CONCLUSION
In summation, electromagnetic phenomena exhibit the special quality of an absolute velocity of propagation. Maintaining this extraordinary state of affairs requires that the wave's length and frequency vary inversely and proportionally with one another. These variations in frequency and wave length are a function of the observer's relative velocity and act in unison to maintain the constant propagation velocity of the wave. Angular velocity acts as a kind of governor, increasing as the wave compresses (relative to the observer) and decreasing as the wave elongates (relative to the observer).
As the proposed theory demonstrates, adding or subtracting the observer's relative velocity to/from the Doppler effected wave's angular velocity equals the angular velocity of the standard wave. Ergo, the principle of relative velocity in accordance with the Galilei-Newton laws of classical mechanics and the law of the propagation of electromagnetic phenomena are not in conflict and a special theory of relativity is not required. This in turn allows matter (measuring rods), time (clocks) and indeed simultaneity to remain the absolute standards of temporal reality that logic commands.

The author supposed the following schematic as representative of the dimensions of a standard electromagnetic wave. The justification for the use of a standard electromagnetic wave for the purposes of comparison is predicated upon understanding that the Doppler effected photon wave that the observer measures differs from the photon wave as it exists prior to its encounter with the observer. A theoretical standard wave provides the necessary parameters by which the distorted Doppler wave’s characteristics can be evaluated. The hypothesis respecting the dimensions of the standard electromagnetic wave implies a constant relationship between the standard wave’s linear and angular length. The wave’s structure is based on that of an elliptical curve (see figure 5).
