Obviously SR is incorrect because of these findings

What experiment was it that falsified special relativity and why haven't we seen it in the news yet?

Perhaps you have difficulty in understanding real physics  ?

LOL
The real answer is time dependent perturbation theory.
Or, if you prefer a classical interpretation, it's down to Maxwell's equations.

And I suspect that it's you who doesn't understand the physics involved.


However, just in the interests of proving that you are being foolish; how can I see myself in the mirror?
In order to move from the light, to my face and them to the mirror this "attraction" has to change direction.

Quite obvious the light reflecting off you is reflecting in the mirror back at you .  In either instant the light is still being attracted by the f(x) .

Reflection is redirection !

What stops the attraction being northwards and makes it southwards?
The "thing" that's doing the attracting doesn't move.

Equality and Newtons laws of motion sort of .  A photon will remain travelling a straight line unless redirected and a straight light is  possibly infinite in any direction which means the f(x) attractive force is constant in any direction .

Function (x) is always equal to f(y) and f(z) if we want to define this in more appropriate 3d terms .
