Neither are absolute in any sense. I didn't say that an inertial frame or a non-inertial frame is an absolute frame. I said that every inertial frame claims that laws of phyiscs of the absolute frame. Ken Seto > Seto, you come along with your fabrication of "Absolute frames" > and we all think you are bonkers.

Notice that Einstein never said anything like "the absolute frame is no longer needed after every inertial observer adopts the laws of physics of the absolute frame." He simply said it's not needed. At all, whatsoever. Period.

Wrong...from the GPS point of view the SR effect on the ground clock is approx. 7 us/day running fast and the GR effect is approx. 45 us / day running slow and the cobined effect is approx. 38 us/day running slow.

Well, consider this: SR states that all inertial frames have the same physics. An absolute frame, by definition, has some law of physics that is identifiably different in it. Therefore, it cannot be the same as other inertial frames. Therefore the absolute frame, if it exists, must be non-inertial.

That depends on the physical model that supports an absolute reference frame. For example, physical aether models make the laws of electrodynamics in the absolute frame different than they are in any frame moving relative to the absolute reference frame. Commonly, the value c disappears from the laws of electrodynamics and gets replaced by terms involving c-vs and c-vr. However, this is not observed in nature, despite looking for it, and laws of electrodynamics involving those absolute reference terms do not match experiment for ANY frame. This is where it would be useful to READ something on electrodynamics, Ken, so you can see where this comes from. > > >The properties that YOU > > think are ascribed to an absolute reference frame are incorrect.

If there were an absolute reference frame, then yes indeed, the speed of light could not be isotropic in both inertial frames and in the absolute reference frame. It would have to be one or the other, but not both. This means that if we had a model where the speed of light were presumed to be isotropic in the absolute reference frame, then it would HAVE TO be the case that the speed of light is not isotropic in inertial reference frames, which is counter to experiment. If we then presume that the speed of light is isotropic in inertial reference frames, as matches experimental observation, then it would HAVE TO be anisotropic in the absolute reference frame. By DEFINITION, the laws of physics are different in the absolute reference frame. If they are not different in that frame, then it is not the absolute reference frame. > > > > > Since we have found no reference frame in which the laws of physics > > are different than what they are in inertial reference frames, > > That's because every inertial frame adopts the laws of physics of the > absolute frame. No, Ken, that would make the laws of physics in the inertial frame the SAME as what they are in the absolute frame. By definition, the laws of physics are DIFFERENT in the absolute reference frame than they are in the inertial reference frame. > > > in a > > manner that singles out a velocity with respect to an absolute > > reference, we have no evidence for an absolute reference frame at all, > > despite searching for one experimentally. > > Some past experiments such as the photoelectric and the double slit > experiments detected absolute motion. No, they did not. In order for you to make a statement like that, it is necessary for the results of those experiments to be INCONSISTENT with the lack of absolute motion, not just consistent with the presence of it. Neither experiment is inconsistent with the lack of absolute motion. > > >In special relativity, the > > absolute reference frame is explicitly said not to exist. > > SR gives the wrong interpretation.
