And by basic school Euclidean geometry as well.
Of course, when when EG refused to cooperate
with Your relativity - Your idiot guru simply
assumed it's false, and You followed him
obediently.

What you say is true Sylvia, and i would strongly advise you to do just 
that, i.e. check Einstein's math eh!

In the 1905 SR paper, Einstein's 2nd equation is:

	"velocity = light path / time interval"

which is of course correct eh!

his 3rd equation is, which is for a rod or length rAB, traveling with 
velocity v, and with a clocks A and B at either end, recording times tA 
and tB, as light passes first A then B is:

      	  " tB - tA = rAB / (c-v) "
	
To anyone whose done high school algebra it should be obvious that this 
equation is wrong.  Clearly if it is correct at v=0, it can not possibly 
be correct at any other value of v, since tB,tA,rAB and c will not change.

No. The mistake is yours. This paper is a veritable minefield for people
who attempt to read it without the necessary prerequisites. The paper just
_happens_ to use very little in terms of mathematics and so it attracts
lots of amateurs who think they can find "wrong equations" in it.

No he did not assume any such thing. EG holds in a plane, which is by the
way the subject of Euclid’s Elements, volume 1.

Of course it doesn't hold in The Shit. And that's because
when  EG refused to  cooperate with the madness of your 
idiot guru - he simply assumed it's false.
And you followed him obediently. Well, no surprise when
talking about a brainless fanatic woodworker.
Now, can you point ANYONE (not being you) agreeing with
your private version of Pythagorean theorem?

Yes. Euclid.
His citation of the PT was in volume 1 of Elements, which was about PLANE
geometry. 

Now, who do you have (besides you and your “common sense”) that agrees with
you?

So, if someone would write about PT in a book
about ancient Greece, you would conclude that PT 
is "in ancien Greece revery right triangle...", 
right, poor halfbrain?


And did he write it as "every right triangle..."
like me or as "every right triangle on a plane..."
like you, poor halfbrain?
And if someone writes about PT

Hey, if you’re too much of a brain-dead buffoon to understand the context
of a mathematical proposition, and you would like to blame someone for not
making it completely impossible for you to get that context wrong, then
perhaps you can blame Euclid. 

I note with interest that you have not been able to cite anyone that agrees
with you and your common sense, and yet you seem to want to claim that most
people understand it the way you do. 

Insane much?

So, if someone would write about PT in a book 
about ancient Greece, you, understanding the context,
would say that PT  is "in ancien Greece revery right 
triangle...",  right, poor halfbrain?

STILL no reference to anyone that agrees with you, I see. Well, I guess
that closes the brief and rather pointless conversation.

Still no reference to ANYONE writing PT your way.
Just some mumble about "understanding context",
as expected from an idiot woodworker imagining 
to be a powerful mathematician. 
Well, I guess that closes the brief and rather

I will try to deepen your point of view and also that of Selleri.

If I understand correctly, as both Lorentz Aether theory, SR and Selleri 
weak relativity, have compatible results, I can accept all three 
theories and then choose the one that seems closest to reality.
That is my theory (or hypothesis), which in practice is a variant of 
that of Lorentz and of that of Selleri.

But Selleri showed that his theory is also compatible with other 
experiments and observations, namely:
Fizeau experiment;
Aberration of light;
Occultation of Jupiter's satellites;
Radar distances of the planets;
International Atomic Time.

Are there any other experiments?

In conclusion I arrive at the same question:
In addition to Einstein's special relativity, could I also accept the 
weak relativity of Selleri?
If not, why?

As I've said before, the theory will be such that the posited preferred 
frame is undetectable, as it is with Lorentz Aether theory. Belief in 
something that has no observable consequences is not science, it's religion.

Lady, according to Your so called "scientific method" 
Lorentz's ether is experimentally confirmed. And You 
say "religion"?

But do we need more faith, in believing that light waves can manifest 
themselves in the vacuum or in the aether?

However, physicists like Selleri and, above all, like Lorentz, believed 
in the existence of aether, ie of a preferred frame.
So believing in the existence of a preferred frame, is not like 
believing in the existence of heaven and hell.
So it would not be a mortal sin for physics, to hypothesize that the 
preferred frame exists.
And so it would not be a mortal sin for physics, even hypothesize that 
the CMBR reference frame could be such preferred frame.

It's right?

You seem to want to believe in a preferred frame, even though it has 
neither theoretical, nor experimental, support. It's not rational.

Physics doesn't need a preferred frame. It works perfectly well without.

This thread seems to have come a long way from it's original 
"falsification".

It has both theoretical and experimental suport equal to
those of Your beloved SR, "rational" lady.

Now I try to be rational.
Light waves need a medium to manifest themselves.
If the light waves manifest themselves in a medium, their speed will be 
isotropic with respect to the medium and not with respect to an object 
that moves relative to the medium.
So that medium can be defined as a preferred frame.
The LET, which assumes the existence of the preferred frame, is 
compatible with the observations and experiments, like the SR.
Therefore, even if mathematically the preferred frame is not necessary, 
it really serves to be rational.

Where would I not be rational?


On the other hand, if I say that the light waves manifests themselves in 
the vacuum, am I rational?

A long way, which was very useful to me.
Because it will allow me to improve an article that I have published on 
VIXRA.
Instead in my previous thread, Tom Roberts stopped early.

Light consists of photons. No medium required.

What is the photon?
A photon is the smallest discrete amount or quantum of electromagnetic 
radiation. It is the basic unit of all light.

From:
https://www.zmescience.com/science/what-is-photon-definition-04322/

What is the electromagnetic radiation?
In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to 
the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, 
propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic 
radiant energy.[1] It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, 
(visible) light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

From:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

Therefore the photons are composed of electromagnetic waves, and how 
waves manifest themselves in a medium.
