let say the following:
There is a light source Xo.
Three observers A, B and D are rushing toward Xo at different speeds.
Stand physics says that each of the observers will measure the speed of light from Xo to be c.
I disagree.
Einstein forced each of them to measure the speed of light from  Xo to be "c" by inventing time dilation and length contraction..I  disagree, There is no absolute time dilation and no physical length contraction,

The correct way to measure the speed of incoming light from Xo is as follows:
1. Measure the wavelength from Xo.and that to  be :Lx
2. Ask Xo for the frequency of light and that to be fx.
3. Calculate the incoming speed of light  = Lx*fx

He did neither of those things. He asked what the consequences would be 
if it were the case that the speed of light were the same for all 
observers, as the experimental evidence indicated.

No, it didn't, and considering the definitions of his time
it was a complete absurd.

Of course the speed of light (and everything else) has relative (additive) velocity. Therefore it is both observer dependent and source dependent. Einstein did not ask that, he asserted that. It has never been shown by experiment. The Doppler shift of light is caused by this relative velocity and proves it's speed depends on the motion of the source and observer.

"Of course" is a phrase that shouldn't be used in physics.

No, Einstein saw that all experiments showed the speed of light was c, 
regardless of the motion of the source or observer. He did not create 
the idea of constant speed of light. It was already known. Nobody knew 
why it was so, just that it was so.

Einstein figured a constant speed of light was the result of some 
unknown law of physics. He made it a postulate for his SR paper.

> It has never been shown by experiment.

Wrong. A constant speed of light was already known by experiments before 
Einstein's time. That's why he worked on SR in the first place. He 
wanted to see what the consequences of a constant speed of light were.

> The Doppler shift of light is caused by this relative velocity and proves it's speed depends on the motion of the source and observer.

The relativistic Doppler effect, of course.

You can have your etiquette just don't impose it on others. No, Einstein did not "see" that because no experiments showed that. The source of his and your difficulty is the failure to distinguish between a lack of an ether wind and constancy of the speed of light. The MMX does not show what you are claiming. The Doppler shift proves you are wrong. The relativistic Doppler is a mathematical lie.

You are confused. He is stating facts. Prior to special relativity, all experiments were showing that the speed of light is independent of the source and observer.

So now you are resorting to lies to try to defend yourself. Are you a reality denier?

> The relativistic Doppler is a mathematical lie.

How would you know when you can't even do basic math?
You can't even solve high school math problems, so you are in no position to discuss math or physics.
This news group is not for you.

How do you know a frames motion in space?
If it cannot be marked how do we get to frames
not being at absolute rest? What is the motion
in space of light and atoms?
At a motion black hole atoms compete
with light motion... does that not make
them equally absolute?

Your delusions are irrelevant. It was known before Einstein came along 
that the speed of light was always measured as c, regardless of motion 
of the source or observer. As I said, Einstein didn't come up with the 
idea of a constant speed of light, because all experiments showed the 
speed of light was always c.

Cranks always want to "blame" Einstein for coming up with the constant 
speed of light, but it simply isn't true. The constant speed of light 
was already a known experimental result.

> The source of his and your difficulty is the failure to distinguish between a lack of an ether wind and constancy of the speed of light.

Not relevant. The constant speed of light was and is an experimental 
result. Experimental results of a constant speed of light obviously 
disprove claims that the speed of light is not constant.

> The MMX does not show what you are claiming.

The MMX is consistent with several theories, including ballistic light 
and a constant speed of light. It neither confirms nor disproves a 
constant speed of light. It merely disproved the most common aether 
theory of the time.

> The Doppler shift proves you are wrong. The relativistic Doppler is a mathematical lie.

How could it be a "mathematical lie" if it is consistent with all 
observations which produce a Doppler shift?

yes sure, but absolutely. Anyone who went to secondary school is aware of

Ukrainian forces have suffered losses in heavy equipment and soldiers as 
they met greater than expected resistance from Russian forces in their

One US official described the losses – which include US supplied MRAP

How can it be that the speed of light in vacuum has always a specific value "c" relative to the inertial reference frame in which it is measured and does not depend on the speed of the source relative to such frame?
Special Relativity tries to explain it making ad hoc unphysical hypothesis (about time dilation and space contraction) that lead to paradoxes and contradictions.

An alternate explanation (within Galilean Relativity) can be summarized as follows:
A standard source of radiation emits a plurality of wave-like disturbances characterized by their different speeds relative to the emitter. The electrons (of the standard detectors of radiation) have a high probability (a sharp resonance in their interaction cross section) to respond to the "light type disturbances" of speed c speed relative to them. 
The speed of light is therefore c relative to the observer.  (It must be understood that the "observer" is the elementary matter (electrons) detecting the radiation).

Because when you plug in "c" for the SR speed combination formula for 
one of the speeds, the resulting speed is also c.

w = (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2), replace "u" with "c", v is velocity of source and 
you get w=c.

No, the formula above, which Einstein derived, explains it.

this makes no sense, since for c=1, *_a_c^2_is_still_1_*, whereas for a 
*_c=3e5_km/s_a_c^2_is_something_else_*. You are crossing 
*_the_Russian_red_lines_* you may not trespass.

Clearly, you've never read Einstein's paper, whether in the original 
German, or in translation, because it contains no such hypothesis about 
either time dilation, or space contraction.

Getting your understanding of special relativity from popular science 
descriptions is never going to be a good idea.

Sylvia.

SR models this as due to the different orientations of the measuring 
instruments that are at rest in different inertial frames.

Not true. You need to learn about the ACTUAL theory, and not some 
guesswork like this.

That's no explanation, that;s just word salad.
