    Supports→The train becomes wreckage in a collision and not the church tower because the train is ripped out of the pathway of the guiding field, while the church tower is not.

    The guiding field provides a physical distinction between the two objects' states of motion.

    to replace the geometric difference between uniform and accelerated motion with the dynamic difference between guidance and force. Opponents of Einstein asked the question: Since the church tower receives a jolt in its motion relative to the train just as the train receives a jolt in its motion relative to the church tower, why does the train become a wreckage and not the church tower which it passes? Common sense would answer: because the train is ripped out of the pathway of the guiding f
