Once again lets look at a situation to determine if you believe light can go 90 degrees from a vector direction. I do not believe that is possible.
So,Two ships going the speed of light ( can't happen but just for grins and giggles) shoot out light perpendicular (you can't create light at the speed of light but humor me). Could one ship view the light from the other.The real answer is no but you may have another view.
Now at 0.999 c perpendicular view?0.867 c perpendicular view?
I do not believe any relativistic speed can have a perpendicular view. Light being independent of the source and simultaneity of relativity.What is your understanding?
I can't see what the problem is. If you have two cars moving along a runway, each at opposite sides but level with each other, you can aim a gun on one car directly perpendicular to the car's direction of travel and hit the other car with a bullet. If we did that in a vacuum, the bullet would hit the other car as near to the front or back as the gun is positioned in the first car. If you replace the gun with a laser, the same thing applies - the light follows the path it takes through the laser and continues moving in that direction, then it would burn a hole straight through the other car perpendicular to that car's direction of travel, even though the light's not moving perpendicular to the runway. If you make the cars move at 0.999999c, the light will move so slowly through the laser (while moving through space at c) that it will be directed almost directly forwards, but it will still reach the other car eventually and burn a hole through it perpendicular to the car's direction of travel.

I do not think you understand that my notions ''destroy'' most theories because I ''destroy'' the very mechanical relativity GOC is talking about that you presently use by equating our present ''speed'' of time to the rotational speed of the Earth .
Magical thinking doesn't destroy any theories, but should actually allow you to see them all as valid by fixing any faults they might have with more magic. You also have enormous comprehension difficulties, in this case leading you to state incorrectly that I've equated our present "speed" of time to the rotational speed of the Earth. There are many different things that measure time, but they all measure apparent time rather than absolute time, slowed by any gravitational interactions and by their speed of travel through the fabric of space (as well as the fabric of space's possible movement/expansion within another fabric [of which it may again be a part rather than content]).
Quite clearly you do not understand how I have ''stuffed'' science .
All you've done is put yourself in an irrational position and fool yourself into thinking you're the one who's got it all right, but when your "nothing" has properties and thereby reveals itself to be something rather than nothing, everyone can see your position as ridiculous (unless they have the same ridiculous beliefs, and some SR fans aren't that far away from your position, failing to understand that their beloved Spacetime is also a fabric (aether).
There are two trains with tracks running parallel. There is a 90 degree bar between both trains just behind you in your seat. Your brother is in the opposite train and you can see him in the window. The front of the trains are in front of your window and not in view. The trains are at rest. The physically parallel trains with the bar attached increase speed to 1/2 the speed of light. The bar now appears to be bent back and your brother appears to be behind perpendicular. Your brother views you to be behind and the bar bent backwards. Each of you can observe the front of the others train.. In reality both trains remained physically parallel. Its only the view that changed.Can you follow this reasoning?

Things that are moving with you do not appear warped at all, so the bar continues to appear perpendicular to the train and your brother continues to appear directly to the side of you. The angle at which the light actually travels between these objects and your eyes changes, but the way it is detected cancels out that change. If you shoot a laser directly sideways across the gap between the trains and burn a hole through the other train, that hole will run through the train perpendicular to the train's direction of travel even though the laser light is moving at 60 degrees to the direction the train's moving in rather than perpendicular to it. If we use a less powerful laser that won't blind your brother, it could enter his eye and hit the retina, but there's a delay between it going through the iris and hitting the retina, during which time the eye has moved, and the result is that he will perceive the light as having come to him directly perpendicular to the trains.The reason you've made this mistake is that you're thinking of the visual warping caused by looking at things moving at high speed relative to you, such as the railway sleepers which the railway track rests on - they are arranged perpendicular to the track, and we can extend them sideways to make them easier to see from inside the train, but let's also give the train a glass floor and glass walls so that we can see everything clearly. If we look at those lines, they will appear to curve with their leading point directly underneath us and then bend back as we follow them out to the sides, becoming straight lines once they're further away, pointing at some angle far behind the perpendicular. This is the warping you're thinking about, but it doesn't apply to things moving along with you.
I don't want to sound rude but you keep mentioning trains and tracks and ignoring the reference frame that surrounds them of space. Whilst your trains are doing whatever , trying to subjectively shrink them, it has no affect what so ever on space-time.

Whilst your trains are doing whatever , trying to subjectively shrink them, it has no affect what so ever on space-time.If we're doing SR we can assert (irrationally) that there is no preferred frame of reference, so we only need to think about the frame of reference in which the track is stationary (let's call this frame X) and the frame of reference in which the train is stationary (which we can call frame Y). If we are working with frame X as our base, then the train is length contracted. If we are working with frame Y as our base, then the track is contracted.If we're doing LET, we have a third frame to consider which is the preferred frame (which we can call frame Z). The speed at which the train and track move through frame Z determines how much they are actually contracted (in their direction of travel). We can still use frame X or Y as our base rather than Z (which is a frame we can't actually identify), but if we use frame X and say that the train is contracted for that frame, we are fully aware that the amount of contraction we calculate for the train almost certainly does not give us the true length of the train (which is almost certainly contracted to some degree in some direction). Switching the frame used as the base for our calculations has no effect whatsoever on the actual reality which is represented by frame Z (whose space fabric can never be contracted by anything moving through it - it is always the moving object that is contracted). We can use frame Z in thought experiments, but not in real-world experiments as we cannot identify it for those.You should know ALL of that already and should not be making such objections.
Clocks are slowed by movement, but importantly, Lorentz Ether Theory says that actual time is not slowed at all: you can see that this must be the case because the light is still travelling through the fabric of space at its full normal speed.
During the second half of the rocket's journey though, the rocket will be calculated to be chasing the Earth at 0.99 of the speed of light to catch up with it,
There is only one frame of reference which can be tied to the fabric of space, so its accounts are the ones which are true while all the other accounts are false.
The way things work in LET results in it being impossible to tell if anything is moving or not: there is an absolute frame of reference which is tied to the fabric of space itself, but it cannot be identified because from where we are (inside the universe) all frames behave as if they might be that frame.
Much more interesting though is what Einstein did with the nature of time, because he changed it into a dimension and in doing so turned the fabric of space into a four dimensional fabric called Spacetime.

[Just No, the preferred reference frame is always space, everything is relative to 0. 0 is equal to all of space , every zero point of space.
Quite clearly you need to understand 0 if you want to understand the Universe and where I am at with my thinking.
Let me do some train thought for you, at the center of a circular track is platform.
A train that is 10 meters at rest length starts to travel around the track at the near speed of light, the observer observers a visual length expansion, the train also looks length contracted because it is curved on the track.
The train does not physically contract,
do you think you can possibly understand that things contract when an equal and opposite force is attached ,
the train is actually stretched in a linear vector path,
the field stretches the train and the gravity pulls the train back, the molecules widen not contract.
My observations after visiting the "Magic Schoolbook" site.The propagation speed of light in space is c, and it's independent of any moving object.The actual time is what a local clock indicates.
QuoteDuring the second half of the rocket's journey though, the rocket will be calculated to be chasing the Earth at 0.99 of the speed of light to catch up with it,__You stated previously "then turns round and comes back at 0.866 of the speed of light,"
QuoteThere is only one frame of reference which can be tied to the fabric of space, so its accounts are the ones which are true while all the other accounts are false.__Beginning with the hypothetical absolute rest frame, which experiences no time dilation and no length contraction, it can be shown that all moving inertial frames can be used as reference frames with the same equations describing the behavior of the universe. This results from the independence of light speed, which produces motion induced phenomena, time dilation and length contraction.
The universe as a complete entity has no external reference point for motion, thus by definition, it is not moving.
Simple observation, near and distant, indicates a dynamic universe, thus the most realistic assumption is, everything is moving. If any frame can serve as a reference for motion, it greatly simplifies modeling the world with theories.
Think how complicated it would be to need to know where the center of the universe is, or where an absolute reference point is, before you could formulate the rules of physics.
QuoteMuch more interesting though is what Einstein did with the nature of time, because he changed it into a dimension and in doing so turned the fabric of space into a four dimensional fabric called Spacetime.__He did not, Minkowski did when he expressed the coordinates in a general form. Something mathematicians like to do, make neat and tidy compact expressions.A quote by A. Einstein:"The non-divisibility of the four-dimensional continuum of events does not at all, however, involve the equivalence of the space coordinates with the time coordinate."His 1905 paper explicitly distinguishes time from spatial coordinates.

The problem with you has not changed - you don't take anything on board but keep on talking nonsense no matter how often you're shown the faults in your model, and the reason you do that is that you can't get your mind round all the details to sort them out and get a full picture of what's going on. All you have is a mess of ideas which you've tricked yourself into thinking you understand. There is only one thing that you should be working on if you want to get anywhere with this stuff, and that's working out how a light clock aligned with its direction of travel always keeps pace with an identical light clock moving along with it which is aligned across its direction of travel. If you can get them to tick at the same rate without length-contracting one of the light clocks or having light travel faster than c for one of the light clocks, you will likely win a Nobel prize.
The line at the side of the circular track shows the rest length of the train relative to the trains rest length when on a circular track and curved. From a distance the curved train will not look curved and look shorter than the linear train.
The 1st person view observer is on the platform in the center of the circular track. They will observer a blur that entirely surrounds them in a circle as the train travels around the track, quite clearly you do not understand about visual illusions of length that are not physical processes.
There is no opposing force to contract the physical length of the object. Also even if it did contract it wouldn't mean anything other than an opposing force putting pressure on the front of the object to contract the object.
Which part of Einsteins thought experiments do you not understand is ''parlour tricks'' that can be easily proven to be false logic?
A correction to begin with: I think I was wrong in what I said about the appearance of the railway sleepers - I now suspect they would curve forwards rather than backwards, but that's another discussion.
What matters here though is that the bar connecting your trains will continue to appear perpendicular at all times as viewed by the people on the trains regardless of their speed of travel.
If that wasn't the case, it would be dead easy to detect our movement through space as we could simply move along with a perpendicular bar and measure how much it appears to bend as we speed up and slow down,
but that will produce a null result because no such bending will show up. Indeed, we could simply line up a camera on any point and watch for that point moving as the Earth moves through space at different speeds and angles.
On the issue of light coming from further away:-Imagine two lasers in the right-hand train (train R), both in line with your bar which joins train R to train L. One laser is at the left-hand side of train R and the other laser is at the right hand side of train R. Both lasers are pointing along the bar towards train L, but they are at different heights so that the laser on the right doesn't shoot the laser on the left, so it shoots its light over it instead. This will burn two holes through train L, one a couple of inches above the other, and these holes will both run perpendicular through train L (as measured by someone on the train) even though the light path runs at 30 degrees to the perpendicular through space. The light from the laser on the right had further to go before it reached train L, but it followed the same path as the light from the laser on the left. The difference is that the light in the higher beam was emitted before the light in the lower beam at any point where you compare adjacent photons (one directly above the other). If we use less powerful lasers again so that we can look at the laser light from train L, we find that they appear to come from the same direction as each other (horizontally, but with a small height difference between them). Just as each laser sends the light at 30 degrees to the perpendicular even though it's pointed perpendicular to the train, the eye corrects the 30 degree angle back to zero degrees due to the way the eye moves between the light entering the iris and hitting the retina, so the observer on train L who is next to the rod will always see the lasers directly to his side, and the bar likewise - there is no visual shift of these things backwards.
