Postulate in Big Brother’s world: 2 + 2 = 5

Consequence: 3(2 + 2) = 3x5 = 15

On the other hand: 3(2 + 2) = 3x2 + 3x2 = 12

The paradox shows how exciting and revolutionary Big Brother’s science is.

Postulate in Albert Einstein’s world: The speed of light is constant.

Consequence: If two clocks are in relative motion, either clock runs slower than the other as judged from the other clock’s system.

The paradox shows how exciting and revolutionary Albert Einstein’s science is.

Bryan Wallace: "Einstein's special relativity theory with his second postulate that the speed of light in space is constant is the linchpin that holds the whole range of modern physics theories together. Shatter this postulate, and modern physics becomes
an elaborate farce!"

The observer starts moving towards the light source:

Two obvious facts in this particular scenario:

(A) The speed and the frequency of the light pulses vary proportionally for the observer.

(B) The wavelength (distance between light pulses) remains constant.

The fact (B) remains true in ANY scenario (moving emitter, moving observer, presence or absence of gravity) and will become the fundamental axiom of future, Einstein-free physics (if the death of physics is not irreversible):

The wavelength of light is constant (for a given emitter).

Important corollaries:

Corollary 1: Any frequency shift entails (is caused by) a proportional speed-of-light shift.

Corollary 2: If the emitter and the observer (receiver) travel towards each other with relative speed v, the speed of light as measured by the observer is c' = c+v, as per Newton's theory.

Corollary 3: Spacetime and gravitational waves (ripples in spacetime) don't exist. LIGO's "discoveries" are fake.

Corollary 4: Light falls in a gravitational field with the same acceleration as ordinary falling bodies - near Earth's surface the accelerations of falling photons is g = 9.8 m/s^2. Accordingly, there is no gravitational time dilation: Einstein's general
relativity is an absurdity.

Corollary 5: The Hubble redshift is due to light slowing down as it travels through vacuum. The universe is not expanding.
