The frequency shift factor, 1+phi/c^2, that Einstein obtains in Appendix 3
in his "Relativity" and that later is confirmed experimentally, is:
A) Compatible with the principle of constancy of the speed of light (the c
principle) and incompatible with the principle of dependency of the speed
of light on the speed of source or observer (the c+v principle)?
B) Compatible with the c+v principle and incompatible with the c principle?
An argument favouring (B) can be seen in http://www.wbabin.net/valev/valev3.htm . If this argument is correct, we
have an experimental falsification of the theory of relativity (a la
Popper).
