suppose you have a great idea about showing the theory of special relativity is wrong (this is a quite common theme among ATM threads), by re-interpreting the MMX for example.

i fit into this category (although my reinterpretation of the mmx is that it is a successful measurement of the inertial rest moment of the earth).

Well, no matter what you may be able to show, you have some other homework to do, before you can show that your idea has legs: you also have to show that Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is wrong

no, i don't think so.
as you will recall, my main proof was that, in the case of doppler radar, one of the "frames" does not obey the rules of SR.
ie: the moving car that is being tested for velocity with a radar gun,
intercepts light at a non-C relative velocity.
SR is therefore shown to be incorrect at the macro level....and now (just like back at the time when my thread was active..and it suddenly morphed from an "idea" to a "testable theory"... and with no-one able to refute my proof) you want me to pass onto dealing with QED too.
again.. i say no.
SR does not describe reality...it is not my concern to then check whether QED does or does not as well....it is instead incumbent on the theorists to prove that they haven't made a fundamental error (in QED) just like they did in SR (as proven by doppler radar).
you mention that QED is very successful?.....you also said that about SR, yet it is wrong.
