Rigid bodies that sit IN inertial reference frames, yes. The rigid bodies are not IDENTIFIED WITH the reference frames.

Nope .. you're making up your own nonsense >All the non-massive frames that >you pretend to maintain in 1905 Relativity are clearly out of it. WRONG. Totally and completely. It does NOT rule out ANY inertial frame of reference. It simply does not make use of any absolute frame. In fact it is totally CONTRARY to what the paper actually says [snip reset from nonsense misinterpretation of 1905 SR] |
