'we establish by definition that the "time" required by
light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it requires
to travel from B to A
' because I SAY SO and you have to
agree because I'm the great genius, STOOOPID, don't you
dare question it.
-- Rabbi Albert Einstein

(Einstein's essential unnamed third postulate highlighted in blue)

 The "time" required by light to travel from Earth to Mars equals the "time" it requires to travel from Mars to Earth.

Einstein's simultaneity hang-up:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ6N85lNgHY

The presenter clearly lies when he claims "During the time it takes the light to reach the observer his frame of reference moves closer to the forward pole (true)This observer sees the lightning strike the pole he is moving toward, first". 

 

THE QUESTION

(as formulated by hahahanson who dances on the Earth and is pristine and pure as the driven snow - or so he claims):

Why did Einstein say
the speed of light from A to B is c-v,
the speed of light from B to A is c+v,
the "time" each way is the same?

It's simple: Einstein never said that. However, lunacy is certainly
something you know a lot about.
According to Raving Simpleton Vickson, Einstein did not write the equation he wrote.

The "mental model" of the time was the aether, so he had to formulate
to include the effects of an aether. And he never claimed the time
each way was the same,

According to Numbskull Smiffy, Einstein did not write the equation he wrote.

According to Ranting Lunatic "Igor" Hoover, Einstein did not write the equation he wrote.

"c+v is not the speed of anything w.r.t. anything"

The blue pointer relative to the green ruler travels at half the speed of the blue pointer relative to the red ruler and  is "not the speed of anything w.r.t. anything", "it's a closing speed."

According to the novice mitch sperkins  @gmail.com (or mitchs perkins)

because +v / -v cancel out?

(Actually it should be v-c and v+c, the light changes direction upon reflection, not the emitter, but what would a dork like Einstein know?)____________________________________________________________________________
According to the Pillock Shawn Pollock (mathkills):

 Mikelzon Morrly, whatever.

What Einstein does is basically modify Galilean relativity as follows

X'=A(X-vt)
 yes you [Androcles] are an ass (presumably because I asked the question)
 

So.. x' = (x-vt)   =        X' = A(X-vt) ...

where did this ignoramus go to school? Math will kill him, he has the right name.

According to galloping glird:

Both x and x' are in the domain of the function x x'  such that x' = x-vt

We are not talking about the speed of light here we are talking
classical stability theory.

Easy: he did NOT say that.

According to Imbecile Jimmy Black:

" In neither system (meaning frame of reference in modern-day terminology)
is the speed of light c-v or c+v. In both systems the speed of light is c."

According to Imbecile Jimmy Black, Einstein did not write the equation he wrote.

According to Cretin Dork Bruere
I don't give a damn what Einstein wrote.

According to Lying Little Shit Matthew Johnson

And even the question is wrong! For he never said any such thing.

This should be painfully obvious from what he _did_ say,
namely, that the vacuum speed of light is a constant of nature,
invariant under all admissable [sic] transformations between
inertial reference frames.

Apparently LLS Matthew Johnson has rewritten Einstein's paper.

A team of scientists working under the direction of researchers from the University of Sussex have recently discovered that Einstein did not say "inertial".

According to  LLS Matthew Johnson, Einstein did not write the equation he wrote.

"c+v appears nowhere in the paper, nor could it.
