Harry quoted: 'The relative retardation of clocks, predicted by the restricted theory of relativity, demands our recognition of the causal significance of absolute velocities.' The author's logic is simply false. For his statement to hold water he would need to have the support of an experiment that is able to detect the special inertial frame that absolute velocity is measured relative to. Harry quoted: 'This demand is also implied by the relativistic equations of electrodynamics and even by the formulation of the restricted theory itself. The observable effects of absolute accelerations and of absolute velocities must be ascribed to interaction of bodies and physical systems with some absolute inertial system.' The fact that no logical inconstancy between SR and electrodynamics has ever been found again makes the authors statement false. For it to hold water the author would nee dot demonstrate his assertions. Since none is provided such statements lack any credability. Harry quoted: 'We have no alternative but to identify this absolute system with the universe. Thus, in the context of physics, absolute motion must be understood to mean motion relative to the universe, and any wider or more abstract interpretation of the "absolute" must be denied.. No evidence provided. You need to do better than this. Bill
