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 the marks made at A' and B' are irrelevant. 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' and the marks made at A and B are irrelevant.

In order for Einstein's Relativity of Simultaneity to hold true, the aether must be in the same state in both the embankment and the train reference frames. If the lightning strikes at A/A' and B/B' are co- located as they are in Einstein train thought experiment, this is physically impossible. Light travels at 'c' relative to the aether.

He didn't have to do that the speed of light is isotropic in all inertial framesand that's why he concluded that the notion of motion cannot applied to the aether. However, he failed to realize that the speed of light on earth is isotropic only in the same gravitational potential. Verticlly the speed of light is anisotropic.

If A and A' are not co-located and the aether is at rest relative to the embankment and at rest relative to the train, then you have Simultaneity of Relativity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyWTaXMElUk It's either one or the other. Either A and A' are co-located and B and B' are co-located in which case it is physically impossible for the frames to be inertial frames of reference because the aether cannot be at rest relative to both, or A and A' are not co-located and B and B' are not co-located. It is physically impossible in nature for A and A' to be co-located and for B and B' to be co-located and for the train frame of reference and the embankment frame of reference to be physically equivalent in all respects. > that's why he concluded that the notion of motion > cannot applied to the aether.
