One of the conclusions is:
Einstein mixes up the real physical world and the measurement of it by insinuating that if the real length ‘l’ of a rod is measured by an observer moving with constant velocity relative to the rod, this measurement will differ from that real length (“...we shall find that it differs from l.”). This is in contradiction to the principle that each physical law is the same in any inertial system.
Given the mentioned principle he should have concluded that such an observation must have been carried out incorrectly.
Moreover: he effectively took an arbitrary method for his observation, read: measurement.
Another conclusion, especially meant for the astronomer, is that light rays in the universe in principle don’t reach the earth with velocity c relative to earth.
The real velocity is c+v, with v the velocity of the source at the moment of emission relative to the velocity of the earth at the moment of reception, both projected on the direction of the light ray.

For those who don’t want to humiliate themselves by visiting vixra the article is attached too.
Glad to see he's OK. I've been getting emails from him for years, but didn't get any new ones for a while. It's funny, but I started missing those periodic "what you are doing is nonsense" emails, and was a little worried something happened to him.
