SR really stands for stupid relativity. SR says that

Stupid Relativity.

What Globarr stand for?
Stupid Aether.


Thanks for reading.

4D is just a model. One can e.g. set up Newtonian mechanics as a 4D
system. Or set up SR as a 3D system (which is what Einstein did in
1905).

And of course we all disagree on this point.

Tell me Gerald. What does the term "4-D reality" mean to you? The literal
meaning of it means that all possible events require three spatial
coordinates and 1 temporal coordinate. This existed before relativity but
found extended use after relativity and in an entirely new way.

Sure there is. As I see the problem here is that you're making far too much
out of 4D spacetime than there really is. The _only_ meaning that can be
assigned to this 4-D relatity is that events have a location and a time.
That's all there is to it. If you look at your clock then that yields and
event in spacetime. You knew where you were at the time you were there.

Wow

So does LET stand for Loser Ether Theory?

That's what experimental evidence says

And no test shows that reality it is not 4D. Did you forget to point that
out?
