Why not? You said you can do an experiment to detect absolute motion. SO you can tell how fast an in what direction the observer is moving wrt your 'aether'. So then change your observers absolute velocity by the negative of that amount and he is at rest. Simple. > However, the structure of the > aether is such that the speed of light is isotropic in all inertial > frames. So you must get relativity of simultaneity, or else you get contradictions and multiple realities. And as your IRT is supposedly a super-set of SR, then you must also get the SR resulhs of RoS. > What this means is that light will take different times to > cover an equal physical distance in different frames (different states > of absolute motion). BUT for light to be isotropic (ie same in all directions) in some frame S, which has some non-zero absolute motion relative to the aether frame E, it means light is taking the SAME time to travel different absolute distances (distances in frame E). Which means it is not isotropic in E. It cannot be isotropic in more than one frame unless you have RoS. RoS is a natural consequence and requirement of your theory just as it is for SR. > The following link will illustrate what I mean. > http://www.geocities.com/kn_seto/2008experiment.pdf > > Ken Seto

Yes both M and M' are at different equal distances from the strikes when they happened at the ends of the train simultaneously. The speed of light is isotropic in both frame and therefore they will each sees the strikes to be simultaneous at different times. M will see the strikes to be simutaneous at time L/c and M' will see the strikes to be simultaneous at tiime Gamma*L/c according to the track clock.

LET assumes that there is an aether and it uses the aether frame to do calculations. SR assumes that all frames are equivalent, including the aether frame so it uses the aether frame to do calculations. That's why SR and LET have the same math and that's why both the LET and SR observers assert that all all clock moving wrt them are running slow and all rulers moving wrt them are contracted.
