Abstract

A re-examination of Einstein?s argument for the failure of simultaneity identifies the hidden, and false, assumption of simultaneity for observations from frames in relative motion. Avoiding that error permits a simpler theory of relativity that reveals how both the schism of relativity and quantum theories and the contradictions and paradoxes of flexible space may proceed from the illusion of a common frame. A GPS satellite experiment is proposed to determine which view is correct.
