Speed of light has to be variant in the Copernican model. Light is a

 Not at all.

You use the Copernican model to defend your claim
that the speed of light isn't invariant, and are
not confused? :-D

 

The Copernican model is wrong, the Sun isn't the centre of the Universe.
And in 1543 Copernicus  knew nothing about the speed of light.

The Sun is at the centre of the solar system, of which you may have
heard. The Earth goes around the Sun. The Sun and the planets do NOT go
around the Earth in crystal spheres. Where the stars are supposedly
light from Heaven casting their light through pricks on the crystal
spheres.

And that means that the speed of light isn't invariant? :-D

But forget quantum theories, it is irrelevant to the question
if the speed of light is invariant.

So I ask you again:

What is the speed of light measured in a frame of reference

No answer, Bertietaylor?
I am beginning to suspect that you are unable to answer the question:
"How can the speed of a wave in an aether be invariant?"
Maybe you don't know what invariant means?
