The following text is consistent with Einstein's relativity theory but
inconsistent with both Maxwell's electromagnetic theory and Newton's
emission theory of light:

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)."

The following text is consistent with both Maxwell's electromagnetic
theory and Newton's emission theory of light but inconsistent with
Einstein's relativity theory:

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 SPEED OF LIGHT - TO HAVE
INCREASED AS WELL).

Conclusion: Either both Maxwell's electromagnetic theory and Newton's
emission theory are wrong or Einstein's relativity theory is wrong.
