This is experimentally confirmed.
It is also experimentally confirmed that photons travel in lines from
where they were generated, not from where the source goes. >

Please provide the name of any experiment that
confirms that photons EXIST between the origin of a light wave and its
arrival at a reactive target. (If you can't, then your conclusion is
not based on experimental evidence.)

I suggest that you read the following link for a different

The observer is doing the moving....if he is at equal distance from
the strikes then he will see the flashes to be simultaneous.

If A/A' is a single point in three dimensional space where a single
lightning strike occurs and B/B' is a single point in three
dimensional space where a single lightning strike occurs, and the
embankment and the train are moving relative to one another, it is
physically impossible for the aether to be at rest relative to both.

If the boat were stationary relative to the water and you dropped the
anchor off of the side of the boat, the wave generated by the anchor
would propagate outward in all directions relative to where the boat
*is*.

The wave the anchor makes in the water propagates outward relative to
the water.

Light waves travel at 'c' relative to the aether, not a frame of
reference.
