Reference frames.
When you sit in a chair at home you observe the world from a frame reference that is firmly attached to earth. If you ride by in a car or plane on the other hand you observe the world from a frame of reference that is moving with respect to the earth. In either case you are an observer in the relative sence . In either frame of reference you could set up a physics lab and perform experiments. In either frame of reference you could describe physical phenomena and deduce laws of nature. No matter what your frame of reference you can think of your self as being stationary while the countryside whizzes past you.
Most of us think of earth as the right frame of reference and unconsciously put ourselves into an earthbound frame wether we are moving or not. But have you ever,whilst sitting in an aeroplane being pushed back from the gate or sat on a bus backing out of the station, thought for one moment that the plane or bus next to you was moving forwards. In that instant before your conscious mind took over and reimposed its prejudice you were a true relatistic observer. Your frame of reference was your own fixed centre of the universe and everything else was moving around you. Einstiens relativity.
You are contradicting yourself now or you don't understand frame of references.
I'll use your own example.
If you were riding on that photon (ie. the train) it would appear as though the mirror was coming at you at c. According to you on the photon you are stationary, non-moving meanwhile all other objects are whizzing by at c.
But this is not what you claimed earlier. You were saying that mirror is stationary in all frames of reference. This can not be the case if you take the frame of the photon.
It is clear you really don't have a grasp of physics. You have read a book and think you have understood what was explained but clearly you don't fully understand it. You think you do, which is cute but maybe physics is just not a subject for you.
