Only a criminal can teach Einstein zombie world that, even if "light
in vacuum does not travel at the invariant speed of the Lorentz
transform", special relativity "would be unaffected":
http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.physics.relativity/browse_frm/thread/8034dc146...
Tom Roberts, Feb 1 2006: "If it is ultimately discovered that the
photon has a nonzero mass (i.e. light in vacuum does not travel at the
invariant speed of the Lorentz transform), SR would be unaffected but
both Maxwell's equations and QED would be refuted (or rather, their
domains of applicability would be reduced)."
