Default Einstein's 1946 Masterful Hoax

Brian Cox flies towards the spotlight at 0.75c and informs the gullible audience that the light hits him in the face at c, not 1.75c, and that this was a prediction of Maxwell's 19th century theory:

Einstein's Relativity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpw68rvF4pc

This independence of the speed of light from the speed of the observer is too idiotic to be Maxwell's idea - it can only be Einstein's idea:

John Stachel: "But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair." http://www.aip.org/history/exhibits/...relativity.htm

Maxwell's 19th century theory predicted that the speed of light VARIES with the speed of the observer (Brian Cox is lying blatantly):

John Norton: "That [Maxwell's] theory allows light to slow and be frozen in the frame of reference of a sufficiently rapidly moving observer." http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers/Chasing.pdf
