Occam's Razor and the Special Theory of Relativity.
1.
In 1905 Einstein wrote the paper:
“ On the Electrodynamics of moving Bodies.” ( SRT).
He wrote about moving of ‘Electrodynamics Bodies’ (!)
It means he wrote about particles like quantum of light, electron. (!)
And this movement is going in a negative 4D continuum.
2.
One postulate of SRT says: the speed of quantum
of light in a vacuum is a constant ( c=1).
3
Another postulate of SRT says that motion, every motion (!),
(even including the motion of quantum of light ) is relative. (!)
4.
One postulate of SRT says the speed of quantum
of light is going in a vacuum.
Minkowski, trying to understand Einstein’s idea, decided to take
time as a fourth coordinate and created his negative spacetime
4D continuum.
What is negative 4D spacetime continuum really?
Really the negative spacetime 4D continuum is vacuum.
Why?
Because only vacuum has negative parameter ( negative temperature )
and only in vacuum the space and time tied together in unrequited
continuum.
===.
My conclusion.
Einstein’s SRT explains the behavior of light quanta in vacuum.

=========================..
P.S.
"Einstein's special theory of relativity is based on two postulates:
One is the relativity of motion, and the second is the constancy
and universality of the speed of light.
Could the first postulate be true and the other false?
If that was not possible, Einstein would not have had to make two
postulates. But I don't think many people realized until recently
that you could have a consistent theory in which you changed only
the second postulate."
/ Lee Smolin, The Trouble With Physics, p. 226. /

From common sense (which will never do), I have trouble with light not
needing acceleration to be at its speed in vacuum.

The question is:
Can quantum of light change its constant speed ?

Faster-than-light.

Once again.
My opinion about SRT.
1.
One of Einstein's postulate says that quantum of light moves
in a straight line with constant speed c=1 in the vacuum.
2.
The other Einstein's SRT postulate says that even the speed
of quantum of light is relative.
3.
It means that quantum of light can change its constant speed.

=============.
Cornelius Lanczos (served as assistant to Einstein during
the period 1928-29 ) wrote:
SRT was created on two postulates.
First postulate - there isn't absolute speed of movement.
Every movement is relative.
Second postulate - the speed of light ( quantum of light)
is constant.
Lanczos wrote: from the first point of viewit seems that
to unite these two different postulates is impossible,
trying to do this is absolute nonsense. (!)
But . . . . It was be done. (!)
Einstein made it. (!)
. . It was needed the Einstein's courage to do this unity. (!)
How did Einstein connected them ? (!)
He solved this problem saying that Newton's absolute space
and time are relative.
And they can be united in negative spacetime - 4D.
==.
Very well ! !
There is only small problem in this conception:
What is the negative 4D spacetime ?
Nobody knows. ( ! )

Time is not seen as a physical entity or dimension these days
Indeed, Einstein never interpreted time "t" as a fourth dimension of
space. Space is not 3D + T, space is 4D. With clocks we measure
numerical order of material change. This numerical order is the only
time that exists in a physical world. With this approach all immediate
information transfers of quantum physics are explained in a more
appropriate way. 4D space is a medium of quantum information
transfers. One can see the Razor at work in this, almost doing away
with time.
I hear they are now working with 3D Plank-space that is timeless.
Negative 4D spacetime sounds like superstring theory to me - far too
much brane for me.
