Ahh! You must be one of BURT's better students.
He can't read either.

<< Einstein's relativity principle states that:

All inertial frames are totally equivalent
for the performance of all physical experiments.

In other words, it is impossible to perform a physical
experiment which differentiates in any fundamental sense
between different inertial frames. By definition, Newton's
laws of motion take the same form in all inertial frames.
Einstein generalized[1] this result in his special theory of
relativity by asserting that all laws of physics take the
same form in all inertial frames. >>

[1]<< the four-dimensional space-time continuum of the
theory of relativity, in its most essential formal
properties, shows a pronounced relationship to the
three-dimensional continuum of Euclidean geometrical space.
In order to give due prominence to this relationship,
however, we must replace the usual time co-ordinate t by
an imaginary magnitude

sqrt(-1)

ct proportional to it. Under these conditions, the
natural laws satisfying the demands of the (special)
theory of relativity assume mathematical forms, in which
the time co-ordinate plays exactly the same rôle as
the three space co-ordinates. >>

can be evaluated by performing two simple experiments
which involve measuring the force of attraction between
two fixed charges and two fixed parallel current carrying
wires. According to the relativity principle, these experiments
must yield the same values for epsilon_0 and mu_0 in all
inertial frames. Thus, the speed of light must be the
same in all inertial frames. >>

So you're claiming x' = x/Sqrt(1 - [v/c]^2) where x is the local value
and x' the associated rest value does not apply to moving acoustic
fields? Are you also claiming that this idea is unique to me???
Finally, did you bother to check the references provided eariler?

Your ignorance does not make it nonsense...

Irrelevant? Let's see:

"In the second place OUR RESULT SHOWS THAT, ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL
THEORY OF RELATIVIYy, THE LAW OF THE CONSTANCY OF THE VELOCITY OF
LIGHT IN VACUO, WHICH CONSTITUTES ONE OF THE TWO FUNDAMENTAL
ASSUMPTIONS IN THE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY AND TO WHICH WE
HAVE ALREADY FREQUENTLY REFERRED, CANNOT CLAIM ANY UNLIMITED
VALIDITY. A CURVATURE OF RAYS OF LIGHT CAN ONLY TAKE PLACE WHEN THE
VELOCITY OF PROPAGATION OF LIGHT VARIES WITH POSITION. Now we might
think that as a consequence of this, the special theory of
relativity and with it the whole theory of relativity would be laid
in the dust. But in reality this is not the case. We can only
conclude that the special theory of relativity cannot claim an
unlimited domain of validity ; its results hold only so long as we
are able to disregard the influences of gravitational fields on the
phenomena (e.g. of light)."

And, my whole point was/is that GLR (a Generalized Lorentzian
Relativity) revolves around the FACT! that an actual medium consist of
physical properties the regulate and provide the basis of wave speed c
(light in the case of aether). These properties ARE! compressibility
(u) and density (n) such that, like ALL! known media c^2 = 1/un.
Thus, 'locally' the u & n set c but, these values can and will vary
from one locale to another. Thus "...THE LAW OF THE CONSTANCY OF THE
VELOCITY OF LIGHT IN VACUO, WHICH CONSTITUTES ONE OF THE TWO
FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTIONS IN THE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY AND TO
WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY FREQUENTLY REFERRED, CANNOT CLAIM ANY UNLIMITED
VALIDITY"!!! Which Einstein said formed the basis for formulating the
General theory to account for this in the case of gravity...

Oh, BTW, this is a good description of GLR...

http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/~arminjon/PIR96_1B.pdf

Nope, doesn't seem irrelevant. If you think it is, expain why.

Like I've said, you flee technical arguments that don't go your way.

Thus you completely ignore the dissection of the reference that supposedly

different theories somehow proves your point.

You've been doing it for years, no surprises.
