: ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES By A. Einstein June 30, 1905:
: "...light is always propagated in empty space with a definite
velocity
: c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting
: body...

Third postulate:-
'we establish by definition that the "time" required by
light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it requires
to travel from B to A' because I SAY SO and you have to
agree because I'm the great genius, STOOOPID, don't you
dare question it. -- Albert Einstein,


Give it a rest andro .. you keep saying that same things over and over
without a single reason for why that would be a problem .. why the time
for
light to travel from A to B should be different to the time to travel the
same distance from B to A


But he is right. Time and speed in a gravitation field depend on the
intensity of the field (g value) and depend on the direction of the
movement.


Andro didn't say that. And Einstein was talking about in an inertial frame
(not withing a gravitational field)

See Inverse Square Law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Square_Law
Therefore the velocity and consequently the travel time is determined
by the direction of the movement within the gravity field.
Even light has to obey this law, cf. the above weblink.

Even Einstein has admitted this in his book. Einstein even goes further
and
says "... the law of constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo [...]
cannot claim
any unlimited validity." (Einstein's book "Relativity", Ch.22, p.85).


Of course not .. SR is the special case .. when gravitational potentials
aren't taken into account. That's all its supposed to be. GR is the
general case

Ie. Einstein says that light speed is not constant even in vacuum space!
This is obviously correct, also due to his own equivalence principle!
Ie. accelleration/deceleration in free space can be considered like being
in a gravity field.
So here are even double arguments which back the fact that the speed
of light is not constant when:
1) in gravity field, or
2) accellerating/decelerating
What remains is that the constancy of the speed of light is valid only
in situations where SR applies,


If you're not talking locally

ie. practically only in free space AND
either at rest or at a constant v.


SR can be used in accelerating frames of reference.

And as everybody knows (should know) for real world applications SR is
useless...


Its a very good approximation for many many cases. Just like classical
cases are good approximations at relatively low velocities.

Really . you've said nothing to support andro's obsession with and ridicule
of the quote from Einstein.
