Mistake: I wrote "speed of light" instead of "wavelength". Here is the corrected text: The formula: (frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength) has always been a nightmare in Einsteiniana. This formula makes the obvious fact "Both the frequency and the speed of light vary with the speed of the observer", a fact consistent with both Maxwell's theory and Newton's emission theory of light (but not with Divine Albert's Divine Special Relativity), too obvious. That is, even in Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world, where any idiocy is welcome, the formula might prove dangerous for Einstein's 1905 false light postulate. So Einsteinians fiercely teach that it is the wavelength that varies with the speed of the observer: http://sampit.geol.sc.edu/Doppler.html "Moving observer: A man is standing on the beach, watching the tide. The waves are washing into the shore and over his feet with a constant frequency and wavelength. However, if he begins walking out into the ocean, the waves will begin hitting him more frequently, leading him to perceive that the wavelength of the waves has decreased." http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teaching/HPS_0410/chapters/big_bang/index.html John Norton: "Here's a light wave and an observer. If the observer were to hurry towards the source of the light, the observer would now pass wavecrests more frequently than the resting observer. That would mean that moving observer would find the frequency of the light to have increased (AND CORRESPONDINGLY FOR THE WAVELENGTH - THE DISTANCE BETWEEN CRESTS - TO HAVE DECREASED)." Similarly, when confronted with Hubble redshift, Einsteinians fiercely teach that the allegedly EXPANDING universe somehow "stretches" the wavelength and so the constancy of the speed of light is saved. However one is entitled to assume that this "stretching" is just as silly as the variation of the wavelength with the speed of the observer and advance the following argument: PREMISE 1: The frequency of light coming from distant sources decreases proportionally to the distance (Hubble redshift). PREMISE 2: "Stretching" of the wavelength does not occur. CONCLUSION: In our STATIC universe, the speed of light coming from distant sources decreases proportionally to the distance.

PREMISE 2: (frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength) CONCLUSION: The speed of light varies with the speed of the observer, that is, Einstein's 1905 light postulate is false.
