Einstein, Relativity and Absolute Simultaneity
by William Lane CraigEinstein, Relativity and Absolute Simultaneity is an anthology of original essays by an international team of leading philosophers and physicists who have come together to reassess the contemporary paradigm of the relativistic concept of time.

This book presents the recent experimental evidence and theoretical considerations that support the existence of absolute simultaneity or a preferred frame. Chapters discuss Einstein's Special and General Relativity, Aspects' and others experiments on the EPR correlations, Bohm-deBroglie quantum physics, Lorentzian interpretations of relativity, a means of defining absolute similtaneity in terms of a conservation principle for spacetime, the notion of absolute simultaneity in a universe with a Robertson-Walker line element, and related topics.
I started this book and managed to finish the first chapter. I then decided that the rest of the book would be way over my head.
