Oh, he mentioned it. He said it was ruled out.

This is the depth of the silliness of your statement.

HAHAHAHAHH! Einstein said it was 'SUPERFLUOUS' that's all. He didn't say 
it did not exist. In fact he said later his theory would collapse if 
there was no aether.

Yes, he did. The description of the aether that was everyone's 
collective understanding is precisely what he said was ruled out in the 
very same lecture you referred to above where he said an aether was 
important to his theory. Go ahead and READ it.

Aether is what is inside the event horizon of a Black hole.

That is so much exaggerated as to be wrong.  In fact, the record shows that 
Einstein never “disavowed” the aether idea as such, and that general 
relativity even rekindled his belief in the existence of an aether inasfar 
as that he thought that the curved spacetime could be it.

No, he said essentially that even the best experiments could not detect it 
until then (with non-contradictory results), and that therefore he will 
proceed in his paper without assuming that it exists.  (With which he got 
the same as and better results than Lorentz.)

No, Ralph, the source independence is caused by how velocities combine,
they don't combine v=v1+v2 but rather v=(v1+v2)/(1+v1v2/c^2). Plug in
c for either v1 or v2 and you'll get v=c.  Meaning the source moving at
v1 will see a photon leave it at v2=c, but will have a velocity v=c as
measured by the destination observer upon arrival.  No aether needed,
just as Einstein said.

Idiot! the velocity addition law is just a  variation of his second 
postulate.


Let v = light speed = c = c(c+v)/(c+v) = (c+v)/(1+v/c) = (c+v)/(1+cv/c^2)

Yes, you ran it backwards so it only shows how the speed of light is c in
all frames given the second postulate, it's not actually proof of the second
postulate.  But note that you were able to write that (and Einstein write
the forward version) with no mention of any aether, which was my point.
Einstein was correct when he stated the aether was unnecessary.  So your
claim of "The cause of Einstein's postulated source independence was quite
clearly the aether of Lorentz" is quite clearly false.  The cause is just
math.

Michael Moron-y, one would have to be a complete idiot to believe that 
Einstein's fairies were solely responsible for unifying all light speeds 
in the whole universe.

Einstein's fairies (what you call them) are otherwise known as the 
structure of spacetime, and there is no real unification involved.

Bodkin, were your parents incredibly stupid, too?

Einstein's 'spacetime' was built on the assumption that all light speeds 
were already unified (by the fairies, apparently).

If something is already done at the outset, there is no need for the 
action to take place, is there?
But while you're fretting about spacetime, why don't you dither and 
writhe about who took the trouble to order the integers? Was it some 
mathematician's fairies?
