Thread rating:  |
Henri Wilson - 21 Mar 2006 23:12 GMT Modern astronomy is based on the assumption that all starlight in the universe travels to little planet Earth at precisely 'c'.
I wonder what magical power arranged for this to happen since in many cses, Earth wasn't even in existence when the light left its source.
The question is, "how can the speed of anything, including light, be given a magnitude wrt something that doesn't exist?"
Did the light from a star 10 billion LYs away somehow 'know' where the Earth was going to be 10 billion years later?

Not quite *all* modern astronomy. My telescope still works with slower and faster starlight. Ozzie telescopes work by looking at the wrong end, they are upside down and see different stars.

It's all part of the inbreeding that has afflicted physics for 100 years.
Why do you think all starlight in the universe travels at c towards little planet Earth....when Earth wasn't even in existence when most of the light was emitted.

Just because *YOU* failed to understand relativity does not mean relativity is false. Though, it is way too late for you to change your position - you have invested years of time saying how wrong relativity is so you can't go back now.

According to Einstein, all the light in the universe traveling in a particular direction does so at one particular speed. (Forget about putting a value on that speed for hte moment). Similarly, all the light traveling in the opposite direction does so at one particular speed. It follows that there exists a plane about which these opposite rays move symmetrically. Extend this argument to include light moving in all directions. The conclusion is that there exists ONE SINGLE point in the universe about which all light moves symmetrically.
According to Einstein, all light arriving at Earth from all directions does so symmetrically, at speed c. Therefore it follows that Earth must be located right at the above point, which is the absolute centre of the universe.

There are infinitely many planes with respect to which the velocity of the rays will be symmetric. Regardless of the motion of the plane wrt the sources (toward or away) the light will still be moving at c wrt in both directions.

PD, anyone can manufacture a postulate and then describe it mathematically. One can then fiddle with the maths and, a.s in the case of SR, describe the postulate in a most complicated way in a different geometry.
This kind of procedure, in spite of its impressive jargon, does not prove the postulate. It merely describes it in an alternative way.

Imagine a star in remote space. Moving past it right across the universe are lots of photons, all traveling at the same speed in any particular direction, according to your pet theory.
WHY SHOULD LIGHT EMITTED BY THAT STAR TRAVEL AT THE SAME SPEED AS THE OTHER PHOTONS?

But that isn't quite what happens in science. A theory is based on certain assumptions and postulates, which are adopted without proof. Then the consequences of those postulates and assumptions are developed to the point where they make specific predictions about measurable quantities, and in particular predictions that are different than the ones about the same measurable quantities that stem from a theory with a different set of postulates and assumptions. Thus if theory A, based on one set of postulates, is correct, then the measured value of measurable property P will have value X; if theory B, based on another set of postulates, is correct, then the measured value of measurable property P will instead have the value Y. Then an experiment is done. If the measurement is consistent with X and not consistent with Y, then we have support that the postulates assumed in A are correct, and the postulates assumed in B are not correct.

Because the laws of electrodynamics say that propagating disturbances in the electromagnetic field (that is, light) do so at a single speed in vacuum. Those laws have ample support in every application that they are applied to, and there is not a stitch of evidence (despite looking for it) that light does *not* propagate at this one speed.

Since Henri says he believes Maxwell's equations, I tried to show that Maxwell's equations directly require c to be constant. I tried arguing that the only solution to the 2 wave equations in E and B which appear directly [with a little work] from Maxwell's equations only have solutions for c = constant.
Since Henri also believes himself to have a degree in applied mathematics, I figured that to be the best route. Boy was I wrong.
You will find that Henri refuses to make a calculation that he can write down - he will only make "calculations" through a computer program. When I ask for the equations that the program is based on, he gets grumpy.

Time for your weekly history lesson that never seems to sink in: Special relativity was created because Maxwell's equations are not invariant with respect to Galilean transformations.
Since you believe that c = c+v in at least some circumstances, you should be able to show me how to solve the two wave equations in E and B which trivially obtain from Maxwell's equations using c+v as the seperation constant. Failing that, you should be able to tell me how a second reference frame is able to observe c to be anything other than c using Maxwell's equations.
However, I have zero expectation that you are either willing or even CAPABLE of doing so. Feel free to prove me wrong with some actual mathematics, though. I would be impressed if you even tried.

Your time on this newsgroup is wasted. You obviously spend many hours a week doing nothing fruitful in here even though you believe your theory is correct. Rather than actually do an experiment or, *gasp*, read the f.cking literature, you rather see fit to sit on your dumb f.cking a.s and preach to us about how wrong *WE* are even though you barely understand the theories you criticise.

Maxwell's equation produce a value for the universal constant 'c'. In a medium that has measurable permittivity and permeability, that 'c' is also the natural speed at which EM will travel in that medium, which aso provides te reference frame for that speed.
In empty space, Maxwell's 'c' has no connection with speed since there is no reference frame. However if a light source exists in that empty space, its emitted light will move at c wrt that source.
Why that is true we don't yet know....because Einstein's stupid theory brought sensible research to a standstill.

Assume you are correct, and they do apply to a medium. Your theory is contingent on there being a medium called the "h-aether". Maxwell's equations apply!
Since Maxwell's equations DO apply in free space, your argument is crap no matter how you cut it.
Henri, I think it is time for you to explain where you got your education in physics. It was obviously not obtained from a university, nor was it obtained from any textbooks on modern physics.

If you've come here, read a few posts, and from that come to the conclusion, "Gee, there sure is a lot of noise about relativity here. Must be something wrong with it," well then, fine display of uninformed bandwagon-jumping there, Henri.

Well, then, I suppose the honorable thing to do would be for you to read the experimental papers, analyze what they did, and root out the source of their "fiddling". This has been done before for papers that turned out to be suspect (especially when they couldn't be verified). Otherwise, it is just a slanderous allegation on your part.
Have you considered writing to the authors of the experimental paper and asking them for details of their data and analysis? That's what reviewers do.

There is another explanation for variable star brightness that constitutes your "massive" evidence.
Note that the laws of electrodynamics say that the speed of light is single-valued in vacuum. So I suppose you are claiming that you have evidence that the laws of electrodynamics are wrong?

Light speed has been proved isotropic only when all parts of the measuring apparatus are mutually at rest.
OWLS from moving sources has never been shown to be isotropic.

Measurement of time of flight of photons from a moving pion has the source moving relative to the detectors, and there are detectors on both sides of that source.

Henri Wilson is unaware of how the exposure of methods in open publication for both review and independent repetition by another researcher is crucial to how science works. He imagines that we all work in secret, announce results without disclosing our methods, and get rich off patents.
I recall when the Pons/Fleischmann collaboration gave a colloquium about cold fusion at a national laboratory. They, too, were deliberately vague about some of the details of their methods. That is when some highly reputable scientists in the audience stood up and left. It was only later, under enormous pressure from the scientific community, that they were more forthcoming, to the point where independent verification could be done -- and where independent verification failed and cold fusion suffered a mortal wound.
Henri is of course ignorant of how science works in general, which is exhibited frequently in the things that he writes. He would like to be a rock star, because he likes the chicks that musicians attract, and he doesn't see why not being able to sing or play an instrument should stand in his way.

Witness his fantasies about what Maxwell's equations say. I still don't know beans about E&M but I do know what Maxwell's equations are, and I know my vector calculus and simple partial differential equations. Together I can make Maxwell's equations say some rather interesting things, like demanding the constancy of light speed among others.
Henri asserts c is actually velocity dependant, but he is incapable of deriving it from Maxwell's equations. He then "shows" me that I "believe" Maxwell's equations are are of the form c = f(E,B) for whatever reason.
It is classic Henri Wilson - mock your opponents so you don't have to take what they say seriously.

He somehow thinks he is going to dethrone Einstein by posting to sci.physics.relativity. Jerry had a nice, simple experiment for him and he refuses to do it. Rather, he wants to do something big and complicated that requires expensive and delicate equipment which he has no indication of being able to use.
I fully expect him to stall for a few more years, assuming I'm still watching this newsgroup then.
He won't publish [it isn't ready yet!] and he won't do any experiments, but by god he knows he is right. That is good enough for him.

As I have pointed out, all OWLS isotropy experiments have only been carried out with all parts of the apparatus mutually at rest.
In this case, the BaTh predicts that OWLS will be isotropic. In fact OWLS isotropy in single frame experiments provides some of the best supporting evidence for the BaTh. In such experiments, OWLS = TWLS = c.
Youn are a mormo planein and simple. You have no idea that light sped from a moving source has never beem measured. There has never been a proper OWLS isotropy experiment that uses moving sources.
So why don't you just f.ck off.

Yes, indeed. Some of the semiconductor design relies on *relativistic* quantum mechanics, and if that were not correct, then the design would fail. Furthermore, if you have a CRT monitor, there is a small but significant correction to the steering field that is required because of the relativistic correction to the momentum of the electron beam. If that were not correct, then applying this correction would produce a noticeable color misregistration at the outer edges of the monitor.
I'm suprised you aren't aware of how ubiquitous special relativity is in everyday technology, Henri.
On second thought, I'm not surprised after all.

You'll have to demonstrate that to me, Henri. Please do a little derivation of how the math ends up being almost the same as SR's, or point to a place where you've written that up.
> >> >I'm suprised you aren't aware of how ubiquitous special relativity is > >> >in everyday technology, Henri. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > typo. should be "relativistic".... Well, actually, most physicists now refer to mass as being the invariant quantity, not the quantity that increases. The "relativistic mass" is an old shorthand term for a combination of things that mostly confused people -- you as well, apparently.

Oh, come on, Henri. What kind of pseudo-scientific babble is that? Notice that the electrons in your computer monitor *do* crash into the phosphor screen. That's how it works.

They crash because they aren't in orbit.

In one post he bitches about how SR is an aether theory, reality notwithstanding. Then in another he will mutter about how his theory uses the "h-aether" to explain why light is observed to travel at c. Then we get to hear about the panacea called the "reverse field bubble".
Then, after that little triade finishes, we hear him rant about how there is no evidence supporting SR or GR. Then he goes on in another post saying his theory reproduces SR and GR to great accuracy, and how his theory gets the same answer. zuh?
At the very least, reading the sh.t Henri spews is a constant reminder that says "don't be like that" in either actions or thinking.

Since you do not understand special relativity, you are in no position to argue about it.
By the way, Henri. How is that experiment going? Are you even going to do it or are you going to be true to form and refuse to test your theory?

You really don't know anything about the theory or the experiments you love to hate, do you?
The Earth is required for the muon detection experiments because the muons are generated in the atmosphere by cosmic ray impacts with the atmosphere.
The Earth is required for the H&K experiment because the Earth is what is generating the gravitational field that makes manifest the effects from general relativity.
Why should anyone take you seriously since you have been saying asinine sh.t like this for years?
