Default Constant Wavelength (Not Speed) of Light

The formula

(frequency) = (speed of light) / (wavelength)

entails the following statements:

Statement 1: The speed of light is constant as per Einstein IF AND ONLY IF the wavelength of light is variable.

Statement 2: The speed of light is variable as per Newton IF AND ONLY IF the wavelength of light is constant for a given emitter.

Both the antecedent and the consequent in Statement 2 are true. The consequent,

"the wavelength of light is constant for a given emitter",

will become the fundamental axiom of future, Einstein-free physics.

The (false) fundamental axiom of present, Einstein's physics is

"the speed of light is constant",

the antecedent in Statement 1:

"He opened by explaining how Einstein's theory of relativity is the foundation of every other theory in modern physics and that the assumption that the speed of light is constant is the foundation of that theory. Thus a constant speed of light is embedded in all of modern physics and to propose a varying speed of light (VSL) is worse than swearing! It is like proposing a language without vowels." http://www.thegreatdebate.org.uk/VSLRevPrnt.html

Default Constant Wavelength (Not Speed) of Light

Doppler effect - the observer starts moving toward the light source:

The frequency measured by the stationary observer is f. Accordingly, the speed of the light pulses relative to him is c=df, where d is the distance between the pulses.

The frequency measured by the moving observer is f'f. Accordingly, the speed of the light pulses relative to him is c'=df'c.

Obviously variable (Newtonian) speed of light.

Note that the wavelength (distance between pulses) is constant. Here this is obvious; in other scenarios the constancy of the wavelength of light is not so obvious but remains true.

If there is a next, Einstein-free version of fundamental physics, Einstein's 1905 nonsensical axiom

"The speed of light is constant"

will be replaced with the correct axiom

"The wavelength of light is constant (for a given emitter)".

I have developed the idea in a series of tweets he https://twitter.com/pentcho_valev
