Variable Speed of Light and Einstein's Relativity
Stationary light source and moving receiver:
http://www.einstein-online.info/imag...ector_blue.gif The frequency measured by the source is f. The frequency measured by the moving receiver is f'f. The speed of the pulses relative to the source is c=df, where d is the distance between the pulses. The speed of the pulses relative to the moving receiver is c'=df'c, in violation of Einstein's relativity. Then why has relativity been worshiped for more than a century? Because it is an ideology, not a science: "This paper investigates an alternative possibility: that the critics were right and that the success of Einstein's theory in overcoming them was due to its strengths as an ideology rather than as a science. The clock paradox illustrates how relativity theory does indeed contain inconsistencies that make it scientifically problematic. These same inconsistencies, however, make the theory ideologically powerful. [...] The gatekeepers of professional physics in the universities and research institutes are disinclined to support or employ anyone who raises problems over the elementary inconsistencies of relativity. A winnowing out process has made it very difficult for critics of Einstein to achieve or maintain professional status. Relativists are then able to use the argument of authority to discredit these critics. Were relativists to admit that Einstein may have made a series of elementary logical errors, they would be faced with the embarrassing question of why this had not been noticed earlier. Under these circumstances the marginalisation of antirelativists, unjustified on scientific grounds, is eminently justifiable on grounds of realpolitik. Supporters of relativity theory have protected both the theory and their own reputations by shutting their opponents out of professional discourse. [...] The triumph of relativity theory represents the triumph of ideology not only in the profession of physics bur also in the philosophy of science."
