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
The constant-speed-of-light axiom is OBVIOUS NONSENSE. The frequency increases for moving observer BECAUSE the speed of light pulses relative to him increases (no other reason exists):

Peter Woit: "...as seems increasingly all too possible, we're now at an endpoint of fundamental physics..." http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=9444theories is typically 100. In super-symmetric theories, the minimum is 120. And as you may have heard, string theory seems to predict 10 to the power of 1,000 different possible laws of physics. It’s called the multiverse. It’s the ultimate
Dead physics means dead civilization. Woit blames string theory but actually physics was killed by the metastases of Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light nonsense.

Neil Turok: "The extensions of the standard model, like grand unified theories, they were supposed to simplify it. But in fact they made it more complicated. The number of parameters in the standard model is about 18. The number in grand unified
