Default Why are the 'Fixed Stars' so FIXED?

Which of course is plainly impossible.


Do you mean that SR geometry is contradictory ?


It's worse than that.

Why should little planet Earth be
special, the only object in the entire universe
relative to which light _doesn't_ move at c and for
which the rule that governs the rest of the universe
doesn't apply?

Come on George, even Einstein admitted that light will be seen to
approach moving objects at c+v.


Are you, like Andro****, confusing closing velocity with relative
velocity, or are you just lying as usual ?


MY BaTh theory relies solely on 'closing velocity'.
Maybe you will now realise how pathetically stupid you are.


Closing velocity is not 'real' velocity as seen by either of the objects
involved in the closing. It is a value computed by a third observer and
gives the closing velocity of the two objects as seen by the third
observer.

The closing velocity has NO effect upon the transit time of one of the
objects as seen by the other object.

In other words, if BaTh deals with 'closing velocity' then it tells you
NOTHING about how long it takes the light to make its journey.

I am afraid that either BaTh must NOT be using 'closing velocity' or you
have just proven that BaTh produces no measurable effect on the travel time
of the light in its journey to earth (or to any other observer).
