The blatant lies of Postscientism (Joseph Goebbels: "If you tell a lie
big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to
believe it"):

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/496904/relativity/252878/Special-relativity
Encyclopædia Britannica: "The fact that the speed of light is the same
for all observers is inexplicable in ordinary terms. If a passenger in
a train moving at 100 km per hour shoots an arrow in the train’s
direction of motion at 200 km per hour, a trackside observer would
measure the speed of the arrow as the sum of the two speeds, or 300 km
per hour (see figure). In analogy, if the train moves at the speed of
light and a passenger shines a laser in the same direction, then
common sense indicates that a trackside observer should see the light
moving at the sum of the two speeds, or twice the speed of light (6 ×
108 metres per second). While such a law of addition of velocities is
valid in classical mechanics, the Michelson-Morley experiment showed
that light does not obey this law. This contradicts common sense; it
implies, for instance, that both a train moving at the speed of light
and a light beam emitted from the train arrive at a point farther
along the track at the same instant. Nevertheless, Einstein made the
constancy of the speed of light for all observers a postulate of his
new theory. As a second postulate, he required that the laws of
physics have the same form for all observers. Then Einstein extended
his postulates to their logical conclusions to form special
relativity."

Will the scientific community ever be able to realize that in 1887 the
Michelson-Morley experiment was INCONSISTENT with "the constancy of
the speed of light for all observers" and consistent with the
antithesis, the equation c'=c+v given by Newton's emission theory of
light? Is there any hope?
