Einstein was trying to once again derive his x'=g(x-vt) and t'=g(t-vx/cc).
It is not possible to do so without (a) assuming the conclusion or (b)
mixing in absurdities.

Besides x=ct, x=-ct, and x=vt, three pairs of absurd contradictions for any
t<>0, he also asserted x'=ct' and x'=-ct' which are also mutual exclusive
for the intended t'<>0.

Also, of course, for the x' and t' he ends up with, it is not true that
x'=ct', nor x'=-ct'. But what's a couple more absurdities to the SR-cult?

He ends up with x'=g(x-vt).

Let v=.866c approx, so g=2. Let x=100 and t=100.

x'=g(x-vt) = 2(100 - .866(100))= 2(13.4)= 26.8.

x'=ct = 1(100)=100.

Just a wee contradiction, wouldn't you say?

But what is a mountain of absurdity to the likes of Uncle assAl, Dirk the
Dim, Ghost, etc?

My little tale about Dirk The Dim and his relentless search for the truth of
2+3=5 and the pencil law shows another example of the Eisteinian/Dirkian
absurdity.
