Default Future (Einstein-Free) Physics

"Is it time to free physics from Einstein's legacy?" https://www.newscientist.com/article...steins-legacy/

"...the speed of light might not be constant at all. Shock, horror! Does this mean the next Great Revolution in Science is just around the corner?" http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ma...einsteinwrong/

Joao Magueijo, Niayesh Afshordi, Stephon Alexander: "So we have broken fundamentally this Lorentz invariance which equates space and time [...] It's the other postulate of relativity, that of constancy of c, that has to give way..." https://youtu.be/kbHBBtsrU1g?t=1431

"Must we topple Einstein to let physics leap forward again?"

Technically, "to free physics from Einstein's legacy" is easy - you denounce the constant-speed-of-light nonsense and Einstein's relativity, entirely predicated on the nonsense, automatically collapses. The problem is that the idiocies (e.g. time travel) triggered by the nonsense are now inherent in the culture of our civilization - removing them may produce an incurable psychological trauma and greatly accelerate the decline of the civilization. So, paradoxically, continuing to worship Einstein's idiocies may turn out to be the only civilization-friendly strategy.

In the next, Einstein-free version of fundamental physics (if any), Einstein's 1905 nonsensical axiom

"The speed of light is constant"

will be replaced with the correct axiom

"For a given emitter, the wavelength of light is constant".

I have developed the idea in a series of tweets he https://twitter.com/pentcho_valev
