  1. In my tests of parallel circuitry just now, with 12 resistors, it seems that each resistor in parallel with each other resistor in the circuit was having the exact same amps as the input amperage

     

    Can you explain how you determined the current in each resistor?

     

     

    And a resistor LED measured at 150 kohms

     

    An LED is not a resistor. It has a non-linear voltage-current curve so the measured "resistance" will depend on the applied voltage.

     

     

    lit up, parallel with 11 resistors with resistances between 100 ohms and 8 kohms.

     

    The LED will light if there is sufficient voltage across it. You don't give enough information to say whether this is expected or not.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "a resistor LED" but you can't measure the resistance of an LED with a meter. It has a non-linear voltage-current relationship (i.e. it is not a resistor) and so the measured resistance will depend on the voltage.

    As long as there is still sufficient voltage across the diode, it will light up. You don't provide enough detail of your set up to comment any further.

     

    It's as if the very resistance itself was being negated as a concept in this circuit.

    It sounds more like you don't fully understand what is happening.

  3.  

    There would be more that simply rely on relativity being correct.

     

    As does much modern technology. Most modern semiconductors are now at the point where quantum effects need to be taken itno account in the design of manufacturing processes and the design of the individual components (transistors, LEDs, wiring, etc) on the chip. If quantum theory were wrong it would be very obvious. And this depends on SR being correct.

  4. Is there a link to those 100 experiments on Einstein? I only found a page with about 25, and they all seemed to be different versions of the exact same experiment.

    And Wikipedia has like 4 more, but they seem to be explainable by alternative means.

     

    Some may be different versions of the same basic idea in order to eliminate other possible explanations, or to increase the accuracy.

     

    There are also many thousands of tests which are equivalent to directly testing SR, for example tests of Lorentz invariance. Some of these have been done to extraoridinary levels of accuracy.
