The Lorentz transformation is Pointless.

There is absolutely no need for the LT or gamma to calculate the speed of light.

There exist two possibilities for the speed of light.
Neither requires the LT or gamma.

1. An ether exists in space/vacuum.

Then light behaves like sound, immediately forming compression waves in the ether. 
Light speed is c plus or minus the speed of the observer/destination.

Then, the relative motion of the source can be known from the Doppler shift plus/minus the relative motion of the destination.


2. No ether exists.

Then light behaves as a particle in space/vacuum, sharing the motion of the source, as in Galileo's ship. Entering interstellar gas particles, it forms compression waves, saving information on relative motion.

CONCLUSION: THERE IS NO USE FOR THE LT OR GAMMA AT HIGH SPEEDS.
