Is Einstein's SR a description of observations or a description of reality (or both)?
It seems tome the distinction is important.

What is the difference? How are we supposed to learn about reality other than through observing it?Is Einstein's SR a description of observations or a description of reality (or both)?
Perhaps you are alluding to Newton's theory, which contains a description (postulate) of hidden reality and a related description of observations (laws of motion). But only the description of observations can be tested, and most textbooks only mention the laws of motion. Is that what you are thinking of perhaps?Is Einstein's SR a description of observations or a description of reality (or both)?

i was just interested in the fact that the reality of one observer is different than the reality of a different observer.
As an object enter the event horizon of a black hole the observer sees the "entrant" slow down and even stop but the entrant enters
It seems to me that the observation doesn't coincide with the reality the entrant experiences.

Nonsense. Do you similarly think that the Doppler shift of a cars engine causes multiple realities? Or that different time zones make different realities. This is just silly.It seems to me that the observation doesn't coincide with the reality the entrant experiences.
