In my theory of light, different frequencies of light travel at different speeds. But the difference relative to c is so small that our instruments can't measure it. Think of a space ship that has accelerated to a speed that is so close to c that we can't measure the difference. If the spaceship applies thrust, we cannot measure any change in speed, but the frequency associated with the spaceship might change perceptibly. Every particle or body in motion has a frequency associated with it. But it's only with tiny particles like photons that we notice it. Double-A
