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?
****ing liar.
Not in this instance. Einstein DID say that tAB = tBA according to his clock
synching definition. Too bad if it wasn't true. He simply changed one of his
clocks to make it so. In this way he made any 'aether' completely redundant.
I suggest you read his 1905 paper if you don't believe this. You clearly know
nothing about the theory you are supporting.
Of course in reality, if A and B are mutually at rest, tAB DOES equal tBA for
the simple reason that light is ballistic and moves at c wrt its source.
Einstein probably knew this but found there was more fame and money to be made
by persevering with his 'alternative aether theory', commonly known as SR.

Dear Henri: *If the "subject" being discussed, relative to A and B...
is light, then light velocity will increase if the source is moving in
the direction the light is shining. *And light velocity will decrease
if shining in the direction opposite the motion of the source. *
Veleocities are relative. don't you know that?
Light moves at c wrt its source.
The
“reference point” is the position in space of the emitting source at
the time of the emission of a particular photon. *
Space has no reference points.
Each new photon in the train is its own mathematical example.
there may be some sense in that.
A photon is an individual 'package' of energy. It MUST possess structure and
intrinsic properties.
* * The "time" issue is simple: Light in any apparatus on Earth will
take the same TIME to travel to any normal surface with a fixed
relationship to the source. *So, to calculate the TIME of travel to
such a fixed surface, Earth's velocity cancels out. *The latter
doesn't 'rule out’ a change in the velocity of light; it necessitates
it! *— NoEinstein —
Earth doesn't have 'a velocity'. *Velocities are relative.

Dear Henri: *Your "degrees" have gone to your head! *Those don't prove
that a person can think. *They only prove that the person passed the
stupid courses of those who couldn't think, either! *— NoEinstein —
Except in this case, you are commenting on a complete fabrication by
Ralph "Henri" Rabbidge. His "degrees" are complete and unblinking
deceptions, just like your undocumented experiments about kinetic
energy. It would be entirely fitting if you two would preen and
flutter in front of each other.
