Default Einstein's Sinking Ship

Lee Smolin 2005: "Where are the Einsteinians? Special relativity was the result of 10 years of intellectual struggle, yet Einstein had convinced himself it was wrong within two years of publishing it." http://www.logosjournal.com/issue_4.3/smolin.htm

What happened in 1907? VoilĂ*:

John Norton: "Already in 1907, a mere two years after the completion of the special theory, he [Einstein] had concluded that the speed of light is variable in the presence of a gravitational field." http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers...UP_TimesNR.pdf

Does "variable in the presence of a gravitational field" entail "variable in gravitation-free space"? Of course - the equivalence principle implies just that.

The metastases of Einstein's false constant-speed-of-light postulate killed physics - physicists have known that since 2001:

"Lee [Smolin] and I discussed these paradoxes at great length for many months, starting in January 2001. We would meet in cafés in South Kensington or Holland Park to mull over the problem. THE ROOT OF ALL THE EVIL WAS CLEARLY SPECIAL RELATIVITY. All these paradoxes resulted from well known effects such as length contraction, time dilation, or E=mc^2, all basic predictions of special relativity. And all denied the possibility of establishing a well-defined border, common to all observers, capable of containing new quantum gravitational effects." Joao Magueijo, Faster Than the Speed of Light, p. 250 http://www.amazon.com/Faster-Than-Sp.../dp/0738205257

"...Dr. Magueijo said. "We need to drop a postulate, perhaps the constancy of the speed of light." http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/31/sc...-relative.html

Joao Magueijo, Niayesh Afshordi, Stephon Alexander: "So we have broken fundamentally this Lorentz invariance which equates space and time [...] It's the other postulate of relativity, that of constancy of c, that has to give way..." https://youtu.be/kbHBBtsrU1g?t=1431

The problem is that the truth, VARIABLE speed of light, will completely destroy today's fundamental physics. In that regard establishing the the truth is suicidal:

"The whole of physics is predicated on the constancy of the speed of light," Joao Magueijo, a cosmologist at Imperial College London and pioneer of the theory of variable light speed, told Motherboard. "So we [Joao Magueijo and Niayesh Afshordi] had to find ways to change the speed of light without wrecking the whole thing too much." https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/a...t-speed-slowed

So Einsteinians silently leave Einstein's sinking ship and promptly become experts in quantum mechanics, AI, biology, psychology, climate science etc. The ship seems empty now. Only Kip Thorne is still there - his money is too heavy:

Observer (receiver) starts moving towards the light source:

The frequency and the speed of the light pulses, as measured by the moving observer, VARY PROPORTIONALLY; the wavelength (or distance between the pulses) is INVARIABLE.

This observation, generalized over all possible scenarios, will become The Fundamental Law of future (Einstein-free) physics. Here is a deduction from The Fundamental Axioms:

Axiom 1: The wavelength of light is invariable.

Axiom 2: (frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

Conclusion (The Fundamental Law): Any frequency shift entails (is caused by) a proportional speed-of-light shift.
