I don't know why you would worry about what relativity would REQUIRE.
The question is what observations it explains well, and whether there
are a lot of them that it doesn't explain well. The very same issue is
what tired-light models have faced. So far, relativity wins.

You are an aethrist....which places you just one level above an Einstein
worshipper.

It would be extremely unusual for anything to travel for millions of years
without being affected by whatever it meets on the way.

Obviously, Henri, you have no idea what I posted, or any understanding
of relativity theory. You are relegated to belittling what you cannot
understand.
