Androcles says...

That is the most bizarre claim I've ever heard, Androcles.

   We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which will
   hereafter be called the ``Principle of Relativity'') to
   the status of a postulate, and also introduce another
   postulate, which is only apparently irreconcilable with
   the former, namely, that light is always propagated in
   empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent
   of the state of motion of the emitting body.

He is clearly saying that light has constant speed c.

Later he writes:

    We now have to prove that any ray of light, measured in the
    moving system, is propagated with the velocity c, if, as we
    have assumed, this is the case in the stationary system

Somehow you missed the fact that Einstein was assuming that
light propagates at speed c in both frames? After years of
arguing about relativity, you missed this, most important
fact about Einstein's theory?

Androcles, go take a course. Find a junior college that teaches
an introductory course in relativity. I'm sure it's not too expensive.
