Not so, Papa. Even Einstein realized that the velocity of signal
transmission is NOT the same in any inertially moving systems.
In order to obey the principle of relativity, he had to change the
definition of "synchronous clocks". Instead of meaning "clocks that
have identical settings" it became "clocks set to measure the speed of
light as constant in any and all directions". That ignored the fact
that he KNEW that the average two-way speed of light-signals is
different in X' compared to Y' and Z' and that the one-way speed in
the x' direction is different than it is in the -x' direction, and
that both are different from that in the y' or z' directions, where X'
is the direction of motion of system X', Y', Z' in the "empty space"
in which he postulated that c is a constant.

I hope and believe that sooner or later taxpayers will note this evil
and disastrous fraud of relativity, which has lasted far too long. And
I further hope and believe that the young and uncorrupted minds
(13+ kids) will understand, take up and develop sound engineering
based upon my new physics.

But have you heard of the Doppler effect for sound?  One minute of
googling gave at: ...
If you go through the site, you will find that the changes in
frequency (when a source is coming to you it has high frequency, when
it goes past you it has lower frequency) is caused by an effective
shortening in its wavelength.  That is shown by v+v1 and v-v1, or
changes to the speed of sound.  I do not agree with the analysis
there, so:
Let us go through the first principles.
frequency = velocity/wavelength
Let the velocity of sound (assuming that it increases with the speed
of emitter) be V+VS
When the emitter is coming at you, then, the sound velocity from the
emitter is V+VS.  When it is going away, it is V - VS.
Then the frequency you hear when the sound is coming to you is
frequency_C = (V + VS)/wavelength = frequency + VS/wavelength -
{??}
thus, a higher frequency is now heard.
When the sound is going away from you, its speed towards you is less
and so
frequency_G = (V - VS)/wavelength = frequency - VS/wavelength -
{??}
thus, a lower frequency is now heard.
So what is the effective lengthening or shortening of the wavelength?
This is a concept which is valid only when we take the implicit and
tortuous position that the speed of sound is unchanged, and remains
invariant with the speed of the transmitter.
{??}
 Like what the einsteinians are saying about light - nothing can
exceed the speed of light!  In the days before faster than sound
travel, they were howling that dire consequences would happen if the
sound barrier would be exceeded.  Simply because they were positing
that wavelength actually decreases (it does not, it only effectively
decreases as the sound is now rushing by the sink faster).   So the
formula you can see in the site f" = f * v/(v - v") raised many
questions - at v = v" the frequency would be infiinite, things would
shatter, etc. {How is f" infinite if f * v/(v - v") = f * v/0?}
 That was the sound barrier, now comprehensively broken, every day!
 As the einsteinian light barrier will be, in 20 years. {??}
However, with the formulas you can see above, there is no question
whatsoever about the so-called and phony sound barrier.
In modern text books, the ruling einsteinians go all out to prove
invariance of not just light but also sound {??}, so for sound there
is
trickery involved in making it appear that the speed of sound is
invariant with the source {??} {??} , even though their formulas
have to indicate otherwise!
Yes, the Doppler effect was confusing to my daughter when she did
first year physics, so I explained it easily this way.  Then advised
her
to forget it, and write what was expected, if she wanted to pass.
However, all this is irrelevant to my main points, which I repeat
once
again:
1. The Earth is moving
2. All distances traveled by light are greater or less than the
measured distance, because the Earth is moving {??} - a Nobel Prize
winning point!
3. Because the times involved for travel are the same in all
directions {AS MEASURED by ESYNCHED systems!!!}, the speed of light
*has* to vary with the direction of its travel.  Or in other words,
the speed of light is NOT invariant.
4. Because the fxixrxst {second} postulate of SR is the invariance of
the speed of light, when experiment proves that it actually is not
invariant {??}, the whole structure of relativity and its consequent
predictions (enormous masses and zero length at light speeds) crumble
to dust. {??}  With very very very positive consequences for humanity
and also other life forms and objects on Earth (given sound and good
political will and direction) {??}.
Once this rubbish {:-} is removed, we can proceed to the new physics
and its underlying technology following the simple and intuitive and
correct relationship between mass and energy, that I derived from
first principles ten years ago.  Which has been proven by experiment -
the lack of reaction in a rail gun. {??} >

My understanding is that, provided I am not moving and despite a
change  in frequency, a toot from a train traveling towards or away
from me will arrive at my ear in the same time as does a toot from a
stationary train. {If train 1 is a mile away and train 2 next to
you, how can that be right?} This is easily checked and, when when
proved correct (as I believe), clearly demonstrates that the speed of
sound in air is constant as described by:-
  V(sound) = frequency(up or down) X wavelength(down or up {??}).
The propagation of sound from a train is by sequential compression of
the air medium. Consider also the propagation of a ripple through a
water medium.  Could you explain in terms of your new physics how
light is propagated through space (medium?). That is a lesson I will
find most informative! >

>< In a previous post, Arandim  claimed that –“ by definition ether is a
solid and all parts of this ether always bear a constant spatial
relationship with each other, this being the fundamental
characteristic
of a solid.  So, the ether is the absolute reference, as it is
unmoving”.
It matters little whether aether (as a biochemist I prefer this
spelling; ether tends to cloud the mind) is a solid, liquid or gas.
The important issue is that he defines aether as a medium for the
propagation of photon waves or particles. {??|

A wave needs a medium, but a particle doesn't. That was WHY
Einstein said that a photon is a particle. He needed light to be an
ensemble of particles in order to let them transmit through the "empty
space" of his 2nd postulate.

>< This implies that the aether medium is ‘disturbed’ by light in such a manner that the ‘light’ disturbance is transmitted through the medium, without net movement of the medium in the direction of the transmission, until it is “observed’ by a sensitive recipient (eye/nervous tissue complex).
This seems to be analogous to the mechanisms by which  sound is
transmitted in  air (or other media) or ripples transmitted in
liquids. I need to be  assured that a very short blast of sound (eg a
train toot) emitted by a source moving away will be heard
significantly later than the same sound emitted by the same source
moving towards one. I believe  this is not so.  Only if such a delay
is established  is it relevant to discuss Arandim's claim that the
maximum speed of light in a vacuum is dependent on the motion of its
source, His claim that a disturbance of an aether medium propagates
light seems to favor that, like sound, the speed of propagation is
dependent  only on the nature of whatever, if any, is the medium. >

The trouble with you, Zinnac, is that you are a biochemist.
Therefore you think in terms of real things rather than in terms of
the non-existing things imagined by physicists, such as points and
lines and dimensions and infinitely-extending co-ordinate systems etc.
Also, unlike most physicists, you insist on knowing the meaning of the
words people use.

AB: None so blind as those who won't see. I believe I have made my
points as clearly as my hero Sir Isaac Newton would have desired me
to. I don't hold myself responsible for the obtuseness of my
readers. Still, thanks for playing along. So much better than the
usual churls. Let me see what I can do.

Most of
> us conversant with the Doppler effect in sound transmissionan do not
> need your lesson in high school physics.

AB: Let us see, someone was talking about 13 year olds right? So I
took you to be as one, as you wanted me to (see below). I have after
all given a very new analysis of it, which you do not acknowledge.
Nothing new here, of course. I don't want to sound furious :)

Why have you ignored my
> question re the relationships between photons and space in your new
> physics?

AB: What was the question once again? To quote you, upon which I gave
my answer:

** begin quote:
The speed of propagation of sound (S) in a medium is independent of
the velocity (V) of the sound emittor. It is not (S + V) nor is it (S
- V), it remains at S. Now explain to a 13 + kid (and me) the
properties of the massless photon and space vacuum in your "new
physics" that ensure the propagation of light through space is
dependent on the velocity of the light emittor.
Zinnic
** end quote

I believe my above reply was focussed upon the Doppler aspects, and it
had everything to do with my basic point relating to the fact that the
speed of light is *not* invariant. Just as the speed of sound is
*not* invariant, it varies with the speed of the emitter. As to a
photon, that is nothing but a brief em wave resulting from the
transient creation via collison processes of an electric dipole of
atomic dimensions, and this point I had said long ago in this thread
(or maybe elsewhere). I think I need to give a good insightful and
clear lecture about the basic nature of wave motion, of the sort not
given before, to explain the whole thing nicely. Hmm, that will take
some time, and I have other matters to deal with. If asked to lecture
somewhere, in some physics department say, I will take the time to
make this point more clear. Thank you for rasing it.

Your understanding is wrong - or at least, I won't accept it unless it
is proven *by experiment* to *my* satisfaction. Since the velocity of
sound changes with the direction of the emitter, the time it will take
to reach you if the object is moving towards you will be lesser than
the time it will take to reach you if the object is moving away from
you.

> This is easily checked and, when when proved correct (as I believe),

believe believe believe.. we are talking science are we not? In
science there is no belief like there is in religion. There is
experiment, and knowledge following from experiment. Yes we can
bungle in our experiments (most famously, the MMI experiment) and its
analysis, repeat the same mistake all over again for generations and
as a result completely screw up that particular discipline.
Nevertheless, with research (seeing again with fresher, newer outlook)
we can correct mistakes. So if it can be easily checked out, let us
do so by all means. From my experience with aircraft flying over our
heads during radar trials, I have had my full of such sound theory!
Why did we not hear them as they were coming till very late, and why
did we hear so much of them when they had passed over our heads? Let
us do some maths, and suppose they were flying at half the speed of
sound:

At distance S away (and coming to us) the time ot reach us will be
space/distance or s/(v+.5v) = 0.67s/v
At distance S away (and going away from us) the time for sound to
reach us will be s/(v - .5v) = 2s/v

What is the relevance of these two different values? When the time is
small, it means that the sound reaches us so fast, it does not persist
in our ears. So we hear a brief high-pitched whine when the plane
approaches. However, when it leaves us, we hear a low frequencey
drone for a much longer time.

Now take the case of a sonic fighter, where v = velocity of sound.
The corresponding figures above will be zero and infinity which means
effectively that we will never hear it coming, but after it has gone
the sound will ring in our ears for ever! Or at least, till the
amplitude dies down with the distance...

Now are my formulas and explanations intuitive or not? Do they
conform to everyone's experience with planes or not?

By all means we should conduct an experiment to prove this point once
and for all. I think it can be easily done, with sonar and radar
working together. We got to talk nicely to defence people!

That is right as far as it goes. Why the Doppler effect then?
Wavelength gets only *apparently* shortened when the source moves, as
it (the sound wave motion) rushes past faster on the source. It does
not get actually shortened. The frequency on the other hand is
dependent upon this *apparent* shortening, so we get to hear the
actual change of the frequencies. Profoundly philsophical, this
point!

I am sure it would be. But at some stage, I need to get more than
casual attention in Usenet. I need some decent and honest scientists
to have the guts to ask me to speak to them about my new findings in a
series of lectures. When that sort of response is not forthcoming,
should I be pilloried for being merely reticent?

> Regards
> Zinnic.-

Lots of regards to you. Indeed I have completed my book "The
Principles of Motion" and much more than what you ask I have put in
that book, which continues in spirit the work of my hero Sir Isaac
Newton. Mainly it deals with the consequences of a new mathematical
formula I happily discovered, that correctly relates mass and energy.
I have explained everything, from the lighting of a match to the
energy from the sun, using that one formula. Maybe, one day, when the
scientific world regains its honesty and wits and courage, I may
publish it. In the meantime, I will work on other more important
things - such as metaphysics!

Cheers,
Arindam Banerjee

Mate, it is Arindam, not Arandim. If you cannot get this simple point

Yes, such is so by definition.

Well okay. Call it aum if you like. I would personally prefer to
call aether or ether as aum - that which contains all sounds and
vibrations.

ether tends to cloud the mind) as a solid, liquid or gas.

Photons are brief electro-magnetic pulses caused by the formatioin
through collison processes of transient electric dipoles of atomic
dimensions. Their frequency is proportional to the physical
dimensions of the dipoles.

Great, just right. Or some receiver which intercepts, and then
absorbs, refracts or reflects. Please understand, that everything
around us that is hot - all matter that is that moves - is always
radiating... It is a most fundamental process!

Well, if you have participated in as many radar trials as I have,
where we had to track the planes coming at us, and then going away,
you may have believed otherwise. But then, there are very few chaps
around who have taken part in radar trials! See my earlier post on
this thread.

What I have shown is that there was an enormous bungle in the
experimental analysis of the Michelson Morley Interferometry
experiment. (Not as important as your bungling about the spelling of
my name, how you managed Arandim is beyond me) However that
experiment was performed regularly for generations, with
thoroughness. However they forgot that the Earth was moving, hence
the wrong conclusion about the constancy of the speed of light - the
hallowed first postulate of SR. If we agree that the Earth moves
around the Sun, then the whole thing only shows that the speed of
light is in fact dependent upon the speed of the emitter of light.
And the whole structure of "modern physics" crashes like a house of
cards.

This bungle has to be discussed on its own merits - it is not related
to any other criteria. It is not even dependent upon the existence of
ether. It is dependent upon the movement of the Earth - that it is
not fixed in ether or space, for it is moving all the while in orbit
around the Sun.

Yes, the nature of the medium affects the propagation in many ways.
Like, light travels slowly in a dense medium like glass, or water.
Causing refraction effects, thus. I have also said that the speed of
light depends upon the speed of the emitter of light.

Again, an insightful lecture into wave motion, travelling wave,
etc.from my side will help a lot. Wave motion is so very
fundamental!

Nonsese .. that's exactly what the experiment was designed to tested. You
don't have to 'remember' it .. the test tests for it .. The movement of the
earth wasn't 'forgotten', it was experimentally shown not to have the
'expected' impact on the results that aether theories predict

Hence you have no idea what you're talking about

No .. MMX (and similar subsequent and more accurate experiments) shows it is
NOT dependent

No .. your argument does, because you start with an incorrect premise

Exactly what the experiments *would* have detected .. but did *not* detect
because that motion make no difference to the speed of light
