Default VIOLATION OF THE LIGHT POSTULATE IN EINSTEIN ZOMBIE WORLD

In Einstein zombie world a violation of Einstein's light postulate

http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ "...light is
always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is
independent of the state of motion of the emitting body."

can only have two effects. Conservative hypnotists in Einstein
criminal cult teach that, with or without violation, special
relativity "would be unaffected":

Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond: "D'autre part, nous savons aujourd'hui que
l'invariance de la vitesse de la lumiere est une consequence de la
nullite de la masse du photon. Mais, empiriquement, cette masse, aussi
faible soit son actuelle borne superieure experimentale, ne peut et ne
pourra jamais etre consideree avec certitude comme rigoureusement
nulle. Il se pourrait meme que de futures mesures mettent en evidence
une masse infime, mais non-nulle, du photon ; la lumiere alors n'irait
plus a la "vitesse de la lumiere", ou, plus precisement, la vitesse de
la lumiere, desormais variable, ne s'identifierait plus a la vitesse
limite invariante. Les procedures operationnelles mises en jeu par le
"second postulat" deviendraient caduques ipso facto. La theorie elle-
meme en serait-elle invalidee ? Heureusement, il n'en est rien ; mais,
pour s'en assurer, il convient de la refonder sur des bases plus
solides, et d'ailleurs plus economiques. En verite, le "premier
postulat" suffit, a la condition de l'exploiter a fond."

Tom Roberts: "If it is ultimately discovered that the photon has a
nonzero mass (i.e. light in vacuum does not travel at the invariant
speed of the Lorentz transform), SR would be unaffected but both
Maxwell's equations and QED would be refuted (or rather, their domains
of applicability would be reduced)."

http://www.worldscibooks.com/physics/4114.html
Jong-Ping Hsu: "....unexpected affirmative answer to the long-standing
question of whether it is possible to construct a relativity theory
without postulating the constancy of the speed of light and retaining
only the first postulate of special relativity. This question was
discussed in the early years following the discovery of special
relativity by many physicists, including Ritz, Tolman, Kunz, Comstock
and Pauli, all of whom obtained negative answers."

However there are revolutionaries in Einstein criminal cult who use
violations of Einstein's light postulate for development of the theory
- special relativity becomes doubly special relativity, if that is not
enough, doubly special relativity may become triply special relativity
etc.:

Brett is right that polarization odd variations in the speed of light
are already ruled out at planck scale by observations of polarized
radio galaxies, but polarization even variations in the speed of light
are not because they cause no bifringence. The latter are, however, a
possible consequence of a deformation rather than breaking of Poincare
invariance. If an experiment has data on photon arrival time variation
with energy it must, because of the limits on parity odd variation, be
parity even, and hence, if there is no other explanation, it could be
a detection of a deformation of poincare invariance (so called "doubly
special relativity"). Thanks, Lee"
