Firstly, we discuss an error in the derivation of the “Standard” Doppler shift formula: ν₀=ν_e(1-β²)^1/2/(1+βcosθ). On correcting it, we then obtain ν₀=ν_e(1-βcosθ)(1-β²)^1/2. However, this “correct” special relativistic formula for the Doppler shift disagrees with the Ives-Stilwell experiment, and with all experiments supporting the standard formula. We therefore argue that the relativity of time is ruled out by experiments, and that the universality of time is upheld as the only possible alternative. Universal time also arises “naturally” within the categorical framework of the Universal Theory of Relativity.

Keywords: Correct Doppler formula, No relative time, Universal Time.
