The problem with Lorentz Newton and Einstein was twofold. Firstly they
assumed light is a particle. Incorrect. There has NEVER been any evidence=
=20
to date that light is particulate. Only overwhelming evidence it is a wave =
only.
And the second mistake they make was to not look at light speed in the=20
source frame. And MMX shows us it always travels at c in the source frame.

So. We know from Huygens, Young & MMX that light is a wave=20
and always travels at c in the source frame. And we also know this is true =
from=20
the =E2=80=9CDeSitter=E2=80=9D double star example that an observer on eart=
h who is moving relative=20
to the source sees that the speed of light changes relative to the observer=
..=20
But not the source. This is confirmed by the fact that light is redshifted
and then blue shifted as seen from observers here on earth.=20
(Without any evidence De Sitter ignores Huygens Young and MMX and=20
incorrectly assumes light is a particle and changes speed relativeTO THE SO=
URCE)=20

And finally although Pentcho  correctly states that Aether theory,  Lorentz=
 and
Einsteins conclusions are nonsense and not based on any empirical evidence
whatsoever.....Pentcho incorrectly, and without any evidence, claims light =
is=20
particulate.
