Nope, whether you are sitting on earth watching the moon rising or
standing on moon watching mother earth rising does'nt change anything.

Heger has been eloquent, and Karl is not necessarily offering an
adequate contradiction here.
Here is a translation of Einstein:
"If the principle of relativity were not valid we should therefore
expect that the direction of motion of the earth at any moment would
enter into the laws of nature, and also that physical systems in their
behaviour would be dependent on the orientation in space with respect
to the earth."

I'm sure there is some more apt quote, but already I see ways to
falsify Einstein's argument. The sun shines on just half of the earth,
for instance. Physical systems certainly do behave differently
depending on their orientation with respect to the earth. This is why
we see ice sheets near the poles, jungles near the equator.

Too simpleminded? I would argue for primitive thinking, and getting
these postulates ironed out in a standalone fashion. When we dissect
down to say the electron modern science tells us that the electron
does have an inherent magnetic moment. This is an anisotropic
construction, in comparison to the raw isotropic charge which was
assumed in Maxwell's time.

Consider one camera situated one the moon and another one placed on
mother earth, both transmitting their pictures to your space ship.

You are watching two scenes, but there is still just one world,
so how could the base position of a projection change it? Would
a thousand observers make thousand worlds with different physics?

I accept a unified reality and unified spacetime as well. Still in
that each position in spacetime is unique then each observer does
indeed observe differently than the others.
You've completely deleted my argument, and I'm guessing you did not
have a direct falsification. This is more the level at which I would
attempt to discuss this. The isotropic assumption is not necessarily
accurate.

Axiomatic thinking is still possible, and if we find one of Einstein's
axioms is challengable then we have a lead on a replacement theory. To
what degree should Einstein simply have admitted that any theory is
built of axioms, and that any axioms which yield correspondence to
reality are valid? Einstein has nearly legitimated the old thinking
that the surface of the earth is flat, as he has allowed curvature of
space itself. Still, we do not see light beams travelling along the
horizon of the earth so this curvature cannot be the totality. Again I
will try returning to
"If the principle of relativity were not valid we should therefore
expect that the direction of motion of the earth at any moment would
enter into the laws of nature, and also that physical systems in their
behaviour would be dependent on the orientation in space with respect
to the earth."

Shall we simply attempt the inversion that Einstein himself suggests:

The direction of motion of the earth at this moment enters into the
laws of nature, and the physical system's behavior is dependent on the
orientation in space with respect to the earth.

I feel comfortable admitting the truth of this statement to the point
of questioning the validity of the translation. I have merely to swing
a plumb bob made of a rock and some natural fiber in order to satisfy
Einstein's criteria. If you wish to see a more serious version go to
science museum and witness their pendulum clock:

Now please, Karl, if you wish to provide a sound falsification, let's
try and take it as carefully as possible since these are things so
fundamental as to be confused and overlooked within the mimicry which
allows this information's propagation. We are mere humans.

I didn't even read it because my reply is obvious in either case.
