Nonsense. The concept of reference frames was well established since
Galileo 300 to 400 years ago. Only through these reference frames,
Galileo was able to claim the principle of relativity. <shrug>

Nonsense. Before 1905, the null results of the MMX were interpreted
by Voigt, Larmor, and Lorentz to modify the known mathematical model
of that time, the Galilean transform, into something that would
satisfy these null results. According to the nature of the MMX, all
measurements must reference back to the absolute frame of reference.
It was Poincare in 1905 who realized that if the two observers were to
move in parallel to each other, the absolute speeds of the observers
drop out, and the result is the Lorentz transform. However, in
general, that is not the case. Again, the Aether is the consequence
of the transforms where all must fall back to the absolute frame of
reference without any exceptions. The Aether is not assumed to exist
in the first place. However, the nature of the null results of the
MMX must start with the absolute frame of reference. <shrug>

Nonsense. Koobee Wublee has already addressed that. <shrug>

They have been verified by experiments since so far all experiments
that satisfy SR also satisfy the existence of the absolute frame of
reference which is SR’s antithesis. <shrug>

Another nonsense. Voight’s, Larmor’s, and Lorentz’s works certain did
not. <shrug>

PD, we went through this issue multiple times already. Because
accepting 2 hypotheses that are antitheses to each other that is
verified by all experiments so far does not adequately identify which
one is valid and which one is falsified. This should be common
sense. Why is it common sense? Well, talk to grade school kids.

All that circular bullshit remain bullshit. Every single hypothesis
must be verified by experiments that validate nothing else but that
hypothesis.
