'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

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?

According to "intuitionist1" <intuitionist1@gmail.com> aka Sabbir <sarahman@alum.mit.edu>

He didn't. You might as well add my name to your list now. Good luck.
According to peeved praise-seeking patronising volunteer schoolmarm Sabbir Sarahman, Einstein did not write the equation he wrote.

Update from Blind Judas Rosen 8th Sep 2011

  news:33bc79b0-86c0-4255-922c-21f0754383b9@d2g2000vby.googlegroups.com

 We are far removed at this point from your original claim that
Einstein said that the speed of light is c+v and c-v. Obviously, he
never stated it or you would have quoted the statement. Even if
Einstein made another mistake (he didn't), he did not make the mistake
that you claim he made.

There is no c-v or c+v in that inequality, boys and girls. Blind Judas said so. The blind lunatic's rant continues:

Lurkers everywhere. You too, Hanson. I know very well why
Androcles made the statement. Einstein never made the mistake that
Androcles says he made.
I understand also understand why Androcles is saying it. Androcles
is math aphasic. He can't do a word problem in mathematics. He has no
ability to coordinate words with equations. When he reads an equations
with the words that define the symbols, there is a gap in his
understanding between the words and the numbers. Any spurious thought
that crosses his mind is posted on the internet. He will never correct
himself because he is physiologically incapable of understanding
mathematics. Which is not a crime. However, he has another pathology
that forces him to say he understands mathematics.
Androcles likes to claim that it is just Einstein and Lorentz.
However, it is also Newton, Maxwell, Faraday, Leibnitz, Heisenberg and
every other physicist. He picks on Einstein because some people (like
you, Hanson) have a knee jerk reaction to Jews. So these people give
him the credibility that he doesn't deserve.
Whenever I have seen Androcles quote a physicist, any physicist,
he has gotten the meaning wrong. This isn't about Einstein. It is
about Androcles. He always gets it wrong.

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

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.
