Einsteins light box imaginary experiment

The light box imaginary experiment is misleading and inconclusive because:
1. It is an immaginary experiment, and produces whatever Einstein's imagination wants to  
2. Light is a wave, not a projectile like particle. Einstein treats it as the latter, which is plain wrong.
3. If light is a wave then its speed relative to the box doesnt change and does not add to the speed of the box, so it doesnt hit it faster or slower, like a ball would.
4. Did I mention light is a wave and that an observer or a box cant chase it ? The box cant chase the 'photon', as if light was a particle.

5. Because the light is encased in the box, there are no Doppler shifts and the energy of light remains unchanged.


Light is a WAVE, and a wave always travels at the same speed c no matter how fast the source or observer are moving. How can the box move away or toward the light wave, if no matter how you move the box, the wave still moves at the same speed ? It looks like Einstein was treating light as a ball like particle, not as a wave. There are NO photons in Maxwell's equations.

Also, these immaginary thought experiments are completelly pointless if there's no way to reproduce them in the real world. Just because you can imagine something doesnt mean that can actually happen. For example Einstein's light clock is pure non-sense because light doesnt behave like Einstein imagines or expects it to behave. Because light is wave, it's speed does not compose with the speed of the mirrors and doesnt follow the mirrors as they are moving, it simply misses them. Thats why its physically impossible to build a functional light clock using two mirrors and a 'photon'. Only if light was a ball like particle you could do that
