what is meant by lightspeed constancy by modern physics is vague, and in my 2018 talk I point out if what is meant is conventionalism then its Boscovich's theory (published 1758)
2017 talk on Boscovich: Dragoslav Stoiljkovic and Roger Anderton: "Boscovich's comprehensions of relative movement" points out Boscovich's theory in its considertaions of absolute motion and relative motion: allows FTL, acceleration without force etc. Dragoslav Stoiljkovic and Roger Anderton: "Boscovich's comprehensions of relative movement" 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | Dragoslav Stoiljkovic and Roger Anderton: "Boscovich's comprehensi...

This one is more difficult. https://www.space.com/41724-neutron-star-merger-superfast-jet.html All one can say about this reasoning, or lack thereof, is “lame”… or to be more precise: “invented.” The conclusion of superluminal emission can probably be debunked eventually but not by inventing a “cocoon” which had to be travelling even faster in order to be in place to distort the measurement… Maybe it is simply poor technical writing.
