Neil deGrasse Tyson Teaches Einstein's Absurdities

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "One of the towering great achievements of the human mind in our understanding of the universe is Einstein's theories of relativity. [...] It makes only two assumptions: that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant no matter who is doing the measurement and no matter in what direction you are moving or how fast. You always get the same measurement for the speed of light. That's Assumption 1 which by the way the experiment has shown to be true. [...] Given those two tenets, extraordinary spooky phenomena derive from them. For example: As you travel faster [...] time ticks more slowly for you than it does for other people..." https://www.youtube..com/watch?v=n2s1-RHuljo

Two lies he

Lie 1: "You always get the same measurement for the speed of light. That's Assumption 1 which by the way the experiment has shown to be true."

Any relevant experiment (e.g. Michelson-Morley, Pound-Rebka, Doppler), if correctly interpreted, proves VARIABLE speed of light as per Newton's theory..

Lie 2: "As you travel faster [...] time ticks more slowly for you than it does for other people..."

This is a very special lie originally invented by Einstein himself (in 1905). Actually special relativity says the opposite. The conclusion that VALIDLY follows from Einstein's 1905 postulates is:

As you travel faster time ticks FASTER for you than it does for other people.

Very few Einsteinians teach the valid deduction:

David Morin, Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions, Chapter 11, p. 14: "Twin A stays on the earth, while twin B flies quickly to a distant star and back. [...] For the entire outward and return parts of the trip, B does observe A's clock running slow..." http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/chap11.pdf

"The situation is that a man sets off in a rocket travelling at high speed away from Earth, whilst his twin brother stays on Earth. [...] ...the twin in the spaceship considers himself to be the stationary twin, and therefore as he looks back towards Earth he sees his brother ageing more slowly than himself." http://topquark.hubpages.com/hub/Twin-Paradox
