EINSTEIN CRIMINAL CULT GOT RID OF THE FALSE LIGHT POSTULATE

http://www.physorg.com/news111075100.html
"Further, Einstein based his theories on the assumption that the speed
of light, c, is constant, and used gedanken ("thought") experiments
involving light rays to reach his conclusions. Now Joel Gannett, a
Senior Scientist in the Applied Research Area of Telcordia
Technologies in Red Bank, New Jersey, has found that Einstein didn't
have to do the work the hard way. A researcher in optical networking
technologies, Gannett has shown that the Lorentz transformations and
velocity addition law can be derived without assuming the constancy of
the speed of light, without thought experiments, and without calculus.
In this case, Einsteinian relativity could have been discovered
several centuries before Einstein."

The discovery is breathtaking of course but it seems to me that this
Joel Gannett is a plagiarist: the same discovery has already been made
by three geniuses: Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond, Tom Roberts and Jong-Ping
Hsu:

Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond: "This is the point of view from wich I intend
to criticize the overemphasized role of the speed of light in the
foundations of the special relativity, and to propose an approach to
these foundations that dispenses with the hypothesis of the invariance
of c....We believe that special relativity at the present time stands
as a universal theory discribing the structure of a common space-time
arena in which all fundamental processes take place....The evidence of
the nonzero mass of the photon would not, as such, shake in any way
the validity of the special relalivity. It would, however, nullify all
its derivations which are based on the invariance of the photon
velocity."

Tom Roberts: "If it is ultimately discovered that the photon has a
nonzero mass (i.e. light in vacuum does not travel at the invariant
speed of the Lorentz transform), SR would be unaffected but both
Maxwell's equations and QED would be refuted (or rather, their domains
of applicability would be reduced)."

Jong-Ping Hsu: "....unexpected affirmative answer to the long-standing
question of whether it is possible to construct a relativity theory
without postulating the constancy of the speed of light and retaining
only the first postulate of special relativity. This question was
discussed in the early years following the discovery of special
relativity by many physicists, including Ritz, Tolman, Kunz, Comstock
and Pauli, all of whom obtained negative answers."

Still the plagiarism is not so important in this case. What is
important is that Einstein criminal cult finally got rid of Einstein's
false light postulate and now Einstein zombie world is going to see a
new unimaginable development of Einstein's relativity.

The original discoverer is undoubtedly Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond:

http://o.castera.free.fr/pdf/chronogeometrie.pdf
Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond: "D'autre part, nous savons aujourd'hui que
l'invariance de la vitesse de la lumiere est une consequence de la
nullite de la masse du photon. Mais, empiriquement, cette masse, aussi
faible soit son actuelle borne superieure experimentale, ne peut et ne
pourra jamais etre consideree avec certitude comme rigoureusement
nulle. Il se pourrait meme que de futures mesures mettent en evidence
une masse infime, mais non-nulle, du photon ; la lumiere alors n'irait
plus a la "vitesse de la lumiere", ou, plus precisement, la vitesse de
la lumiere, desormais variable, ne s'identifierait plus a la vitesse
limite invariante. Les procedures operationnelles mises en jeu par le
"second postulat" deviendraient caduques ipso facto. La theorie elle-
meme en serait-elle invalidee? Heureusement, il n'en est rien ; mais,
pour s'en assurer, il convient de la refonder sur des bases plus
solides, et d'ailleurs plus economiques. En verite, le "premier
postulat" suffit, a la condition de l'exploiter a fond."

Many years ago, when Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond had already been making
money by teaching that Einstein's second (light) postulate is
redundant, other discoverers, e.g. Tom Roberts, were still applying
for a Government grant in the Ministry of Silly Walks (Einstein
Criminal Cult):

Tom Roberts, 15 years ago: "Well sir, I have a silly walk and I'd like
to obtain a Government grant to help me develop it....I think that
with Government backing I could make it very silly."

Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond, Tom Roberts etc. can be called head-in-the-
sand discoverers. They just want to forget about Einstein's false
light postulate and enjoy the fact that, even if "light in vacuum does
not travel at the invariant speed of the Lorentz transform", special
relativity "would be unaffected". However there is another group of
discoverers in Einstein criminal cult who do not always stick their
heads in the sand. They have discovered that, since Einstein's false
light postulate will have to be abandoned, its negation - the variable
speed of light given by Newton's emission theory - will have to be
introduced. Of course Einstein's special relativity will remain, by
definition, "unaffected":

http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/i6272.html
John Stachel: "Not only is the theory [of relativity] compatible with
an emission theory of radiation, since it implies that the velocity of
light is always the same relative to its source; the theory also
requires that radiation transfer mass between an emitter and an
absorber, reinforcing Einstein's light quantum hypothesis that
radiation manifests a particulate structure under certain
circumstances."

http://ustl1.univ-lille1.fr/culture/...40/pgs/4_5.pdf
Jean Eisenstaedt: "Il n'y a alors aucune raison theorique a ce que la
vitesse de la lumiere ne depende pas de la vitesse de sa source ainsi
que de celle de l'observateur terrestre ; plus clairement encore, il
n'y a pas de raison, dans le cadre de la logique des Principia de
Newton, pour que la lumiere se comporte autrement - quant a sa
trajectoire - qu'une particule materielle. Il n'y a pas non plus de
raison pour que la lumiere ne soit pas sensible a la gravitation.
Bref, pourquoi ne pas appliquer a la lumiere toute la theorie
newtonienne ? C'est en fait ce que font plusieurs astronomes,
opticiens, philosophes de la nature a la fin du XVIIIeme siecle. Les
resultats sont etonnants... et aujourd'hui nouveaux."

Translation from French: "Therefore there is no theoretical reason why
the speed of light should not depend on the speed of the source and
the speed of the terrestrial observer as well; even more clearly,
there is no reason, in the framework of the logic of Newton's
Principia, why light should behave, as far as its trajectory is
concerned, differently from a material particle. Neither is there any
reason why light should not be sensible to gravitation. Briefly, why
don't we apply the whole Newtonian theory to light? In fact, that is
what many astronomers, opticians, philosophers of nature did by the
end of 18th century. The results are surprising....and new nowadays."

Idiot. Postulates are not the only true statements. Removing
its status as a postulate does not make it "false".

Plagiarism? Did this turkey even bother to look at the paper before
hurling accusations? Well I did. Joel Gannett is not a plagiarist.
As Gannett correctly points out, the idea that a relativity theory can
be constructed without postulating the constancy of the speed of light
is an OLD idea, dating from 1910, and is well-documented in the
literature. Ignatowsky was probably the first to publish this idea.
His 1910 paper pre-dates the three excerpts that PV lists by many
years.
