FROM NEWTON TO EINSTEIN OR FROM EINSTEIN TO NEWTON?

There is a funny Einsteinian called Jean Eisenstaedt who is fiercely
developping the idea that the emission theory of light could be very
useful for Einstein's relativity:

From Newton to Einstein: A forgotten relativistic optics of moving
bodies
Since the time of Galileo, the relativity of motion has been a central
issue in physics. But how does it apply to light? At the end of the
18th century, a Newtonian theory of the propagation of light, a
natural extension of Newton's Principia, was developed but quickly
forgotten. A series of works completed the Principia with the
formulation of a Galilean relativistic optics of moving bodies and the
discovery of the analog of the Doppler-Fizeau effect some 60 years
before Doppler, as well as many other effects and ideas that are a
fascinating preamble to Einstein's special and general relativity.

"Il n'y a alors aucune raison theorique a ce que la vitesse de la
lumiere ne depende pas de la vitesse de sa source ainsi que de celle
de l'observateur terrestre ; plus clairement encore, il n'y a pas de
raison, dans le cadre de la logique des Principia de Newton, pour que
la lumiere se comporte autrement - quant a sa trajectoire - qu'une
particule materielle. Il n'y a pas non plus de raison pour que la
lumiere ne soit pas sensible a la gravitation. Bref, pourquoi ne pas
appliquer a la lumiere toute la theorie newtonienne ? C'est en fait ce
que font plusieurs astronomes, opticiens, philosophes de la nature a
la fin du XVIIIeme siecle. Les resultats sont etonnants... et
aujourd'hui nouveaux."

Translation from French: "Therefore there is no theoretical reason why
the speed of light should not depend on the speed of the source and
the speed of the terrestrial observer as well; even more clearly,
there is no reason, in the framework of the logic of Newton's
Principia, why light should behave, as far as its trajectory is
concerned, differently from a material particle. Neither is there any
reason why light should not be sensible to gravitation. Briefly, why
don't we apply the whole Newtonian theory to light? In fact, that is
what many astronomers, opticians, philosophers of nature did by the
end of 18th century. The results are surprising....and new nowadays."

Einstein criminal cult should act immediately and this Jean
Eisenstaedt should be severely punished. Otherwise the glorious
transition from Newton to Einstein will have to be reversed and there
will be so much tragedy in Einstein zombie world....
