Do not give up yet.  You are one of the few SR critics who seems to be 
ready to acknowledge your assumptions and offer another theory.  I have 
been trying without success to discover if kenseto has any content to 
his ideas, but cannot get past his logic errors, and HenriWilson is not 
willing to admit his implicit assumptions, and makes simple physical 
errors.

I am willing to examine your ideas, but first I want to find out if you 
can explain well known phenomena.  Like most people, I have toyed with 
ballistic models, but I could not get them to agree with things like 
aberration and related experiments or Fizeau's experiment with moving 
water. When you add to this the extreme accuracy of QED, which is based 
on EM equations that have no source dependency, I had no trouble giving 
it up.

OTOH, when you try to prove that SR is inconsistent, or based on 
mathematical errors, you will fail every time.  As I wrote to you 
before, there is a big difference between claiming that the light 
postulate is wrong, and claiming that SR is inconsistent.  The first 
claim is simply doing science, as long as you look at *all* the 
evidence, and develop it consistently.  The claim that SR is 
mathematically inconsistent is doomed to failure, as its consistency has 
been tested and verified.  *If* SR is wrong, it is in the postulates, 
not the mathematics.  If the postulates are correct, then all that SR 
predicts must be true.  (This is not to say that it is not possible to 
make mathematical or physical mistakes in applying SR, just that if such 
mistakes are not made, the predictions will be as reliable as the 
postulates.)
