Default FQXi AGAINST EINSTEIN'S SPECIAL RELATIVITY

are of exactly the same physical character seems to be supported by
Einstein's special theory of relativity..."

This view is DEDUCED in Einstein's special theory of relativity, and
if you don't accept it, you should suggest which of the two postulates
- the principle of relativity and the principle of constancy of the
speed of light - is false. Any different discussion amounts to
crimestop:

George Orwell: "Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as
though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It
includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive
logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are
inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of
thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction.
Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity."
