After all, it is arguably the most important quantity not just for 
supporting Einstein but also for the whole of modern Physics...and 
apparently, it  doesn't even exist.

Well, there are a lot of "Einstein fans" who know nothing about Einstein
physics.

They just like to put a poster of Einstien on their wall..makes them
look smarter.

Or an Einstein t-shirt. Those are fans.

You must mean "Einsteinian Fans"...meaning related to einstein physics,
not t-shirts fans.

An Einsteinian fan would blow hot air that smelt like bullshit.

Because light is more complicated than you think, and probably are able
to understand.  If you had watched the videos in the playlist that I
referred you to, you would have already known.

And BTW, that has nothing to do with being an "Einstein fan".

"videos"??? which Star Trek episode are you referring to?  750
terahertz?

Go tell those people at NIST, or BIPM,
or any other metrology institute.
They have defined all of physics measurement
in terms of measuring frequencies.

See how far you will get with them,

I'll just send them my book free of charge, signed by the author. It 
explains that light does not possess a 'frequency'.  I suppose you think a 
radio signal oscillates as it travels. If you think it does please define 
it for me. You seen to know everything about modern physics so surely you 
have an answer.
