Cahill would argue with you. He would argue that the
fundamentals of relativity are wrong. See his papers:

Then again, the standard physicist is a rank-and-file
man when it boils down to adherance to tradition, so
in a sense, the whole lot of them agree on a common
interpretation - as promulgated in the FAQ.

But this is not physics. It's simply restatement of a series
of hypotheses and theories that lack unification, much
like religious studies.

Physics is about nature, not technology.
Technology is man-made-knowns.
Nature is a series of unknowns.
