Thank you, but here’s where I am. I know the history of the science, and I have a pretty solid background in epistemology. So I know of the problems that Newton ran into with light and magnetism, the search for the ether, the Michelson-Morley experiment, and eventually Einstein’s reinterpretation of the Michelson-Morley results. My understanding is that Maxwell made a valiant effort to reconcile the behavior of light/magnetism with Newton’s universe. I think that Einstein superseded Maxwell.

So for me, Einstein was just saying what everyone saw, but weren’t quite prepared to accept, because they were heading toward a theoretical desert.

But I have to keep checking this out.
