The Invalidation of a Sacred Principle of Modern Physics
Stephan J.G. Gift
"The principle underpinning modern physics, which states that the
speed of light is
constant and independent of the motion of the source and the observer,
is shown
to be invalid. (...) For a stationary observer O, the stationary light
source S emits light at speed c, wavelength Lo, and frequency Fo given
by Fo=c/Lo. If the observer moves toward S at speed v, then again
based on classical analysis, the speed of light relative to the moving
observer is (c + v) and not c as required by Einstein's law of light
propagation. Hence the observer intercepts wave-fronts of light at a
frequency fA, which is higher than Fo, as is observed, and is given by
fA = (c+v)/Lo Fo. (...) In light of this elementary result
invalidating STR, it is difficult to understand why this invalid
theory has been (and continues to be) accepted for the past 100 years.
It is time to reject STR with its incorrect light speed invariance
principle long pointed out by Ives, and return to the Lorentz-Maxwell
ether-based theory elucidated by Ives and summarized by Erlichson."

"Moving observer: A man is standing on the beach, watching the tide.
The waves are washing into the shore and over his feet with a constant
frequency and wavelength. However, if he begins walking out into the
ocean, the waves will begin hitting him more frequently, leading him
to perceive that the wavelength of the waves has decreased."

John Norton: "Here's a light wave and an observer. If the observer
were to hurry towards the source of the light, the observer would now
pass wavecrests more frequently than the resting observer. That would
mean that moving observer would find the frequency of the light to
have increased (AND CORRESPONDINGLY FOR THE WAVELENGTH - THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN CRESTS - TO HAVE DECREASED)."
