If you wish. SR is a very simple theory based on two postulates
======================================================
LIES! The third postulate is :
the “time† required by light to travel from A to B equals the “time†
it requires to travel from B to A.
It is ONLY valid when there is no relative motion between A and B
even if "time" differed from time.  It would not be valid for an aether
wind either.
SR is a very stupid theory based on three postulates. Einstein does not
get to call a postulate a "definition" to hide it under the carpet.
