Henri Wilson - 26 May 2006 23:16 GMT
Relativists claim that GPS clock remain unchanged when sent into orbit. They
seem to think that something happens to TIME itself and this causes the clocks
to appear to run fast when seen from Earth.

Could one of the experts from the lunatic fringe please explain this process in
greater detail. There are aspects of it that are a little hard to follow.

According to GR the change in gravity potential causes the clock to run
fast. However, the transverse velocity of the clock causes it to be
read slower. The reason being the transverse Doppler effect (which
happens to be the same as the non existent time dilation).

The slower reading superimposes the faster reading --- the net result
is a faster than inerial reading on earth.

"Fast"?  Donchameen _slow_?

Assuming your "transverse velocity" is applicable here, what
you mean is that it causes it to run slower, not just to be "read"
slower, right?

Not so.  The De is an illusion, alright,  but that only tells us if
an object is coming or going, and not its actual speed.

The force of gravity lessens with altitude, so its effect on the
orbiting clocks will be less than at the earth's surface.  This is
a real effect, not illusory like the De.

It sure sounds like you have it backwards here, Vert.  Maybe
you can explain why it sound that way?

TOMGEE

VERGON
That depends on which way the change is. As you go up, the potential
increases and time goes faster

Here is an authority's version:

According to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, clocks run
slower in gravity fields. The stronger the gravity, the slower the rate
of time. But there are two components to gravity: the "gravitational
potential" and the "gravitational field" - the latter is how
fast objects accelerate when dropped, which on earth is around 9.8
m/s^2. Both are related to each other in the following way:
gravitational field is the negative gradient of the gravitational
potential. This means objects only accelerate when the gravitational
potential varies over some distance. So the question arises, is
gravitational time dilation due to the potential or the field? Most
physicists would say "Why does it matter?" and I say "You have no
idea how much it matters." The answer, by the way, is evident in the
following equation from General Relativity:

TOMGEE
> Assuming your "transverse velocity" is applicable here, what

VERGON
Wrong. Gravity increase  will cause time to RUN slower. Velocity
(transverse or receding) will cause it to READ slower. I've explained
all that elsewhere.

TOMGEE

VERGON
Wrong again. The degree of frequency shift tells how fast or slow.

That depends, Bill, on what that belief may be.  If it borders
on religious fervor for some, believing that Relativity is a
Bible of sorts, the Gospel as written by Einstein, so to speak,
they may indeed be part of the lunatic fringe, no?

No. Do not confuse faith with assured confidence, buttressed by
experimental observation.

Apparently you do not understand that Einstein's reputation meant
*nothing* (he didn't have one) until the predictions in his papers were
soundly confirmed by experiment.

Time is absolute, and in a free fall every atomic clock of the universe
shows the same time. But they work erratically if there is any change from
the free fall. Acceleration affects the function of the atomic clock, and
that has been measured in centrifuge. Free fall is the basic state without
any acceleration.
This is observable with current technology, and the result of the test will
invalidate either the relativity theory or this theory of gravity as falling
space.

Free fall is a state of acceleration, Happy Henry. A centrifuge has opposing
forces and objects in the centrifuge do not fly away.
You are confusing unopposed force with acceleration, and acceleration
is changing velocity as a function of time.
You are proven wrong by your own words, Happy Henry.

No, A, listen. This is not as clear cut as you think.
It depends whether acceleration is defined as a=F/M or a=dv/dt=d2x/dt2

In the case of an object in free fall towards the Earth, F/M=zero as measured
on the object itself.
However an observer on the moon would clearly see that dv/dt was increasing.

I tend to agree with Henry that all clocks in free fall should read the same.

After all, most Henrys are correct most of the time.

I and my car accelerate simultaneously but my mass is different to the

Hence acceleration is independent of mass and a = d2x/dt2.

So don't use F/M.
The command modules of the Apollo missions fell to Earth with the same

Australia is importing people to increase demand then borrowing overseas money

It is still independent of mass.
Accelerometers measure force, not acceleration. They are forcemeters.

The first observer sees the Earth accelerating toward him,
the second observer see the command module accelerate toward him.
The third observer sees the module accelerate away from him.
Acceleration is relative.
Einstein's "Principle of Equivalence" is bullshit, but then, he always was
dickhead. When you feel the thrust of the plane on the runway as
it makes it's takeoff roll, plane and passenger are equally accelerated
and it isn't gravity doing that, it is force transmitted through the
airframe.
a=dv/dt.

technology, TV, fridge and car, it is arable land for growing food and
already
prepared.
China and India (and Russia) can create their own technology, the central
Asian climate is like the Oz Outback, no good for food and the populations
are soaring among the uneducated. The interior of the USA is a breadbasket.
The hungry will fight for it. America's wealth is it's food.

This is the problem.
An accelerometer in free fall measures zero force.

However it is clear that a force is still operating on it because a third
observer will see a change in its velocity.

The question is, "does an object in free fall down a gravity gradient
experience the same downward force as one sitting on a platform at a fixed
height? Is the force (of gravity) reduced due to the free movement?

Intuitively, one would think YES, but observations of dv/dt suggest otherwise.

I think it was this question that confused Einstein and caused him to jump to
wrong conclusions.

They are very accurate ellipses.. ..planetry ellipses are quite inaccurate in
real life, due to the proximity of other objects.

Small departures from perfect ellipses make bugger all difference to the
brightness curves anyway.

Right. So the command module and occupants are accelerating toward
Earth by a = dx2/dt2 and F/M is irrelevant, the forcemeter reads zero.
f.cking simple, nothing to argue over or debate. It's fact.
Lay flat on you back in bed at home, the forcemeter reads positive in
the z-axis, 0 in the x- and y-axes (and they do, I've worked with them)
you are not accelerating up or down or you'd go through the roof or
floor. f.cking simple, nothing to argue over or debate. It's fact.
An inertial guidance system on a plane (and I've worked on them)
integrates (yes, analogue computers integrate) the signal from the
forcemeter divided by the calculated mass of the plane as fuel
is depleted to give the velocity, that is then integrated to give x,y and z,
the plane knows where it is relative to its start point.

It's not quite that simple, winds can affect the calculation and the pitot
tube
http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/pitot.html
is used also.
The lunar excursion command capsule hasn't got a f.cking clue
where it is using aircraft technology.  Today, of course, GPS is used,
but military planes are still equipped with INS because in the event
of a nuclear holocaust with the former USSR the western world
anticipates the GPS will be destroyed, Oz and Europe do not have
a backup GPS yet and Britain quit rocketry at Woomera a long time
ago, too expensive, our women need cosmetics to look good and tattoos
are in vogue yet again.

Ok, so the runway moves under the plane. That kinda f.cks up F= ma,
it takes a lot of force to accelerate the Earth. Actually force is relative
too,
we intuitively assume the Earth is at rest but it isn't. When a rocket
leaves Earth the Earth's orbit changes, but the change is too small
to measure.

Your guess is probably as good as anyone else's, but in general, the
acquisition of energy, kinetic or gravitational, causes things to slow
down (and also to increase in mass, although physicists currently think
that only applies to kinetic energy). Raise an object in a gravitational
field, it now has less gravitational energy, so it runs faster. You see
the same thing in an accelerating spaceship. Objects in the top are in a
region of lower energy, with slight less velocity than objects in the
bottom (the slow length contraction of the spaceship causes objects in
the top to have slightly less velocity than objects in the bottom).
Therefore, objects in the top run/live faster than objects in the bottom.

Why does the acquisition of kinetic energy cause objects to slow down?
Like I said, your guess is as good as anyone's, although I think Lorentz
actually had an explanation for this, causing him to correctly predict
that even the direct use of clocks to measure c would fail to measure
the Earth's absolute velocity.

Only during the initial compression process. After that, all parts of the ship

Nope. Here's a way to look at the situation that makes it easy to see
the answer. Take a spaceship that is descending toward observer A on a
planet at high speed. To make a landing, instead of crashing, the
spaceship begins to decelerate, at a rate that will cause it to stop at
the moment it lands just above A (who is safely just below the surface
where the spaceship will land). If the spaceship continues to operate
its engines -- to accelerate -- then it will "reverse course," and begin
to ascend. However, the acceleration is constant, so there is no
"initial compression" at the moment it (briefly) touched down. At that
moment, its length is, say, 1,000 m. When it reaches 0.6 c, its length
is about 800 m. Therefore, the top of the spaceship had a slight
"rearward" motion relative to the bottom as seen by A. This slight
rearward motion is WHY objects in the top of the spaceship have a faster
time-rate than objects in the bottom. In keeping with the equivalence
principle, we expect objects lower in a gravitational field to also have
a slower time-rate, which of course the various gravitational
experiments, especially Pound-Rebka, have proven is the case.

As a side note, the variation of velocity along the spaceship means that
when the bottom reaches 0.6c, the length is actually just over 800 m. If
the bottom stops accelerating at 0.6c, the rest of the spaceship will
soon "catch up," causing the rest of the spaceship to also move at 0.6c,
and the final length to be exactly 800 m.

Remember Henry, I'm not one of the rabid defenders of relativity. Just
the truth.

Yes they do, and I hope this allows you to see for yourself that this is
the case.

Well, the motion of particles in a circular track certainly proves that
the acquisition of kinetic energy is at least *correlated* with a drop
in time-rate. It was wrong of me to say that it *causes* the drop.

It was an attempt to provide a proof, as opposed to merely "saying" that
objects in a gravitational field have slower time-rates than objects
outside the field, to show *why* we believe that! It didn't work, for
reasons I don't yet understand, but ...

Atoms have masses in motion. The same coupling that pulls the
atom toward out planet, also serves as a path for the atom's parts
to exert little tugs attempting to pull the planet up. (So far, the
planet has won every one of these tugs of war.) :-)
Most of the coupling balances out due to the symetry of the
atomic structure and the use of the Cesium hyper-fine transition
offers a bit more isolation. Still...  that is a function of the mass
of the proton and electron.

I'm confused Henri. Lorentz concluded years before Einstein and
relativity that an object moving through the ether/medium of space
undergoes a length contraction. (he later explained this using the basic
facts of electron physics). I thought that you believed in Lorentz's
conclusions, but not Einstein's additions/reinterpretations of the same.
Since when did you stop believing that absolute velocity has no effect
on an object's length? My analysis above is quite consistent with
Lorentz's scientific conclusions concerniong length and also time-rate,
so objects in the bottom of an accelerating spaceship have a slower
time-rate according to Lorentz! Do you disagree with that? Now, to
conclude from this that objects deep in a gravitational field also have
a slower time-rate, you need to believe in Einstein's equivalence
principle, and there we may disagree. However, I am quite surprised to
hear that you *may* disagree with the concept of length contraction.
Maybe you just disagree with Einstein's version of it?

> As far as I'm concerned, you are talking plain nonsnese.

Okay, I'll bite once more. The usual explanation for the MM experiment's
null result is that the arm moving in the same direction as observer A
conducting the experiment, as seen by another inertial observer B,
undergoes length contraction, thereby making it possible for light,
which according to B is moving at a constant velocity c relative to B's
frame of reference, not A's, to take an equal time to traverse both
paths. The explanation certainly works, although any of the 6 various
explanations for the dinosaurs' demise also work, so the fact that
length contraction *explains* the MM null result does not, by itself,
prove that the effect actually exists. What do you think is the real
reason for the MM null result, if it's not length contraction?

Light speed is source dependent. That is, it moves at c wrt its source and
everything at rest wrt the source.

That "standard" ether line is not that easy to get rid of. How do
explain the fact that a vacuum has a characteristic impedance, which
antennas must be tuned to in order to transmit? Or its dielectric
constant, which stores the energy of a capacitor? Binary star systems do
NOT appear to speed up and slow down; surely you don't think that the
photons emmitted by the star "adjust" their speed to that of the
observer who will eventually see them. Light definitely travels at a
constant velocity, c, which is independent of the source, meaning that
light emmitted from the two stars, one moving toward us, the other away,
will reach us at the same time (although their frequencies will be
Doppler shifted). That's an observable FACT, which must apply to the MM
experiment, unless you think the laws of physics vary with location.

Oh well, why am I wasting my time? You appear to be as uninterested in
FACTS as are the relativists. I like people who think independently, and
don't just accept the standard line/lies, but you can't just make up
stuff! If you're going to move closer to the truth than today's
scientists, then you have to do what they sometimes do not do, namely
take reality and facts into consideration, and then apply top-notch
thinking to those facts, regardless of whether the conclusions agree
with your pet theories or not. Today's scientists (and nutballs) look
for "evidence to support their theories." That's stupid. What true
thinkers look for are those factors that can be used by mere humans to
PROVE what the answer actually is, regardless of what anyone currently
merely believes the answer is! That's true science, everything else is
bullshit. The stars in a binary star system do NOT appear to speed up
and slow down? Then light's velocity is independent of its source,
period, no debate, no possible argument, get the f.ck over it. Does that
mean the relativists are right? Nope. They claim so, but some of their
"conclusions" do not, logically speaking, follow from their premises.

If an experiment could be carried out to measure the impedance of completely
empty space, the answer would probably be 'infinity'.
The process of measuring renders that space 'NOT EMPTY'. ...of fields. What
fields are nobody knows but their presence certainly makes space that is
totally void of matter have certain properties. I would like to know the
difference between 'empty space with NO fields' and empty space WITH fields'...

You must be new to this group. Otherwise you would know that I have produced
many variable star brightness curves using c+v instead of c.

Are you trying to deliberately annoy me?
Only relativists believe that all starlight in the universe is adjusted so that
it travels to little planet Earth at prcisely c.

That is crap and is NOT an observable fact.
If you want to know why variable stars vary run my Vbasic simulation programs.
They show clearly how most star brightness curves are producable purely using
c+v as the star orbits another body.

See: www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/group1.jpg for some examples.

You can run my very comprehensive program:

www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/variables.exe 

if you want to produce your own curves.

>Oh well, why am I wasting my time? You appear to be as uninterested in
>FACTS as are the relativists.

You are obviously not aware of past conversations on this NG.
My H-aether theory broady explains what happens to starlight.
It starts out at c wrt its source......and that includes molecuar source
speeds.
Is it travels through space, its speed is modified due to a number of factors.
Consequently, the speed of all light traveling in any one direction tends to
becomoe unified.
Speed however, must be specified relative to something. In the case of
starlight there are only two relevant reference objects, the source and the
ultimate target. Its speed is initially c wrt its source but that figure might
be considerably different by the time it reaches its target. The speed relative
to the target can have values very different from c.

From studying variable star curves, I have good reason to believe that light
from orbiting binaries tends to become unified over quite short distances,
maybe 30 LYs....but this can vary widely, probably depending on what lies ion
the space through which that starlight travels.

My H-aether must not be confused with a general absolute EM frame of reference.
Light speed is not governed rigidly in my theory, as it does in your aether,
which you seem to believe exists...although I agree that the idea of a 'frame
of background stars' is not without merit. I also think that the whole universe
may be likened to a very low density, turbulent gas and that light experiences
small speed changes every time it traverses significant pockets of this
swirling 'material'. ..
By material I mean matter.....and fields...

You don't have the answers.
At least I have some....ie, I know that variable star brightness curves can be
produced solely on BaTh principles.

If you want to resolve the issue then get Nasa to perform my 'moon relay'
experiment, which is the only known practical way to compare OWLS from

You're up yourself, mate.

*Free space*   is the term normally used to describe the 377 ohms
we measure anywhere from air at sea level to the sparcest intersteller
medium of 1 atom per cubic centimeter.

What is measured is a property of the measuring apparatus.

The act of measuring changes the properties of space.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention to my messages.
Haven't you heard of the Wilson Densty Threshold, below which light behaves
100% ballistically?

Light entering pockets of space above that, will have its speed varied
accordingly...but usually by only very small amounts.

..and 'density' doesn't just refer to matter.

Below the W.D.T. light has to rely on its own 'fields' for self-propagation.

How do you know if differently moving apparatus get the same 377 ohms?

According to normal extinction rules.
Deep space isn't like that.

Have a look at them for yourself.

Most variable star curves match BaTh predictions exactly.

Cepheids, 'eclipsing binaries', 'flare stars', Miras and even gravitational
lensing are just a result of light leaving an orbiting source at c and
traveling to Earth at c+v for at least part of its journey.,

That's OK. No worries at all.
Light travels like a wave in a medium.
It travels ballistically in empty space.

about a distant binary in not evidence )

Pockets of space ?  I didn't even realise space had
things to carry and assumed it would have no use for
pockets.

Why doesn't it just reflect back to the source like all other
EM discontinuities that we observe ?

I don't know, but synchroton radiation probably offers a clue
because the radiation pattern is directed forward.
If your notions involve matter moving at near luminal
speeds wrt local matter it is something you might
want to look into. ;-)

Do we have the Henri Wilson equations as a replacement for
Maxwell's equations so that we might understand how this
strange 'pocketed'  space behaves?

If you could show that part of the journey is in a dielectric clould
swept along by the emitter then the Ewald extinction is not
violated.  That is not a case for particle or ballistic propagation
of light and it may be quite a tall order for the emitters to trap
and move such a large volume of gas.

If the emitters were moving a tail of gas, like a comet, in
and out of the light path that might account for a slowed
path for part of the cycle.

Certainly ONE binary wouldn't be rtegared as sound evidence BUT WHEN HUNDREDS
OF VARIABLE STAR BRIGHTNESS CURVES MATCH THE BATH PREDICTIONS THEN I THINK WE
MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE, DON'T YOU?

After all, until very recently, variable stars have been the only practical
source of c+v light.

But that's probably too hard for a mere female...

Consider what happens when a single photon is emitted by the only atom in a
vast region of space. Do you think it obeys the inverse square law?

I doubt if you have any theory that explains why IR and RF appear to be
