Default Is the speed of light really constant ?

Pax:

Somewhere it seems to have come across that I'm under the delusion I have
some revolutionary knowledge concerning light. I'm not. I also think
Einstein was correct... I'm just not so sure others are correct in their
interpretation of him.

You've just demonstrated one reason I feel that way, the swelling army of
Numberheads that have followed Einstein. Einstein was a THEORETICAL
Physicist, who used imagination, observational insight, and visualization


Amazingly enough, experiments agree with him.

Let's add the rest of that part of my statement:
first and numbers last,...

If you're going to quote me, quote all of the thought... a partial quote,
cut "just so" is usually intended to discredit through the use of a
strawman.

Einstein always used math as the final PROOF, and I acknowledged that.

Be well - Pax

What ``strawman?'' Had I quoted what was relevant to any physics,
I wouldn't have bothered to quote anything.

Einstein always used math as the final PROOF, and I acknowledged that.


Pull your head out.
