Albert Einstein’s specific relativity theory could be partially wrong.

There are some Physicists arguing that Michelson-Morley cannot deny an existence of Aether if Aether does exist. Many people have also been wrongly assumed that, Einstein has forwarded his famous specific relativity theory to deny an absolute inertial reference frame and the Aether.
Strangely enough, his ideas, in the specific relativity ideas, can work whether the theory is also well fitted into an Aether scenario or not. Very interestingly, if being applied to Aether or an absolute reference frame, his theory can resolve many of its paradoxes, which cannot be explained properly if the theory is made to work without an absolute reference frame.
One well-known paradox is Twins’ paradox.
If we, in denying an absolute reference frame, assign a space mission to one of the Twins (Twin A) and tell him (Twin A) to live a moving spacecraft while at the same time tell the other Twin (Twin B) to communicate to his brother, there will be a possibility that each of the Twins may see that the other Twin is younger (or older) than himself. Who is actually younger? Such confusion is probably one of the reasons that specific relativity theory is rather kinky to all of us as laymen who require acceptable common sense
The Twins’ paradox can be reconciled if we have an absolute reference frame. If we suppose that the Earth is also moving as another spacecraft in some absolute reference frame (in fact the Earth does move in space), we can calculate the amount of time that Twin B has been aging quicker to this absolute reference frame. Let ‘s suppose this amount is T2 (by reference to the absolute frame’s time). We can also calculate the amount of time that Twin A has been aging quicker to this same absolute reference frame, to yield another value T1 (also by reference to the absolute frame’s time). Since T1 and T2 are definitely counted in the absolute frame, we can say who is aging more just by subtracting T2-T1.
If we rebuild Einstein’s specific relativity theory in Aether, there are some modifications to be made in his assumptions:
Let’s suppose we have an astronaut in a spacecraft watching life of our people on Earth
a) The length measurement of a line L of the other relatively static frame (the Earth) can be contracted or elongated, depending on its position seen by the coordinates’ half-plane of the moving inertial frame (the space craft). Also by this, the coefficient of length contraction or elongation is not of the same value.
b) Time rate is ticked quicker in the space craft with the same amount postulated by Einstein (using the well known coefficient sqrt (1-v^2/c^2).
c) Light speed on Earth is not seen as constant by the astronaut in the space craft, but rather higher, or lower than c, depending on the coordinates’ half-plane of the moving inertial frame (the space craft).
Einstein is not alive now for us to send him these ideas, so I post these for your consideration.
Cheers,
