It is an adhoc invention ADDED to BaT.

That is your adhoc invention, it is not integral to BaT.

It is contrary to observation. While it is true that moving charges create
a magnetic field, there is no reverse electric field detected.

It is NOT very basic. It has never been observed. In fact, there would be
no superconductors if there were such a reverse electric field.

You have created an adhoc rationalization to prop up a dying BaT.

You will need to continue to add other adhoc rationalizations to get around
other uncomforatable facts.

'Closing speeds', not actual velocities.

closing speeds exceeding c wrt some objects in the universe are quite

Why do you keep assuming the composition of velocities formula is
either a postulate or valid for an observer having a coordinate
velocity of c?

*snaps fingers*, NOW I REMEMBER! You don't understand SR! By god it all
makes sense now.

No, they would not.
If you enter the real data of Algol into your program,
the light curve predicted by the BaT will be quite different
from what is observed, even if you assume it is eclipsing.

Are you fleeing Algol? :-)

Because they are intrinsic variables.

But don't divert the attension from the issue.
We are still discussing Algol.

You have forgotten it before, and I have reminded
you before. But I can remind you again so you can
forget it again:

The question is:
Why is the light curve of Algol different in 10um IR
and in visible light?

The explanation according to conventional theory is:

We have two stars.
Algol A: temperature Ta = 12000K, radius Ra = 2.88 solar radii
Algol B: temperature Tb = 4880K, radius Rb = 3.54 solar radii

Their relative brightness at the wavelength lambda will be:
Ba/Bb = (Ra/Rb)^2* W(lambda,Ta)/W(lambda,Tb)

where W(lambda,T) is Planck's radiation law.
Now we have:
(Ra/Rb)^2 = 0.66
W(lambda,Ta)/W(lambda,Tb) =
(exp(C/(lambda*Tb))-1)/(exp(C/(lambda*Ta))-1)
where C = 0.00144 m degree

VISIBLE:
-------
In the visible spectrum lambda = 0.5 um.
W(0,5um,Ta)/W(0,5um,Tb) = 40

So their relative visual brightness will be:
Ba/Bb = 26.
That is A is 26 times brigter than B.
The binary is 27 times brighter than B.

If we assume that the eclipses are 100%,
we get the following brightnesses (B as unit):
No eclipse = 27
B eclipses A: 1 (primary)
A eclipses B: 26 (secondary)

The deepness of the minima in magnitudes will be:
Primary: 2.5*log(27) = 3.58 magnitudes
Secondary: 2.5*log(27/26) = 0.04 magnitudes.

We see that the deepness of the primary minimum fits
quite well with what is observed.
But the secondary minimum is hardly observable at all
in the visible spectrum!

So don't we see the secondary minimum, then?

IR:
---
Let us calculate what the deepness of the minima would
be in the infra-red, lambda = 10um.
We use the same method as above:

Ba/Bb = (Ra/Rb)2* W(10um,Ta)/W(10um,Tb) = 1.8

No eclipse = 2.8
B eclipses A: 1 (primary)
A eclipses B: 1.8 (secondary)

The deepness of the minima in magnitudes will be:
Primary: 2.5*log(2.8) = 1.12 magnitudes
Secondary: 2.5*log(2.8/1.8) = 0.48 magnitudes.

Observation of the secondary minimum at 10um can be found in;

http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?1978MNRAS.184..523N&amp;data_type=PDF_HIGH&amp;type=PRINTER&amp;filetype=.pdf
or:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1978MNRAS.184..523N&amp;
And retrieve the full article.

The observed deepness of the secondary minimum is ca. 0.35.
A little less deep than what I calculated it should be.
However, since B is larger than A, the eclipse will not be 100%,
and the minimum _should_ be less deep.

>>The BaT cannot explain that.
>>Yet another falsification of the BaT.
>
> rubbish.

No, that's not rubish.
Convensional theory predicts that the light curves in visible
and in IR should be exactly as they are observed to be.
That is a confirmation of the theory.

BaT predicts that the light curves should be the same.
That's a falsification of BaT.
