You argued for something even more stupid. Light traveling infinitely fast towards the observer.
Or to put it another way. Trying to shoehorn what you believe to fit reality.
Quote:"..using the observational definition of time, the speed of light depends on its direction of propagation relative to the observer. (Again, this is a property of spacetime, and not a property of light. All relativistic particles such as neutrinos would also move at different speeds in different directions.) Light travels at the canonical speed of 1,079 million km/hr only when moving tangentially relative to an observer. It moves at half the canonical value when moving directly away from the observer, and it moves infinitely fast when travelling directly toward the observer—travelling instantaneously from point A to point B."
So this would mean that whenever you observe something happen in Space it actually just happened, rather than 13 billion years ago or however many light-years the object is away. This model holds up in all the tests so it really is an exciting new approach.

Travelling instantly from point A to point B. lets all just point and laugh.










You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
