And it is in line with other statements you have made that indicate you
believe time is absolute.

Can you convince me it is not?

Assume clocks do not slow with motion.
Assume light is a wave propagating in dielectric of free-space.
Assume this statement is true:

1 <<A Lorentz transformation or any other coordinate
transformation will convert electric or magnetic
fields into mixtures of electric and magnetic fields,
but no transformation mixes them with the
gravitational field. >>

What causality violating scenario can you devise
to show PoR conflicts with a constant
speed of light in the dielectric of free space?

I constantly see it refered to, but I can't
imagine what it is.

Constant speed of light in the dielectric for free space and the PoR imply
that events that appear simultaneous in one iFoR are NOT [in general] seen
as simultaneous in other iFoRs.

This, of course, involves light, but is true even if clocks collocated
with the event are used. Of course we are assuming that every point in the
iFoR can have its own clock and all are synchronized within that iFoR.

What part of this do you disagree with? It is all rather standard SR1905
or SR1920 both have the same explanations.

Einstein never recanted. He never withdrew SR. GR reduces to SR in zero g
and zero acceleration.
