http://www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=5538 Paul Davies: "Was Einstein wrong? Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 is the only scientific formula known to just about everyone. The "c" here stands for the speed of light. It is one of the most fundamental of the basic constants of physics. Or is it? In recent years a few maverick scientists have claimed that the speed of light might not be constant at all. Shock, horror! Does this mean the next Great Revolution in Science is just around the corner?" The speed of any particle does depend on the speed of the observer: as the observer starts moving towards the source of the particle with speed v, the initial speed of the particle, V, becomes V'=V+v. The speed of any wave does depend on the speed of the observer: as the observer starts moving towards the source of the wave with speed v, the initial speed of the wave, V, becomes V'=V+v. The speed of light does depend on the speed of the observer: as the observer starts moving towards the light source with speed v, the initial speed of light, c, becomes c'=c+v.
