Photon propagation during source/target shifts falsifies special theory time dilation

Reflected laser light spots on distant targets were observed for 24 h periods by two separate laboratories. Although claims made in one study suggested this was not the case, in fact both data sets indicate no sufficiently significant shift of the centers of the reflected spots on the targets as the earth orbited and revolved during the measurements. This means that photons from the laser sources also travel lateral with the earth and targets so as not to shift the target arrival spot. This demonstrates the phenomenon termed synchronous aberration. The fact that photons do not follow the linear line along the ground between source and target but rather follow a diagonal, from the source at an original position to the target at a later shifted position, means that a stationary outside observer, but not an observer moving with the system, could be aware of the distance traveled to compute time for the event. Time dilation due to motion in special relativity theory is thus disproven, where a moving observer would merely use the ground distance between source and target to compute time incorrectly. Time for a light event is not dependent on motion of an observer that does not control the event, but may be incorrectly computed by an observer in motion. Physics texts must be corrected to avoid this long-held misconception in the future.
