 
measurement, and there was no pre-existing adjective which could be 
tacked onto the word "time" to mean what proper time now means, so a 
jargon phrase "proper time" evolved.

Complete statements like "communism is the best system" or "AH was a 
great leader" are propaganda or beliefs and are complete sentences, not 
a word or short phrase.  Communist theory jargon might be words like 
"proletariat" or "bourgeoisie" which have specific meanings in their theory.

If it was  "great leader AH" it would be fine.

Yes, this is correct. Keep in mind that for Woz, jargon is despicable in
itself. Keep in mind that for Woz, the whole deal is “fuck you”. As in
“fuck your physics,” “fuck your jargon”, “fuck your non-common-sense
concepts”, “fuck the ground you walk on”. 

He lives in a loop of rage. I don’t know if that’s because of early career
issues, or just interactions on this group. Either way, it’s pathological.
He knows it, doesn’t care, gotta get it out.

Everytime you take a physics test, the questions are the same as last year but the answers are different.
