SPECIAL RELATIVITY IS INHERENTLY CONTRADICTORY

The shortened wavelength then travels to the observer who measures, as a result, a higher frequency. But when the observer (receiver) starts moving towards the source, the situation is entirely different (according to the Albert Einstein's Institute): the wavelength that travels between source and receiver is not shortened and the higher frequency measured by the receiver is due to the motion of the receiver:

Albert Einstein Institute: "The frequency of a wave-like signal - such as sound or light - depends on the movement of the sender and of the receiver. This is known as the Doppler effect. (...) Due to the sender's motion, the distance between two successive pulses in this case is not d, but d-D. But when the distance between successive pulses is smaller, the time interval that passes between their arrival at the detector is also smaller or, put differently, the frequency with which the pulses arrive at the detector is higher! (...) Here is an animation of the receiver moving towards the source: (...) By observing the two indicator lights, you can see for yourself that, once more, there is a blue-shift - the pulse frequency measured at the receiver is somewhat higher than the frequency with which the pulses are sent out. This time, the distances between subsequent pulses are not affected, but still there is a frequency shift: As the receiver moves towards each pulse, the time until pulse and receiver meet up is shortened. In this particular animation, which has the receiver moving towards the source at one third the speed of the pulses themselves, four pulses are received in the time it takes the source to emit three pulses."



Clearly the principle of relativity is violated - the travelling wavelength cannot be shorter when the source moves towards the observer and longer when the observer moves towards the source . The following conclusion restores the validity of the principle of relativity:



Conclusion: The moving source sends the same wavelength as the stationary source.



But if the moving source sends the same wavelength as the stationary source, why does the observer measure a greater frequency when the light comes from the moving source? The formula:



(frequency measured by the observer) = (speed of light relative to the observer)/(wavelength)



gives the only possible answer: the observer measures a greater frequency when the light comes from the moving source because, relative to him, the speed of the light coming from the moving source is greater, in violation of special relativity.

Even being right is of no value, especially when so much is invested in the mostly Semitic reinforced version of everything.

We're taking about thousands of highly paid individuals that would be put at risk of losing everything if SR were invalidated, or even interpreted differently for all the right reasons.
