Einsteinians know no limits: Another incredible "explanation" of the
wavelength shift (the wavelength SHOULD vary if the speed of light is
to remain constant):

http://www.fourmilab.ch/cship/doppler.html
"To correctly calculate the Doppler shift for large velocities, we
have to take into account the Lorentz contraction of spacetime. As we
travel along the propagating wave, the rate at which we encounter
peaks and troughs is affected not only by the ratio of our velocity to
the speed the wave is travelling, but also by the Lorentz contraction
in the direction of our travel. When we're approaching a wave, Lorentz
contraction increases the Doppler shift we observe since the wave
crests become increasingly contracted in space; consequently we
measure a shorter wavelength. Since the Lorentz contraction increases
without bound as we approach the speed of light, so the Doppler shift
increases without bound, rather than merely doubling the frequency as
we'd expect from classical physics. If we're receding from the wave,
the Doppler shift is reduced by special relativity. Why? The Lorentz
contraction is the same regardless of whether we're approaching an
object or receding from it. The Lorentz contraction will, then, reduce
the wavelength of the wave at the same time the Doppler shift is
increasing it."

The arguments Einsteinians use above are quite similar to the
arguments the shopkeeper uses in proving that the parrot is both alive
and beautiful:

Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong
with it?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead,
that's what's wrong with it!
Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm
looking at one right now.
Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the
Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

John Stachel: "How can it happen that the speed of light relative to
an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves
towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled
with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of
despair. We have no details of this struggle, unfortunately."

Einstein's irrationality taught in Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world:
the speed of light does not depend on the speed of the observer
(Divine Albert said so), therefore the wavelengh does:

http://sampit.geol.sc.edu/Doppler.html
"Moving observer: A man is standing on the beach, watching the tide.
The waves are washing into the shore and over his feet with a constant
frequency and wavelength. However, if he begins walking out into the
ocean, the waves will begin hitting him more frequently, leading him
to perceive that the wavelength of the waves has decreased."

http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teaching/HPS_0410/chapters/big_bang/index.html
John Norton: "Here's a light wave and an observer. If the observer
were to hurry towards the source of the light, the observer would now
pass wavecrests more frequently than the resting observer. That would
mean that moving observer would find the frequency of the light to
have increased (AND CORRESPONDINGLY FOR THE WAVELENGTH - THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN CRESTS - TO HAVE DECREASED)."

No-one's as dee-vine as Albert Einstein
Not Maxwell, Curie, or Bohr!
He explained the photo-electric effect,
And launched quantum physics with his intellect!
His fame went glo-bell, he won the Nobel --
He should have been given four!
No-one's as dee-vine as Albert Einstein,
Professor with brains galore!
No-one could outshine Professor Einstein --
Egad, could that guy derive!
He gave us special relativity,
That's always made him a hero to me!
Brownian motion, my true devotion,
He mastered back in aught-five!
No-one's as dee-vine as Albert Einstein,
Professor in overdrive!

We all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity.
Yes we all believe in relativity, 8.033, relativity.
Einstein's postulates imply
That planes are shorter when they fly.
Their clocks are slowed by time dilation
And look warped from aberration.
We all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity.
Yes we all believe in relativity, 8.033, relativity.
