Default DOPPLER TOPPLES EINSTEIN

http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teachin...ml/node41.html
University of Texas: "Thus, the moving observer sees a wave possessing the same wavelength (...) but a different frequency (...) to that seen by the stationary observer. This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect."

That is, the observer moving towards the light source with speed v measures the frequency to be:

f' = f(1+v/c) = (c+v)/L = c'/L

where f=c/L is the frequency measured by the stationary observer, L is the wavelength, and c'=c+v is the speed of the light waves relative to the moving observer.

Clearly the Doppler effect topples Einstein's relativity.
