You may think that is true of nature, but it certainly wasn't true of the theories being tested. What you think of as being true is not true until it passes a number of quantitative experimental tests, no matter what you think. > > > > > Moreover, the train gedanken doesn't have anything do with emitter > > theories.

The Emitter Theory I am proposing in Simultaneity of Relativity has to do with the light waves interaction with the aether. Aether is entrained by massive objects and therefore the light wave propagates outward at 'c' relative to the massive object. But it is a light wave. As the light wave moves further past the binary star which emitted the light wave, it travels at 'c' relative to the entrained aether surrounding both stars. My thought experiment explains how four wave fronts are determined by both the Observers at M and M' to have been emitted by simultaneous flashes. Do you agree the Observers determine the flashes of light occurred simultaneously? If so, explain how. If not, explain why not. > > > > Moreover, the train gedanken doesn't have anything do with emitter > > > theories.

If so, explain how. If not, explain why not. I asked you about this earlier, if you want to know how relativity accounts for what goes on, since you obviously do not understand the Einstein gedanken. You suggested that we forget the Einstein gedanken. If you'd like to revisit the Einstein gedanken and actually learn what relativity says, then ask. Keep in mind that throughout any discussion that ensues, we would be talking about RELATIVITY and not your pet aether guess. If you want to know what's wrong with your pet aether guess, I've already pointed you to a listing of dozens of experiments and the documentation about them. > > > > > > > Moreover, the train gedanken doesn't have anything do with emitter > > > > theories.
