Einstein's Most Obvious Nonsense

Einstein's most obvious nonsense is undoubtedly his conclusion that the speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer, a direct consequence of his 1905 postulates. The observer starts moving towards the light source, the wavecrests start hitting him more frequently (the frequency he measures increases), and yet the speed of the wavecrests relative to the observer idiotically remains the same:

John Stachel: "But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair." http://www.aip.org/history/exhibits/...relativity.htm

Updated 2014 by Don Koks. Original by Steve Carlip (1997) and Philip Gibbs 1996: "To state that the speed of light is independent of the velocity of the observer is very counterintuitive. Some people even refuse to accept this as a logically consistent possibility, but in 1905 Einstein was able to show that it is perfectly consistent if you are prepared to give up assumptions about the absolute nature of space and time." http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic..._of_light.html

So Einstein "wrestled with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair", but in the end found it suitable to introduce the nonsense. However the nonsense naturally proved inconsistent with reality, and Einstein partially restored consistency by converting space and time, too, into nonsense:

Peter Galison: "Only by criticizing the foundational notions of time and space could one bring the pieces of the theory - that the laws of physics were the same in all constantly moving frames; that light traveled at the same speed regardless of its source - into harmony."

"Special relativity is based on the observation that the speed of light is always the same, independently of who measures it, or how fast the source of the light is moving with respect to the observer. Einstein demonstrated that as an immediate consequence, space and time can no longer be independent, but should rather be considered a new joint entity called "spacetime." http://community.bowdoin.edu/news/20...rs-of-gravity/

The most obvious nonsense (speed of light independent of motion of observer) is the first heavy blow on physics students's rationality:

Joe Wolfe: "At this stage, many of my students say things like "The invariance of the speed of light among observers is impossible" or "I can't understand it". Well, it's not impossible. It's even more than possible, it is true. This is something that has been extensively measured, and many refinements to the Michelson and Morley experiment, and complementary experiments have confirmed this invariance to very great precision. As to understanding it, there isn't really much to understand. However surprising and weird it may be, it is the case. It's the law in our universe. The fact of the invariance of c doesn't take much understanding."

Joe Wolfe and other brainwashers will continue to teach nonsense, loudly and repeatedly - in the end students will become indistinguishable from Bingo the Clowno:
