relativity and photons assumed unobservable principles
and
entities that violated all of Mach's rules about how
theories
should be formulated.
But having invented relativity as a stop
gap and limited solution, he missed the full, real one - subjectivity. As
the SUO group helped me decide, reality isn't the issue, it’s the observer's
subjectivity that limits her observations.
If any one of us (even Einstein) experienced
riding on a beam of light, or falling free in an elevator (even in our
imaginations), we would have had similar responses to Albert's.
AE just made a simple category error
because he didn't have all the information available that we do now. Subjectivity,
specialized, leads to relativity.
