THE MOST DRAMATIC DILEMMA EVER IN SCIENCE

Scientists watch this video:

and see:


(A) that the speed of the wavecrests relative to the observer decreases as the observer starts moving away from the light source. Suddenly a whole branch of science collapses - to quote Einstein, "nothing will remain of my whole castle in the air, including the theory of gravitation, but also nothing of the rest of contemporary physics".

(B) that only the frequency as measured by the observer decreases while the speed of the wavecrests relative to the observer, by a miracle, remains the same. Initially scientists fiercely sing "Divine Einstein" and "Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity" but then the ecstasy gets uncontrollable: scientists tumble to the floor, start tearing their clothes and go into convulsions.
