A) this was not the "then existing aether model" -- that phrase could only mean Maxwell's model (as used, e.g. by Michelson and Morley in their paper). Lorentz introduced a completely new model with a VERY different ether, and Poincar� did not even present a complete model. B) Maxwell, Lorentz, and Poincar� all "took for granted" a Euclidean geometry PLUS an aether (different aethers, but no matter). Ultimately, well after 1905, physicists realized that the primary difference between those earlier models and SR is that SR "takes for granted" a DIFFERENT GEOMETRY -- Minkowski spacetime. C) That is not "the only" difference. For instance, SR is generally applicable but LET applies only to electromagnetism. SR can be AND HAS BEEN generalized to other realms, including QED, the standard model, and GR, but LET cannot. SR is a pillar of modern science; LET is just an historical footnote, abandoned by all but a few die-hards like yourself, whose general ignorance of physics makes it impossible for them to convince anybody else of their views -- people who DO understand the issues know why LET was abandoned, and why it will never be resurrected. But a full understanding requires a broad knowledge of physics....

Hmmmm. Once Lorentz's 1904 error in charge density is corrected (which he himself did), LET is experimentally indistinguishable from SR. So in that sense there is no "practical difference". But in theoretical physics the difference is both ENORMOUS and "practical" -- the underlying symmetry of SR has been essential in developing all further fundamental theories of physics. LET lacks this symmetry [#], and could not have fostered these theories. The historical path of modern physics traces back through SR, not LET; the unifying thread is based on SYMMETRIES, not unobservable aether, caloric, or phlogiston. [#] The irony is that this symmetry is known as "Lorentz invariance". > So, again, what is 'profoundly' different? Since you refuse to study, you'll never be able to learn. I repeat: much of what you think you know about SR is just plain wrong. Had you understood the ACTUAL theory, and the ACTUAL results of both experimental and theoretical physics, you would not be so confused, and would not make so many mistakes. Tom Roberts
