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." http://www.aip.org/history/exhibits/...relativity.htm

"Seems to be nonsense" is a red herring. Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light axiom is OBVIOUS NONSENSE, but an all-powerful ideology forces scientists to believe the opposite of what they see. Einsteinians clearly see that the frequency and the speed of the light pulses vary proportionally for the moving observer in Doppler

but believe that only the frequency varies - the speed of the pulses gloriously remains constant. Such a behaviour was explained long time ago:

Ignatius of Loyola: "We should always be prepared so as never to err to believe that what I see as white is black, if the hierarchical Church defines it thus."

The formula

(frequency) = (speed of light) / (wavelength)

says that the speed of light is constant as per Einstein

if and only if

ANY frequency shift entails (is caused by) an inversely proportional wavelength shift.

The consequent, "any frequency shift entails (is caused by) an inversely proportional wavelength shift", is obviously false, even absurd:

Doppler effect - when an observer moves toward a stationary source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg7O4rtlwEE

"Thus, the moving observer sees a wave possessing the same wavelength [...] but a different frequency [...] to that seen by the stationary observer." http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teachin...ml/node41.html

Accordingly, the antecedent, "the speed of light is constant as per Einstein", is false as well.
