The mass-energy equivalence is the most absurd nonsense. All those who chant the e=mcc slogan are liars, frauds, fools. They are despised by both gods and dogs.  Worthy humans will get rid of that nonsense and replace it with BigDog Arindam's correct formula.

Great comeback of Aristotle and Jewish metaphysics by the e=mcc=hv lies which have been solidified in the public mind by nukes. However not just nukes but all explosions are elegantly explained by Arindam's formula. Which is intuitive, non-destructive and kinetic with no.math mumbo jumbo and wrong assumptions.
The low moral and intellectual level of all physicists is demonstrated by their reaction to Arindam's original genius work. Main culprit here is the ongoing bundle with the analysis of the MMI experiment.  They forgot that the apparatus was moving with the Earth. So the light oaths are different from what is now taken to be. And that is the bungle they will not look at for obvious reasons.

Light Doppler shifts involve compression waves.

No they do not. Wavelengths onlySEEM to get compressed. Frequency varies with the relative velocity of light from source to sink.

I don't think anything of that kind. Anyone from some well funded organisation can say anything and expect belief. That does not work on individuals like myself. Bow-wow
