If Einstein's train gedanken is performed in water at rest with
respect to the embankment and the light from the lightning strikes in
the water at A/A' and B/B' arrive at M simultaneously, does the
Observer at M' conclude the lightning strikes in the water at A/A' and
B/B' were simultaneous, or not?

You have a problem answering a simple question when it does not fit
the dogma you choose to believe in.

From the original intent of this thread, all I can say is, you are

I missed the "-- not of time" part in your previous post, but the
concept of the "curvature of space" makes no sense. What is being
curved? It can't be three dimensional space because the matter not
occupies the "space" and besides, three dimensional space is a
mathematical construct.

Anyways, it is the 'stuff of space' which is being 'curved' by matter.
In other words, the aether is being displaced by matter.

Change the quote to be "Einstein's train gedanken performed in water
at rest with respect to the embankment" instead of "Racecar on a
train" idea, and the dogma of SR is self evident.
From: spudnik on
the curvature of space was "classically" proven, or
empirically, by Aristarchus (with a cohort at the same longitude,
different lattitude, same approx. time) and Gauss
(who invented the theodolite, to do it, in a survey
of (the disputed) Alsace-Lorraine for the French goment).

thus:
Lorenz found that they were deterministic, not fuzzy, but
every little bit counts; especially,
when you consider the vicisitudes of the manufacture
of floating-point processing-ware from the spec
(IEEE-755, -855;
the first is an article in Computer magazine, 1980 issue .-)
