Unlike Frenchmen, Anglophones say "Uh oh Einstein" in such cases. But
some mystery always remains so that, if Einstein's false light
postulate is to be attacked, this could only be done by Lee Smolin in
the Perimeter Institute.  Only Lee Smolin in the Perimeter Institute
knows how Einstein criminal cult can extract money from attacks
against Einstein's false light postulate:

"The speed of light is the speed of light, and that's that. Right?
Well, maybe not. Try and figure this out. Astronomers studying
radiation coming from a distant galaxy found that the high energy
gamma rays arrived a few minutes after the lower-energy photons, even
though they were emitted at the same time. If true, this result would
overturn Einstein's theory of relativity, which says that all photons
should move at the speed of light. Uh oh Einstein."

Lee Smolin: "Now, here is the really interesting part: Some of the
effects predicted by the theory appear to be in conflict with one of
the principles of Einstein's special theory of relativity, the theory
that says that the speed of light is a universal constant. It's the
same for all photons, and it is independent of the motion of the
sender or observer. How is this possible, if that theory is itself
based on the principles of relativity? The principle of the constancy
of the speed of light is part of special relativity, but we quantized
Einstein's general theory of relativity. Because Einstein's special
theory is only a kind of approximation to his general theory, we can
implement the principles of the latter but find modifications to the
former. And this is what seems to be happening! So Gambini, Pullin,
and others calculated how light travels in a quantum geometry and
found that the theory predicts that the speed of light has a small
dependence on energy. Photons of higher energy travel slightly slower
than low-energy photons....A very exciting question we are now
wrestling with is, How drastically shall we be forced to modify
Einstein's special theory of relativity if the predicted effect is
observed? The most severe possibility is that the principle of
relativity simply fails....But there is another possibility. This is
that the principle of relativity is preserved, but Einstein's special
theory of relativity requires modification so as to allow photons to
have a speed that depends on energy. The most shocking thing I have
learned in the last year is that this is a real possibility. A photon
can have an energy-dependent speed without violating the principle of
relativity!"
