Default Arbitrarily Varying Lengths: the Universal Fudge Factor inEinstein's Relativity

A crucial hoax: The moving observer sees the wavelength shortened (so that the speed of light can gloriously remain constant):

Kip Thorne: "If you move toward the [light] source, you see the wavelength shortened but you don't see the speed changed" https://youtu.be/mvdlN4H4T54?t=296

John Norton: "Every sound or light wave has a particular frequency and wavelength. In sound, they determine the pitch; in light they determine the color. Here's a light wave and an observer. If the observer were to hurry towards the source of the light, the observer would now pass wavecrests more frequently than the resting observer. That would mean that moving observer would find the frequency of the light to have increased (and correspondingly for the wavelength - the distance between crests - to have decreased)." http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teachi...ved/index.html

If the speed of light is constant as per Einstein, the motion of the observer must idiotically change the wavelength of the incoming light (otherwise the speed of light is not constant). Sometimes Einsteinians extend the idiocy beyond light - here it is applied to sound waves:

Martin White teaches that the motion of the observer miraculously changes the wavelength (so that the speed of the wave relative to the observer can remain constant). Physicists know that this is an idiocy, at least for sound waves, but don't protest. Typical of insane ideology:

Professor Martin White, UC Berkeley: "...the sound waves have a fixed wavelength (distance between two crests or two troughs) only if you're not moving relative to the source of the sound. If you are moving away from the source (or equivalently it is receding from you) then each crest will take a little longer to reach you, and so you'll perceive a longer wavelength. Similarly if you're approaching the source, then you'll be meeting each crest a little earlier, and so you'll perceive a shorter wavelength. [...] The same principle applies for light as well as for sound. In detail the amount of shift depends a little differently on the speed, since we have to do the calculation in the context of special relativity. But in general it's just the same: if you're approaching a light source you see shorter wavelengths (a blue-shift), while if you're moving away you see longer wavelengths (a red-shift)." http://w.astro.berkeley.edu/~mwhite/...plershift.html
