In other words, it is impossible to perform a physical
experiment which differentiates in any fundamental sense
between different inertial frames. By definition, Newton's
laws of motion take the same form in all inertial frames.
Einstein generalized[1] this result in his special theory of
relativity by asserting that all laws of physics take the
same form in all inertial frames. >>

I agree

By the way, Einstein made mistakes

The inclusion of the name is the author's choice,
not mine and it is not even common practice to
include it. If you have seen some complaints that
the quoted statement of PoR doesn't mean what we think it
it means, the complaints may offer some insight why
the author went out of his way to mention Einstein.

Some intense study and comparison of the two forms
of Maxwell's equations presented in the lectures may be
necessary to convince some readers that the statement means
exactly what it says. The folks that like to
exploit the flaws in non-relativistic Maxwell's
equations and choose thought experiments over
real experiments to perpetuate misunderstanding
don't really want a rational solution to the postlates
of SR and will never invest the time.
