Well, only the high priest of a religion would bring two ordinary
assumptions into something really divine.  The ordinary assumptions
are more specifically

**  The principle of relativity

This very fundamental principle was already discovered by Galileo
about 400 years ago.  That would make it 300 years before Einstein the
nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar.'

**  Constancy in the speed of light

Voigt had already radically proposed that to describe the null results
of the Aether-drift experiment.

Well, you are even more amateurish than I.  <shrug>

Just because you are given with a title of a professor from some
higher priests in the religion of SR and GR, that does not make you a
sage.  <shrug>

Remember that kid who was sent to you that possessed fantastic wacko
ideas without any mathematical backup.  You are no better than that
kid.  He did no math, and you embrace matheMagics.  What is the
difference?  He was a younger version of you if you have not
recognized it already after all these time.  However, hopefully that
kid would not be nurtured into another Einstein Dingleberry like so
many supposed-to-educated ones around here.  <shrug>

It is very sad that this is what modern physics is all about.  You are
no different from the great reverend Hammond.  It is a pity that you
are not intelligent enough to realize that.  <shrug>
