Einstein's P1 states that, "the laws of physics are the same on all frames".

Then his stupid theory goes on to point out that they are only the same if and
when the LTs are applied.

So what is it really? ARE they the same or aren't they?

No it doesn't, Einstein's P1 states

"Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a
conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative
motion of the conductor and the magnet,"
"Examples of this sort, together with [yada suggestion yada suggestion yada]
will hereafter be called the "Principle of Relativity"

Learn to read, Awilson, you've been listening to too many kooks.

No .. it doesn't say that. Try reading what was actually said again,
instead of making up your own quotes. His 'P1' is that "the same laws of
electrodynamics and optics will be valid for all frames of reference for
which the equations of mechanics hold good."

So it is just saying that in any frame where the law of mechanics apply (we
call them inertial frames), the laws of electrodynamics will apply as well.

No .. he goes on to prove that if P1 *and* P2 are correct, then you get that
the relationship between the coordinates of an event in any given pair of
inertial frames (if you align the axes and origins for the coordinates) will
be a Lorentz transform.

You don't 'apply' an LT to a frame to make physics work. The physics
already works.

You really are incredibly ignorant or someone so pompous.

When someone catches one of Newton's
massive light corpuscles maybe they will loan
it to you so you can find
a better way to state its behaviour.

'Till then, the Galilean transform should
work fine for the everyday light that is
as almost as abundant as crude oil
in your tomato patch.

Atoms cannot flatten in form. There is no space contraction. There is
only time rate slowdown.
