DaleSpam said:This is incorrect. For the train observer there is a fixed pattern that the ground is moving under. Obviously a pattern which is fixed relative to the train observer is not fixed relative to the ground observer. You cannot use the non-existence of a fixed pattern in one frame to show the non-existence of a fixed pattern in another frame since the property of being fixed or not is frame variant.
Fixed is fixed to the ground. What i meant by fixed is the isocenter of the pattern corresponds to a mid-point of the train at the time rays exiting slits relative to the ground observer. So I am not interested in a pattern that spread across a long distance in the direction of the train
