Waves: Frequency and speed vary proportionally for a moving observer.

Particles: Frequency and speed vary proportionally for a moving observer.

Light in Einstein's relativity: Frequency varies but speed gloriously remains constant for a moving observer.

Einstein wrestled with his conscience "over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair" before introducing the nonsense:

John Stachel: "But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair." http://www.aip.org/history/exhibits/einstein/essay-einstein-relativity.htm

A light source emits equidistant pulses and an observer/receiver starts moving towards the source with speed v:

The speed of the light pulses relative to the observer shifts from c to c'=c+v, in violation of Einstein's relativity, and the frequency at the observer shifts from f=c/d to f'=c'/d.

The speed of the pulses relative to the observer will remain constant, c'=c, and Einstein's relativity will be saved, if the motion of the observer somehow shifts the distance between the pulses from d to d'=dc/(c+v). This is the ONLY way to save relativity, in accordance with the formula

(frequency) = (speed of light)/(distance between pulses)

The problem is that the shift from d to d'=dc/(c+v) is just as obviously idiotic as Big Brother's 2+2=5.
