No, invariant means that the speed of light does not vary with the speed
of the emitter.
There is no such thing as the inertial reference frame in the entire
universe.
Everything moves in the solid fine aether or AUM.

As is the case for light.

Actually it does, as redshift and blueshift shows, and the Doppler radar
effect.

It would be interesting to see the math that shows that
Doppler shift of EM-radiation implies that the speed of light

However we cannot find the speed of the moving Earth (or aether drift as
they called it) as it is just not possible. The light speed variance
nicely cuts out the extra plus or minus distances travelled.

In other words, it is impossible to find the speed of the Earth
in the aether because the speed of light is invariant, and light
isn't a wave in an aether.

What does "deep thinking" mean? Is it logical thinking?
Can you show the logic that show that it is impossible
to measure the speed of the Earth in the aether?
