No, you're not. He pointing out the absurdity of you "theory", while you're not reading but singing your mantra to yourself.

And the 'matter' does not include the 'aether' which exists in and around the object.

'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein' http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html "Now comes the anxious question:- Why must I in the theory distinguish the K system above all K' systems, which are physically equivalent to it in all respects, by assuming that the ether is at rest relatively to the K system? For the theoretician such an asymmetry in the theoretical structure, with no corresponding asymmetry in the system of experience, is intolerable. If we assume the ether to be at rest relatively to K, but in motion relatively to K', the physical equivalence of K and K' seems to me from the logical standpoint, not indeed downright incorrect, but nevertheless unacceptable." Such is the reason why Einstein incorrectly concluded the notion of motion cannot be applied to the aether. Einstein failed to realize the aether can be at rest relative to K and at rest relative to K'.

If the aether is at rest relative to the embankment, the light from the lightning strike travels from A and B to both M and M' and if the aether is at rest relative to the train, the light from the lightning strike travels from A' and B' to M and M'. |
