Laws yes,
theories... who cares.

I didn't say anything about theories, though I'm curious what you think
the difference between laws of physics and theories of physics is.

and you did no such thing about showing a non simultaneous
dropping occuring.

I didn't say anything about dropping either. I gave you an example of
lightning striking midway between two points in a stiff wind, and the
sound arriving nonsimultaneously at the two points, all consistent with
the laws of physics of sound. Do you doubt that this happens in real
life?
