A clown who creates his own crackpot theory is no scientist.
Q. Why did Einstein say
the speed of light from A to B is c-v,
the speed of light from B to A is c+v?
A. Because it is true.
Q. Why did Einstein say
the speed of light from A to B is c-v,
the speed of light from B to A is c+v,
the time for each journey is the same?
A. Because he was a crackpot, unskilled and unaware of it.
Androcles: If a person isn't clowning, and isn't a crackpot, would
you look down on the theories of such a person? — NoEinstein —
