Re: Basis of SR?

It doesn't. SR "comes from" a combination of the work of Lorentz, Poincaré, and Einstein around the turn of the last century (a few others contributed in lesser amounts). The MMX is NOT AT ALL the only experimental support for SR -- see this link to learn how outrageously wrong that notion is:

While the MMX itself does not refute all other theories, the COMBINATION of all those experiments does indeed refute all other theories, except for those that are experimentally indistinguishable from SR (within its domain of applicability).
