John's original statement was, "Put simply if the speed of light is
not dependent on the physical processes taking place in the source
then what physical process is it dependent upon?"

The geometrical argument does not answer the question of why when
light is emitted from a moving source the speed of the source does not

I'm sorry that, after all these years, you are unable to grasp
even the simplest physics. You should find a new hobby rather than
waste your energy pursuing something you are incapable of understanding.

Regardless of what you think about me, John posed a simple question
and the geometrical argument provided by Tom and you does not provide
an answer.

The answer is that the physical process emts the light at speed c relative
to the source.

There is no speeding up or slowing down involved.

Do you think that a source does add speed to the emitted
light, but then somehow the geometry of the universe slows it down

The light does not slow down .. it travels at c fro mthe instant it is
created

and keeps it at "c,"

It never changes from c

or do you believe the geometry of the universe
prevents the speed of the source from affecting the speed of the
emitted light, and if so, how?

The light is emitted at c relative to the source.

The geometry affects how someone else (another FoR) measure the light ..
that measurement is independant of the source speed.
