Default How Insane Einsteinians Can Be

Chris Impey, Distinguished Professor and Deputy Head, Astronomy: (8:23) "Imagine you are in an elevator and you have a flashlight. If the elevator is not moving, you can shine the flashlight across the elevator and it will hit the opposite wall at the same level as you aim it. Imagine that the elevator is moving AT A CONSTANT SPEED. You can see that the light is traveling across the elevator and so will hit a place on the opposite wall slightly below the level where you aimed it. That's simple vector addition of the speed of light with the speed of the elevator." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asy9Dta27dQ

Einsteinians refer to scientists they persecute and marginalize as "crackpots", "cranks", etc., but even the silliest "crackpot" would not produce the above idiocy.
