   Re: John Norton : Theoretical Physicists

   From: pvalev@yahoo.com   
      
   So theoretical physicists "almost universally" teach that the Michelson-Morley   
   experiment has disproved Newton's variable speed of light, and John Norton,   
   high priest in the Einstein Cult, reveals that this is a blatant lie. Two   
   questions:   
      
   1. Why is Norton doing this? Isn't it dangerous for the Einstein Cult?   
      
   2. Why has nobody come to the obvious conclusion: "Since in 1887 the   
   Michelson-Morley experiment was compatible with Newton's variable speed of   
   light, c'=c±v, it was incompatible with the constant speed of light, c'=c,   
   posited by the ether theory and "   
   borrowed" by Einstein in 1905."   
      
   Answering both questions: Theoretical physics has been dead for a long time,   
   so criticising it, like beating a dead horse, is pointless. No danger for the   
   Einstein Cult. Norton just likes to startle brothers Einsteinians sometimes by   
   telling the truth.    
   Here is another example:   
      
   John Norton: "[Maxwell's] theory allows light to slow and be frozen in the   
   frame of reference of a sufficiently rapidly moving observer." h
