The international community of scientists regards the speed of light
to be an isotropic constant c in the International Celestial Reference
System and all inter-planetary space flight calculations are done on
this basis.
Do you object to it?

If no, then why should there be any objection to my regarding the speed
of light to be an isotropic constant c in the Universal reference
frame?

Does SR dictate that speed of light cannot be an isotropic constant c
in the Universal Reference Frame?
