You failed to appreciate that the word 'shift' can be both a noun and a verb.

The fringe shift (noun) is proportional to speed but the fringe shift (verb)
OCCURS ONLY DURING ACCELERATION.

Maybe the purists would suggest that I should have phrased it as "the shifting
of fringes".........

However I don't think you have the intelligence to understand the finer points
of this anyway.

Forget it, H. The phuckwit writes to me and I'm not answering the
idiot, he's already on my kill-file as a worthless turd.
This Grandpa isn't getting in any kiddy carousel.
You may have explained why it doesn't refute your bath water,
I've explained why it DOES refute Einstein's phuckwittery, whatever
the dish that ran away with the spoonfed says.

BTW, I've now duplicated a certain curve we had a bet on.

Nonsense. You've never seen a wavelength of light, doppler shifted
or otherwise.

Why are you asking the tusselad?
He doesn't know what a wavelength is, let alone any physics.

Sagnac blatantly obviously disproves SR.
You snipping the explanation blatantly obviously proves you are a useless
phuckwitted tusselad.
