Default Einstein's Constant Speed of Light: Consistent 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."o http://www.aip.org/history/exhibits/...relativity.htm

This nonsense represents the first heavy blow on physics students's rationality:

Joe Wolfe: "At this stage, many of my students say things like "The invariance of the speed of light among observers is impossible" or "I can't understand it". Well, it's not impossible. It's even more than possible, it is true. This is something that has been extensively measured, and many refinements to the Michelson and Morley experiment, and complementary experiments have confirmed this invariance to very great precision. As to understanding it, there isn't really much to understand. However surprising and weird it may be, it is the case. It's the law in our universe. The fact of the invariance of c doesn't take much understanding." http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/einstein...eird_logic.htm

Then Joe Wolfe and other brainwashers will continue to talk nonsense, loudly and repeatedly - in the end students will become indistinguishable from Bingo the Clowno:
