Detection of absolute motion is easy, accepting that fact is
psychologically impossible for some, Tom Roberts being one.

All one has to do is open their eyes and look around :)...

Yet somehow, actual experimental evidence that survives scrutiny is hard to
come by.

What's there beyond papers that are clearly wrong?

Again, your personal ignorance and baggage cause you to make mistakes.

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....

[And ACCURATE knowledge, not the erroneous notion of SR
you seem to have in your head.]

Again, your personal ignorance and baggage cause you to make mistakes.

The difference between Euclidean space and Minkowski spacetime most definitely
_IS_ a profound difference.

The difference between Euclidean space and Minkowski spacetime most definitely
_IS_ a profound difference.

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.

Stephan Gift is a much worse version of Reg Cahill. He has published a
larger number of "relativity-refuting papers". Look at his website.
