There is absolutely no need for the LT or gamma to calculate the speed of light.

 

There exist two possibilities for the speed of light.
Neither requires the LT or gamma.

 

1. An ether exists in space/vacuum.

 

Then light behaves like sound, immediately forming compression waves in the ether. Light speed is c plus or minus the speed of the observer/destination.

 

Then, the relative motion of the source can be known from the Doppler shift plus/minus the relative motion of the destination.

 

2. No ether exists.

 

Then light behaves as a particle in space/vacuum, sharing the motion of the source, as in Galileo's ship. Entering interstellar gas particles, it forms compression waves, saving information on relative motion.

 

CONCLUSION: THERE IS NO USE FOR THE LT OR GAMMA AT HIGH SPEEDS.

 

You have no idea how hopelessly naive what you write is. Everybody and
his mother knew already in the late 1800s that your approach did not work
(for the observed experimental reasons).

  Like I've been telling you, Larry, you just don't know what you don't know, and it shows with every post you make.

Stop making wise faces, poor halfbrain - the mumble
of your idiot guru was not even consistent, you've been
proven it many times and spitting with Polish jokes
is no way changing that.
