I am having some difficulty with the previous remarks about Einstein's Theory of Relativity being "dead" for some time now due to various claims of "proving" absolute motion exists. First of all, if anyone WERE to prove Einstein wrong, they would have to do so by discovering a particle that traveled faster than the speed of light. As long as 186,000 miles per second remains the universal speed limit, your argument is flawed. Another way to prove Einstein wrong would be to prove Euclid's fifth [parallel] postulate, which would bring down all of Riemannian Geometry. But nobody has done this either. Einstein's theory still lives. Nice try though.
