It should be very clear at this stage the Doppler shift no matter how
you fudge it to be should agree with the energy transform as described
below.


** f’ / f = (1 + [v] * [c]) / sqrt(1 – v^2 / c^2)


Where


** [v] = Velocity vector between frames of f and f’
** [c] = Velocity vector of light
** [] * [] = dot product of two vectors


Its' already been established that you don't know how to derive
anything in relativity. What's the point in going over old ground?


So, the college dropout thinks the equation above is wrong under SR.

You were just given the derivation of the Doppler effect and you just
agreed that your derivation is wrong. Yet here we are again.


What derivation? Well, the college dropout cannot weasel its way out
of this one. Under the transverse case,

** f’ / f = 1 / sqrt(1 – v^2 / c^2)

Where

** [v] * [c] = 0

If you don't know what the symbols mean, just ask. Don't just start
swapping them around and call it a day.

Let’s get this straight. The college dropout is bitching about
something it has not read. What else is new and expected from a
college dropout? shrug
