Light is emitted from source at c.
It's velocity thereafter is affected by
1) direction of travel of photons ref observer AND source
2) gravity
3) inter-action of photons with intervening matter (eg other photons)

Where are the experiments, other than arbitrarily preconceived
"observations" from pulsars, for ACTUAL light velocity from stationary
and moving bodies.
Be careful that you are not one who takes it for granted, that they
have been done! c+v and c-v photons DO exist; they are seen as blue and
red shifted.
You will see all sorts of excuses by DHR's not to conduct the defining
experiment, which is a good ol' fashioned race between emr emitted from
the same distance (roughly) by a stationary and moving source ref the
receiver.
The reason being, that they fear the result!

which is only of secondary interest. Arrival times could be logged on a
sheet of moving photo paper, with nary a clock to be seen--------just
like me adjudicating a footrace without a stopwatch.)

They don't, and if going too slow, are undetectable/invisable
(of course, some may be acellerated by gravity, or vice-versa)

Mine to, almost. I just sutract 1 (A E Relativity) from infinity.

<< Light is emitted from source at c. >>

Are you sure of this?

What if light is "dragged" out of the source
by all the charges in the universe ?
Would that alter the way you visualize light's propagation?

Depends on the transmitter's power.

I answered the question with respect to the topic under discussion.

I see no reason for a single photon to be longer than one cycle.

The aberation of starlight from binary stars.

There would be a different in stellar position due to aberation. The c+v
photon would arrive from a different location in the sky than the c-v
photons. c+v photons would come from a location 'closer to the actual
location' than c-v photons. The c-v photons are 'older' because it took
them longer to get here, so they show up as arriving from where the star
used to be.

I suggested use of a high speed rotating disk with fibre optics conducting
light to the edge of the disk and launching the light down a time-of-flight
apparatus. With a very good and expensive scope, it should be possible to
detect a difference as the speed of the disk and the direction of rotation
of the disk is varied....if c'=c+/-v is valid.

Why fear what can bring a nobel prize? Scientist are constantly testing
Einstein [and other] accepted theories in hopes of finding flaws.

Google for "streak camera". They exist.

Then you must not be a believer in Henri and Androcles explanation for
Cepheid variables because their light curves depend on the c+v and c-v
photons experiencing "extinction".

Extinction, in this case, being their tending to reach c after 5 or so
extinction lengths. The extinction length being on the order of a light
year or so.

Absent extinction, the fast photons from one orbit soon overtake the slow
photons from a previous orbit. Once this happens, computer simulations show
strange looking light intensity curves.

Even neglecting the evidence or lack of evidence from stellar aberation,
the lack of a mechanism for rapidly bringing all photons [c+v and c-v] to c
would invalidate c'=c+/-v.

That gives us an unlimited opportunity to learn. I enjoy learning. :)

I take on board, and consider it likely, that field propagation is
instantaneous (infinitely fast). On the other hand, given the inverse
square (for attraction in this case) for distance/force, two isolated
atoms colliding at high speed far from significant gravity inspiring
material, are unlikely to be significantly influenced by your
proposition.
I suspect photons will be emitted from the crash site at c (in whatever
direction, which may need further thought), and the debris left at the
scene will have reduced mass (be different elements, or changed
energies/hotter)

Push is only a pull in the opposite direction.
