• Einstein's Constant-Speed-of-Light Nonsense

    John Stachel: Einstein's constant speed of light "seems to be nonsense":

    John Stachel: "But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem
    over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair." http://www.aip.org/history/exhibits/einstein/essay-einstein-relativity.htm

    The constancy of the speed of light is OBVIOUS NONSENSE. Frequency and speed of light pulses vary proportionally for the moving observer https://youtube.com/watch?v=bg7O4rtlwEE, in accordance with the formula

    (frequency) = (speed of pulses)/(distance between pulses)

    "Emission theory, also called emitter theory or ballistic theory of light, was a competing theory for the special theory of relativity, explaining the results of the Michelson–Morley experiment of 1887. [...] The name most often associated with
    emission theory is Isaac Newton. In his corpuscular theory Newton visualized light "corpuscles" being thrown off from hot bodies at a nominal speed of c with respect to the emitting object, and obeying the usual laws of Newtonian mechanics, and we then
    expect light to be moving towards us with a speed that is offset by the speed of the distant emitter (c ± v)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_theory

    So, in 1887, the Michelson-Morley experiment was compatible with Newton's variable speed of light, c'=c±v. Was the experiment simultaneously (that is, in 1887) compatible with the constant (independent of the motion of the emitter) speed of light, c'=c?
    In Einstein's schizophrenic world the answer is "yes".

    Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light nonsense that killed physics:

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=-Irlq3TFr8Q

    Space and time had to merge into a preposterous "spacetime", to fit the nonsensical constancy, and physics died - was replaced by an insane ideology immeasurably more powerful than Big Brother's ideology:

    "In special relativity, the speed of light remains constant by allowing both space and time to change in such a way as to keep the speed of light constant." https://coursehero.com/tutors-problems/Physics/28577046-According-to-special-relativity-the-speed-
    of-light-is-the-same-for-al/

    Michelle Thaller: "All of the universe shifts around this constant, the speed of light." https://youtube.com/watch?v=DO7J2YIz8tY

    Brian Greene: "If space and time did not behave this way, the speed of light would not be constant and would depend on the observer's state of motion. But it is constant; space and time do behave this way. Space and time adjust themselves in an exactly
    compensating manner so that observations of light's speed yield the same result, regardless of the observer's velocity." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/special-relativity-nutshell.html

    Neil deGrasse Tyson, Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries, pp. 123-124: "If everyone, everywhere and at all times, is to measure the same speed for the beam from your imaginary spacecraft, a number of things have to happen. First of all, as
    the speed of your spacecraft increases, the length of everything - you, your measuring devices, your spacecraft - shortens in the direction of motion, as seen by everyone else. Furthermore, your own time slows down exactly enough so that when you haul
    out your newly shortened yardstick, you are guaranteed to be duped into measuring the same old constant value for the speed of light. What we have here is a COSMIC CONSPIRACY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER." https://www.amazon.com/Death-Black-Hole-Cosmic-

    "Speed of light independent of the speed of the emitter" is false but in 1905 no one (except for Walther Ritz) questioned it, as it was the central tenet of the ether theory. However, combined with the principle of relativity, "speed of light independent
    of the speed of the emitter" entails "speed of light independent of the speed of the observer", which is obvious nonsense. Etherists never accepted it and ended up entangled in ambiguity:

    Olivier Darrigol, The Mystery of the Einstein-Poincaré Connection: "It is clear from the context that Poincaré meant here to apply the postulate [of constancy of the speed of light] only in an ether-bound frame, in which case he could indeed state that
    it had been "accepted by everybody." In 1900 and in later writings he defined the apparent time of a moving observer in such a way that the velocity of light measured by this observer would be the same as if he were at rest (with respect to the ether).
    This does not mean, however, that he meant the postulate to apply in any inertial frame. From his point of view, the true velocity of light in a moving frame was not a constant but was given by the Galilean law of addition of velocities." https://www.
    jstor.org/stable/10.1086/430652

    Einstein camouflaged the nonsense by vandalizing space and time - Neil deGrasse Tyson calls the procedure "cosmic conspiracy of the highest order":

    "But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem over a lengthy
    period of time, to the point of despair." https://history.aip.org/exhibits/einstein/essay-einstein-relativity.htm

    "Einstein pulled all of these ideas together in his 1905 theory of special relativity, which postulated that the speed of light was a constant. For this to be true, space and time had to be combined into a single framework that conspired to keep light's
    speed the same for all observers." https://www.livescience.com/space-time.html
