Addendum

Don,

The theory of relativity, which is supported by a century of experimental and observational evidence, asserts that there is no absolute frame of reference.

I think your difficulty stems from the fact that you believe in something you called absolute space, or something like that. You have posted other claims based on that assumption, which seems intuitive but does not stand up to experiments and observations.

Despite numerous attempts to detect the "aether," which would be such an absolute frame of reference, the evidence supports the idea that all motion is relative and that the speed of light is the same to all observers regardless of their motion relative to one another.

I hope this helps -- even though it tosses out most of your claims.
