Actually Hairy Henree Wilson, that isn't quite the claim, is it? The
claim is that the speed of light when MEASURED in any reference frame
[such as little planet Earth] gives a value of c. A measurement is a
different thing from the actual light.
And in any event, why is the source of the light relevant? Are you
suggesting that "old" light is somehow different from "newborn"
light?
