In 1887 the Michelson-Morley experiment was unequivocally consistent
with the thesis "The speed of light varies with the speed of the light
source v in accordance with the equation c'=c+v given by Newton's
emission theory of light" and inconsistent with the antithesis "The
speed of light is independent of the speed of the light
source" (Einstein's 1905 false light postulate). Then FitzGerald,
Lorentz and Einstein procrusteanized the reality (introduced length
contraction, time dilation etc.) so as to make the Michelson-Morley
experiment inconsistent with the thesis and consistent with the
antithesis.

In 1907 Einstein realized that the speed of light varied with the
gravitational potential V. This meant that three equivalent equations:
c'=c(1+V/c^2), c'=c+v and f'=f(1+V/c^2), where f is the frequency of
light, were either simultaneously valid or simultaneously wrong. In
1960 Pound and Rebka experimentally confirmed the validity of the
third equation but Einstein had known all along that all three
equations were valid and had even explicitly etablished c'=c(1+V/c^2)
in 1911. The history of relativity after 1911 can be characterized in
this way:

"Development of multilayered camouflage of the validity of the thesis
c'=c+v given by Newton's emission theory of light"

In the end, the antithesis became "the linchpin that holds the whole
range of modern physics theories together":

Bryan Wallace: "Einstein's special relativity theory with his second
postulate that the speed of light in space is constant is the linchpin
that holds the whole range of modern physics theories together.
Shatter this postulate, and modern physics becomes an elaborate
farce!....The speed of light is c+v."

Albert Einstein: "If the speed of light is the least bit affected by
the speed of the light source, then my whole theory of relativity and
theory of gravity is false."
