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": http://o.castera.free.fr/pdf/chronogeometrie.pdf 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." http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.ph...4dc146100e32c? 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.: http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=591 : "The story is based on this Scientific American blog posting http://blog.sciam.com/index.php?titl...tivity _theor Lee Smolin Says: August 26th, 2007 at 1:39 pm 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").
