When two events happen at exactly the same time, we might think
they occurred simultaneously.
It is a scientifically accepted fact that simultaneous events aren't
simultaneous. You might wonder how it could be that two events that
happened at the same time didn't happen at the same time. The
answer is easy. The Theory of Relativity clearly states that a person
who isn't at the mid point between simultaneous events won't
observe the events as simultaneous.
Everyone should agree that the person who isn't at the mid point
won't observe them as simultaneous.
However; the theory of relativity concludes that simultaneous events
aren't simultaneous because the person who isn't at the mid point
between the events doesn't observe them as simultaneous.
The theory of relativity then goes on to claim that time has no
meaning since people in different positions don't both observe the
simultaneous events as simultaneous.
The theory of relativity then goes on to claim it's previously defined
problem with the additive and relative speed of light has been
eliminated because time has no meaning.
The flaw in the theory of relativity is clear. Time has meaning. A
person who isn't at the mid point between simultaneous lightning
strikes can't observe them as simultaneous without the use of tools,
measurements, and calculations to correct for the difference in arrival
time of the flashes of light from the lightning strikes.
It doesn't matter if the person is standing on an embankment or on a
moving train. The results are the same. A person at the mid point will
observe the lightning strikes as simultaneous and a person who isn't
at the mid point won't observe them as simultaneous.
Since time does have meaning, and space has meaning, then the
speed of light remains additive and relative as identified as a conflict
in the theory of relativity.
For 100 years people have celebrated the conclusion that are built on
a philosophical discussion about perception of simultaneous events.
Physics isn't supposed to be based on a philosophical discussion and
conclusions derived from false perception.
The flaw makes discussion and experimentation covering other areas
of the theory simply superfluous.
