Why are the 'Fixed Stars' so FIXED?

While this does NOT prove SR is correct, it clearly proves that we can
NOT use v_effective = v1+v2 under any circumstances where either v1 or
v2 are a significant fraction of c and get the correct (as verified by
experiment) predictions.
Bob, nobody has measured OWLS and is never likely to.
Correction: That should be 'from a moving source'.
It might be just possible to compare OWLS from two differently moving
sources...but not in the lab.
A straw man.
Also, not true.
In any case, I was not talking about the speed of light but the speed of
particles moving near the speed of light ('v1 and v2 are a significant
fraction of the speed of c').
Build your own particle accelerator, using the predictions of BaTh and see
if you can get particles to move faster than c as is implied by v_effective
=(v1+v2) rather than v_effective = composition(v1,v2).
If we lived in a universe where BaTh worked, v1+v2 would work. It MUST so
that c+v will work unless you say that c+v ONLY applies to massless
particles and THEN you must explain how the massive particles 'know' they
must go slower than c when they are surrounded by photons moving faster
than c as they would be if c'=c+v worked.
You must play by the rules of the game.
Everything must be consistent with c'=c+v. You must deal with all the
implications, you can not pick and choose which you want to deal with.
Rubbish
