The speed of light is a constant ratio in all frames and thus it DOES
not depend on the speed of the light source.

It is true that the physical length of a long train cannot be trapped
inside a physically shorter tunnel. Also it is true that that a
physically 80 m long pole Cannot be trapped inside a  physically 40m
long barn.

The speed of light from a stationary source is a constant ratio in all
frames and thus it does not depend on the speed of the light source.
The speed of light does depend on the speed of a moving source as
follows:
c'=(detected frequency of the moving source)(universal wavelength of
the moving source)

A physically long train cannot be trapped inside a physically shorter
tunnel and a physically 80m long pole cannot be trapped inside a
physically shorter barn. SR uses the bogus concept of Relativity of
Simultaneity to explain these paradoxes. The front door closes and
open and thus allow the front of the pole exist the barn before the
rear end of the pole is completely inside the barn. In other words the
pole was never inside the barn with both doors close simultaneously.
