WHAT IF FASTER-THAN-LIGHT TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE
Einsteiniana's fundamental absurdities - time dilation and length
contraction - are deducible from the single assumption that the speed of light is independent of the speed of the light source. See pp. 12-16 in Chapter 11 in: http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/book.html Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions David Morin, Cambridge University Press So the hysteria around any faster-than-light travel established in experiment or theory would be a red herring (that is, Einsteiniana would continue to destroy human rationality) unless the assumption of independence is refuted. Fortunately the Michelson-Morley and Pound- Rebka experiments have UNEQUIVOCALLY shown that the variation of the speed of photons is identical to the variation of the speed of any material bodies, e.g. cannonballs.
