[Phys-L] Degenerate scientific revolution



At present everybody knows or at least hears that the principle of constancy
of speed of light is false and relativity is doomed. This means that a
scientific revolution is coming. Sounds good and yet there is a problem.

The "logic" of inconsistencies such as thermodynamics and relativity has
been so devastating that even critics have lost their rationality and
incurably elaborate on the classical absurdity. Consider the actual height
of fashion:

Murphy thinks he has found a violation of "constancy" but obviously does not
know that, in relativity, "constancy of the speed of light" means
"independence of the speed of the source or observer" (the speed of light is
relativistic in the c sense). To challenge the principle of constancy of
speed of light means to suggest that the speed of light does depend on the
speed of source or observer (the speed of light is relativistic in the c+v
sense).

If it is not a red herring, Murphy's criticism is symptomatic of an almost
complete destruction of rationality and the beginning of a degenerate
scientific revolution.
