Re: What is LET?

Thus space-time is truly Galilean wrt LET.

I don't know about "space-time", because there is no sensible geometric interpretation of LET (except, perhaps, geometry in the ether frame as "absolute"). But in LET it is quite clear that the coordinates of a moving frame are related to the ether-frame coordinates by a Lorentz transform. That is inconsistent with your claim here.


In the context of LET, which amounts effectively to different
interpretation of the Lorentz transform, events that are simultaneous
wrt an observer in K are indeed also simultaneous wrt an observer in
K' [...]

Not for the usual definition of simultaneity, which is that events with identical time coordinates are simultaneous.
