How else can we explain :

Imprimis : That a light ray has different lengths for different observers. (cf. B.)

ii. That the length of a light ray is indeterminate? - both gigantic, and nothing, within the Einstein- train embankment carriage : (cf. B.)

iii. That a light ray can be both bent and straight. Bent for one observer, and straight for another : (cf. C.)

iv. That a light rays "bends" mid-flight in an effort to be consistent with an Absolute event which lies in the future : (cf. C.)

v. That these extraordinary things -- this extraordinary behaviour, (including the "constancy of speed") are so that the reality is consistent among the observers -- in the future. (cf. D, B, C)

vi. That light may proceed at different rates to the same place--- wholly on account of the reality at that place having to be consistent among the observers : (cf. D, A)
