A constant speed of light in all reference frames? Surely you can't be serious.

From: Peter Webb on 15 Feb 2010 00:18 As I have said at least three times now, you cannot determine the speed of the aether. ____________________________________ You said light moves at a constant velocity relative to the ether. So why can't you measure the speed of light, see how much it differs from c, and the difference is your speed relative to the ether? Why doesn't that procedure determine the speed of the ether?

How do you measure your speed relative to the ether? As I have said at least four times now, you can't measure the speed of the aether. If you can't measure the speed of the aether you can't measure your speed relative to the aether. Do you want to ask this same question again so I can answer it for a fifth time?

How do you measure the speed of light and how do you determine it is different from 'c'? Are you using a mirror or synchronized clocks? What you are incapable of understanding is everything is under the effects of the aether. As I said in one of my original posts which it would help you understand the point I am making. The atomic clocks the Observers on the train are using are offset because of their state with respect to the aether. So, I will ask you again. How is the light to be measured?

The aether which is the reason for the observed behaviors in every double slit experiment ever performed. A C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). Detectors are placed at the exits to the slits while the C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). Every time the C-60 molecule exits the slit(s) it is detected exiting a single slit. When the detectors are placed and removed from the exits to the slits the C-60 molecule is able to create an interference pattern. How is this possible without the C-60 molecule having an associated aether displacement wave? |
