Default How Einsteinians Brainwash the Gullible World

Brian Greene explains to the gullible world that, since Maxwell's theory had shown that the speed of light is constant, unalterable, space and time had to adjust themselves in order that the speed of light stayed fixed:

How did Einstein realize that motion affects space and time?

Actually Maxwell's 19th century electromagnetic theory had predicted that the speed of light VARIES with the speed of the observer (for that reason Maxwell's theory and special relativity were incompatible):

John Norton: "That [Maxwell's] theory allows light to slow and be frozen in the frame of reference of a sufficiently rapidly moving observer."

Stephen Hawking: "Maxwell's theory predicted that radio or light waves should travel at a certain fixed speed. But Newton's theory had got rid of the idea of absolute rest, so if light was supposed to travel at a fixed speed, one would have to say what that fixed speed was to be measured relative to. It was therefore suggested that there was a substance called the "ether" that was present everywhere, even in "empty" space. Light waves should travel through the ether as sound waves travel through air, and their speed should therefore be relative to the ether. Different observers, moving relative to the ether, would see light coming toward them at different speeds, but light's speed relative to the ether would remain fixed."

Gabrielle Bonnet, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon: "Les équations de Maxwell font en particulier intervenir une constante, c, qui est la vitesse de la lumière dans le vide. Par un changement de référentiel classique, si c est la vitesse de la lumière dans le vide dans un premier référentiel, et si on se place désormais dans un nouveau référentiel en translation par rapport au premier Ã* la vitesse constante v, la lumière devrait désormais aller Ã* la vitesse c-v si elle se déplace dans la direction et le sens de v, et Ã* la vitesse c+v si elle se déplace dans le sens contraire."
