Default The Lie That the Speed of Light Is Constant

That the speed of light is variable, not constant, is obvious. When the initially stationary observer starts moving towards the light source with speed v, the frequency he measures shifts from f=c/λ to f'=(c+v)/λ. This means that either the speed of the light relative to the observer shifts from c to c'=c+v, or the motion of the observer somehow changes the wavelength of the incoming light - from λ to λ'=λc/(c+v). The latter scenario is absurd - the motion of the observer is obviously unable to change the wavelength of the incoming light.

Conclusion: The speed of light is different to differently moving observers (varies with the speed of the observer), in violation of Einstein's relativity.
