Beautiful dead science and doublethink:

The truth: Maxwell's theory says the speed of light does not depend on
the speed of the emitter but does depend on the speed of the observer:

"Maxwell's theory of electricity and magnetism provides a successful
framework with which to study light.  In this theory light is an
electromagnetic wave.  Using Maxwell's equations one can compute the
speed of light.  One finds that the speed of light is 300,000,000
meters (186,000 miles) per second. The question arises: which inertial
observer is this speed of light relative to?  As in the previous
paragraph, two inertial observers traveling relative to each other
should observe DIFFERENT SPEEDS FOR THE SAME LIGHT WAVE."

"Les équations de Maxwell prévoyaient la propagation de la lumière à
la vitesse de 300.000 km/s par rapport à l'éther. Or, si l'on cherche
à calculer la vitesse de la lumière par rapport à un référentiel qui
est lui-même mobile dans l'éther, on observe que la lumière se propage
avec une vitesse différente..."

John Norton: "Einstein's second postulate, the light postulate,
asserts that "light is always propagated in empty space with a
definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the
emitting body." Einstein gave no justification for this postulate in
the introduction to his paper. Its strongest justification came from
Maxwell's electrodynamics. That theory had identified light with waves
propagating in an electromagnetic field and concluded that just one
speed was possible for them in empty space, c = 300,000 km/sec, no
matter what the motion of the emitter."

The lie (always one leap ahead of the truth): Maxwell's theory says
the speed of light is absolute and does not depend on the speed of the
observer:

Relativity Tutorial: "But 200 years after Newton the theory of
electromagnetism was developed into Maxwell's equations. These
equations describe waves with a speed of 1/sqrt(epsilon_o*mu_o), where
epsilon_o is the constant describing the strength of the electrostatic
force in a vacuum, and mu_o is the constant describing the strength of
the magnetic interaction in a vacuum. This is an absolute velocity --
it is not relative to anything."

"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. Again,
this phenomenon is due to the fact that the source and the observer
are not the in the same frame of reference. Although the wavelength
appears to have decreased to the man, the wavelength would appear
constant to a jellyfish floating along with the tide."

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)."

"Donc, Maxwell se demanda: "Mais pourquoi donc mes paramètres
correspondent-ils à la vitesse de la lumière ?" Et il fit des calculs
palpitants pendant longtemps. Après des heures de plaisir, il trouva
que ses équations prédisaient une vitesse c pour les ondes
électromagnétiques (la lumière par exemple) et que cette vitesse c
était une constante, peut importe le référentiel. Donc, peut importe
qui mesure la vitesse de la lumière, ça sera toujours c."

http://www.techno-science.net/?onglet=glossaire&definition=1711
"D'après les théories de la physique moderne, et notamment les
équations de Maxwell, la lumière visible et toutes les ondes
électromagnétiques ont une vitesse constante dans le vide, la vitesse
de la lumière. On la considère donc comme une constante physique notée
c (du latin celeritas, « vitesse »). Mais elle n'est pas seulement
constante (pense-t-on) en tous les endroits (et à tous les âges) de
l'univers (principes cosmologiques faible et fort, respectivement) ;
elle l'est également d'un repère inertiel à un autre (principe
d'équivalence restreint). En d'autres termes : quel que soit le repère
inertiel de référence d'un observateur ou la vitesse de l'objet
émettant la lumière, tout observateur obtiendra la même mesure."

George Orwell: "Doublethink means the power of holding two
contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both
of them. The Party intellectual knows in which direction his memories
must be altered; he therefore knows that he is playing tricks with
reality; but by the exercise of doublethink he also satisfies himself
that reality is not violated. The process has to be conscious, or it
would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it also has to
be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and
hence of guilt. Doublethink lies at the very heart of Ingsoc, since
the essential act of the Party is to use conscious deception while
retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty. To
tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any
fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary
again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed,
to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take
account of the reality which one denies - all this is indispensably
necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to
exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is
tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this
knowledge ; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead
of the truth."

George Orwell: "It need hardly be said that the subtlest practitioners
of doublethink are those who invented doublethink and know that it is
a vast system of mental cheating. In our society, those who have the
best knowledge of what is happening are also those who are furthest
from seeing the world as it is. In general, the greater the
understanding, the greater the delusion ; the more intelligent, the
less sane."
