Well, it's not impossible. It's even more than possible, it is true. This is something that has been extensively measured, and many refinements to the Michelson and Morley experiment, and complementary experiments have confirmed this invariance to very great precision. As to understanding it, there isn't really much to understand. Howev > Mr. Valev. You often emphasize the fact that wavelengths don't change. I agree. However, with the definition of the meter it appears that they do.
