The first postulate is not a truism. It is possible to imagine a world >>>> where it is not true and to believe that we actually live in a such
world.
Your reply does not explain how it is not obviously true and nothing new >>> that wasn't already known long before Einstein.
I did explain. And what I said was indeed known long before Einstein.
If the first postulate were a truism nobody would ever have believed
otherwise. But ancinet literature shows that the opposite belief was
common.
Indeed.
In particular Maxwell's equations were generally believed before 1905
to hold only in one prefered frame. (the rest frame of the aether)
Einstein's postulate applied to electromagnetism
was new and revolutionary, and seen as such at the time,
(by those who mattered)
There are no inertial frames as all matter moves in aether. The speed
with respect to aether can never be known for light speed is variant. As
all points move, the distances light travels between two points is never
the same as the marked out distances.
These are - among other - new and revolutionary insights by Arindam
which brings back aether; throw out the bogus Einsteinian notions
relating to relativity; update the laws of physics making interstellar
travel a probability with internal force engines within a few decades.
