Ah, the old "it's Einstein so it must be right" gambit. People used to say that about Newton - until experiment proved that he didn't have the full picture. It's highly improbable that relativity is any different. Yes, it gives demonstrably correct answers, but that doesn't mean that it holds in all cases. I mean, why would we be even talking about LQG if we thought relativity gave the full picture? You're right that I was wrong to say it moved from one reference frame to another, which is clearly bollocks - the EM undergoes an acceleration to relativistic mass, then a deceleration.

You are proposing an experiment that shows that momentum does not always conserve. That's great, it's hard to accept the results (extraordinary evidence and everything), but if they hold, it's great. Now, you do a huge amount of handwaving to try to explain the results, and in your handwaving you break another basic, unrelated principle. This time, no, I just won't accept your conclusions, you have no reason to break two principles when your experiments support only one. By the way, the relativity priciple was first stated by Galileo, not Einstein.
