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

 
You know I tend to get the idea that some things in physics
are actually based upon observation, but burying one's head
in the sand for some things can be subtle.
 
For a constant speed of light (hey don't confuse Doppler
effect with speed) you don't just have one observation, but
the simple idea that if changed speeds for light happened
upon emission and observation kept happening time after
time after time then eventually you would have some very
slow and very fast light with some of that light actually
going as slow as you can jog.
 
But the big one is of course RADAR (radio detecting and
ranging).  It does not just guide missiles.  It can also
be used in weather forecasting.  Simple inferences about
how RADAR works eventually calls out naysaying as naysaying,
no matter how much the naysayers may repeat themselves.
