You have to add that c = const for all frames, don't you?

There is a maximum velocity a particle can move with in any frame is
equivalent, I think.
==================================================
Awesomely ridiculous.
Let us in ``stationary'' space take two systems of co-ordinates, i.e. two
systems, each of three rigid material lines, perpendicular to one another,
and issuing from a point. Let the axes of X of the two systems coincide, and
their axes of Y and Z respectively be parallel. Let each system be provided
with a rigid measuring-rod and a number of clocks, and let the two
measuring-rods, and likewise all the clocks of the two systems, be in all
respects alike.
Now to the origin of one of the two systems (k) let a constant velocity v be
imparted in the direction of the increasing x of the other stationary system
(K), and let this velocity be communicated to the axes of the co-ordinates,
the relevant measuring-rod, and the clocks." -- Albert Amazingly Powerful
Einstein.

As long as amazingly powerful v doesn't exceed amazingly powerful c?

The speed of light is measured to be 'c' in all inertial frames.

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places,
.... disregarding the causes which condition its state"
- Albert Einstein

The state of the aether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in neighboring places is the
aether's state of displacement.

In Einstein's train gedanken the state of the aether is determined by
its connections with the Earth. This means the aether is more at rest
with respect to the embankment than it is the train.

The Observers on the train synchronize three clocks at M'. One
Observer walks a clock to A' and the other walks a clock to B'. When
the Observer walks the clock to A' the clock is being walked with the
'flow' of aether and ticks faster. The clock walked to B' is being
walked against the 'flow' of aether and ticks slower.

Lightning strikes occur at A/A' and B/B' and arrive at the Observer at
M on the embankment simultaneously.

When the lightning strikes occur on the train the clocks at A', M',
and B' read 12:00:03, 12:00:02, and 12:00:01, respectively.

The light from B' reaches the Observer at M' prior to the light from
A'. When the Observers on the train get back together they conclude
the lightning strike at B/B' occurred prior to the lightning strike at
A/A' and the light traveled at 'c'.

Cherenkov radiation--IIRC--is what you get when a particle travels in a
medium faster than light travels in that medium.

You're right, but none of it is my specialization. Got my PhD in biology.
Got my grants in biomedical research. Now, retired. Reading a lot of
history for fun.
