> There is a guy, Pencho Valev, who for at least 10 years now has posted on the Relativity forums that special relativity is false.  Ie, that the velocity of light will not be measured to be the same regardless of the relative velocity of source and observer. He must have wasted thousands of hours on this.  Had he gone around picking up trash he would've at least done some good.

I think, that SRT is wrong, because SRT uses a Newtonian space as 
foundation.

The time of SRT is kind of similar to that of Newton, too, and utilises 
a constant universal flow of time.

This contradicts the very idea of SRT, after which time and space are 
'relative'.

To make at least a few useful statement, SRT introduces 'length 
contraction' and 'time dilation'.

Since the term 'space' is meant as absolute (in a Newtonian fashion) the 
objects had to shrink.

To make matters worse, SRT allows 'paradoxes', which in other 
circumstances are hints, that some conclusions are wrong.

There is also the formula E=m*c², which somehow belongs to SRT.

But I would say, that if you want to describe radioactive decay, you 
would ascribe the term 'E' to the emitted ray and the term 'm' to the 
emitting sample.

So a formula of this kind would be correct:

E = - delta(m) * c²

To assume, that the speed of light in vacuum is variable, that would not 
make sense, because you cannot measure  the speed of light in vacuum, 
without referring to the speed of light in vacuum, since the definition 
of the meter is based on the speed of light in vacuum.
