All waves need media to propagate. Light's medium is aether.

That makes sense to me: the speed of propagation of water waves
when a boat passes by is not dependent on the speed of the boat,
it depends on the medium.  (Right?)

The result is that it is thoroughly confirmed that
the speed of light is invariant.

 No, the result is that some brainwashed idiots
are asserting  that the speed of light is
invariant,

You mean like Maxwell?  SR is taking Maxwell for serious,
namely, EM laws as *laws of nature*, and that amounts to
the (theoretical, has to be confirmed by experiment) fact
that the "speed of light (in vacuum)" is not just constant
but the same in every inertial frame of reference.

ignoring the fact that even
their idiot guru had to abandon this
absurd soon after he invented it.

Did He?  It seems to me He even pushed it further with
the Equivalence Principle, whence GR...  And how would
that affect the "speed of light" anyway?
