Can you suggest any tests for validity?
We seem to be OK on GPS SR correction. Our theory would seem to
accomodate relativity of simultaneity, the latter being defined then
as equal values, according to the light equation, of transit times of
signals to an observer from two events, simulataneous in the frame of
issue.
Well, that right there is a test for validity ... but the test
is already failed. If two distinct events are simultaneous
"in the frame of issue" or any other frame, then there cannot
be any signals that "transit" from one event to the other.
To say the same thing in modern (post-1908) terminology: there
is a spacelike separation between the two events. The worldline
of a signal is either timelike or lightlike.
