So why do you keep asserting that inertial frames take on the property of
some absolute frame which exists only in your mind, and which SR disavows?

No--In inertial reference frames--as has already been
shown to the first order of small quantities, the same
laws of electrodynamics and optics will be valid for
all frame of reference for which the equations of mechanics
hold good.

Nothing in this definition requires absolute anything.
Seto--You have one big misconception and you brain is not
capable of understanding your error.

There is a massive black hole in the center of our galaxy, Ken.
Measurements of the gas and the orbital velocities of the nearby
stars peg its mass at at least three million solar masses and it
boundary is very much smaller than the orbit of Mercury, meaning
that all that mass is within its Schwarzschild radius. Sag A*
is a black hole alright, and a big one.

If you were falling in, you would measure the rest of the universe
speeding up and all those clocks would be going faster and faster
and faster!

Wrong.....what I wrote are the exclusive properties of an absolute
frame. The fact that every inertial observer adopts them as the
properties of his frame does not invalidate them to be the properties
of an absolute frame.

All the book written so far gave the wrong interpretation for the
properties of an absolute frame.

No it is you who is mistaken. In the absolute frame the speed of light
is isotropicc; a clock in the absolute frame is the fastest running
clock in the universe and a meter stick in the absolute frame is the
longest meter stick in th euniverse. Thes exclusive preferred
properties are what make the absolute frame unique.
