This is of course a direct consequence of the fact that light is ballistic. It
has nothing whatsoever to do with Einstein's silly theory.

It's a simple game, really. Promote all the experimental results that
are consistent with ballistic theory, and dismiss all the ones that
are not.

It's called scientific fraud, of course.

Yes, this is....

readings"....Einstein, 1905...

You put quotation marks around that. Who said it, and in what
published reference?

You seem to have a problem with procedures like calibration.

Look them up .. not that you will .. there's many many experiments.
Ballistic theory is long dead.
