Relativists have always claimed Divine Albert rigorously deduced his

countless violations of the theory but somehow forget to relate them to
the problem of the truth or falsehood of the postulates. So Nobel
prizewinners have found some Lorentz violation and have dared (those
that are not Nobel prizewinners would never dare) to challenge Divine
Albert and "rewrite the rules of Einstein's special theory of
relativity":

Perhaps in Very Special Relativity Einstein's false second postulate
will prove Very Little False. Perhaps not. Who knows.

Special relativity is what it says SPECIAL.
It simply is NOT TRUE if used in any situation where there is even the
slightest gravitational force of any kind.
Actually, practically speaking, it is valid in every situation
where the "gravitational force of any kind" is sufficiently
small to have influence on the measurements and therefore
to remain undetected.
This is why it is used in the microcosm far more than it is used here.
All the proofs against special relativity that I have seen were by
people who did not understand the meaning of SPECIAL in special
relativity.
You haven't seen the proofs made by people who didn't
have a clue about relativity then ;-)
