At first, the scientists, and I presume Lorentz and
Fitzgerald, thought that the relativistic effects were
only apparent. Not real for both observers. Later, when
relativity became more entrenched, it was tought that
the effects were mutual, real for both observers.

Suppose relativity works absolute after all, and that
the preferred frame is the average mass distribution of
the universe.

The barn is at rest wrt this frame, so it does not have
any real length contraction.

The pole flies by at high speed and has length
contraction. The barn puts light signals at both
doors when the tail of the pole passes at the back door
and when the front of the pole passes at the front door.

The observer at the barn sees the rear light first, and
some time later the front light, concludes the pole has
shrunk, because of relativistic effects.

The back of the pole passes the rear door first, but
since the pole is traveling at close the speed of
light, the light from the back door has trouble catching
up with the pole. The front of the pole has reached the
front door, and the observer at the pole sees the front
light first, then the back light, thus concludes that
the barn must have shrunk.

The effects seem to be mutual, but in case of the pole,
only apparent.

Hmmm... This seems to be a bit artificial to assume the barn is in the
preferred frame.
Suppose neither the barn nor the pole are at rest relative to the
average mass distribution of the universe. Then how would you describe
things?

what about energy flowing in gravity field?
When energy stops moving in gravity field it aquires weight.
Einstein's geometry has a center of mass. That would be the center of
the Earth.

So if you can be still in gravity you can also move in it relative to
its geometric energy center. This is the gravity frame center of mass
and geometry.

Then, part of the effects will be real, and part of them
apparent, but to both observers, things will look the
same as either of them would be in rest wrt to the
preferred frame. This is the argument of the relativists
against the preferred frame, but that does not mean it
is not there, it is useful for understanding how it all
works, and this absolute view also eliminates the twin
paradox.

It is not because the physics conspire to hide the
preferred frame, that it is not there. Atoms and
molecules were hidden from us until before 100 years,
but that does not mean that their discovery and study is
not useful.

Uwe Hayek.
