A rocket of length h accelerates with acceleration g. An emitter at
the front end sends light towards an observer at the back end. At the
moment of emission the frequency is f and the speed of light relative
to the emitter is c. At the moment of reception the observer measures
the frequency to be f'=f(1+gh/c^2).

THEOREM 4: If the assumption that the wavelength varies with position
is absurd, then, at the moment of reception, the speed of light
relative to the observer is:

c' = c(1+gh/c^2) = c+v

where v is the speed of the emitter (at the moment of emission)
relative to the observer (at the moment of reception).

The result is consistent with Newton's emission theory of light and
refutes Einstein's special relativity.

"These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors
at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a
switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in
the barn. Now someone takes the pole and tries to run (at nearly the
speed of light) through the barn with the pole horizontal. Special
Relativity (SR) says that a moving object is contracted in the
direction of motion: this is called the Lorentz Contraction. So, if
the pole is set in motion lengthwise, then it will contract in the
reference frame of a stationary observer.....So, as the pole passes
through the barn, there is an instant when it is completely within the
barn. At that instant, you close both doors simultaneously, with your
switch. Of course, you open them again pretty quickly, but at least
momentarily you had the contracted pole shut up in your barn. The
runner emerges from the far door unscathed.....If the doors are kept
shut the rod will obviously smash into the barn door at one end. If
the door withstands this the leading end of the rod will come to rest
in the frame of reference of the stationary observer. There can be no
such thing as a rigid rod in relativity so the trailing end will not
stop immediately and the rod will be compressed beyond the amount it
was Lorentz contracted. If it does not explode under the strain and it
is sufficiently elastic it will come to rest and start to spring back
to its natural shape but since it is too big for the barn the other
end is now going to crash into the back door and the rod will be
trapped in a compressed state inside the barn."

THEOREM 3: If the assumption that an infinitely long object can be
trapped inside an infinitely short container is absurd, then the speed
of light, c, varies with the speed of the emitter, v, in accordance
with the equation c'=c+v given by Newton's emission theory of light.

"So, it is absolutely true that the speed of light is not constant in
a gravitational field [which, by the equivalence principle, applies as
well to accelerating (non-inertial) frames of reference]. If this were
not so, there would be no bending of light by the gravitational field
of stars....Indeed, this is exactly how Einstein did the calculation
in: 'On the Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light,'
Annalen der Physik, 35, 1911. which predated the full formal
development of general relativity by about four years. This paper is
widely available in English. You can find a copy beginning on page 99
of the Dover book 'The Principle of Relativity.' You will find in
section 3 of that paper, Einstein's derivation of the (variable) speed
of light in a gravitational potential, eqn (3). The result is,
c' = c0 ( 1 + V / c^2 )
where V is the gravitational potential relative to the point where the
speed of light c0 is measured."

THEOREM 1: The speed of light obeys the equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) if and
only if, in the absence of a gravitational field, it obeys the
equation c'=c+v where v is the speed of the emitter relative to the
observer.

Both equations belong to Newton's emission theory of light and
contradict Einstein's 1905 light postulate:

http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ "...light is
always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is
independent of the state of motion of the emitting body."

THEOREM 2 (The Redshift Law): If the assumption that the wavelength of
light varies with the speed of the observer is absurd, then the
following unversal equation holds:

f'/f = c'/c

where f' is the shifted frequency of light (at the moment of
reception), f is the original frequency (at the moment of emission),
c' is the speed of light relative to the observer (at the moment of
reception), c is the speed of light relative to the emitter (at the
moment of emission).
