That sounds exactly like my understanding of "length contraction" .. informally that the proper length is unvaried, but the object rotates in space-time.

I havent seen this latest version of yours george , but if its like your other version from a few months ago then your pic has light travelling away from the moving source in straight lines relative to the source. And contrary to the false assumption you try to pretend here that light in fact isnt observed to travel at c in straight lines from any source ,...the results of MMx in fact show us that light does in fact propagate away from any source at c in straight lines. So your above illustration is in fact substantiated by observation Unlike Srs prediction which claims that light doesnt progate away from a source at c . MMx refutes SR and supports classical. And If you thought about it my understanding of classical emmision theory is the only one. Think about it. Doesnt classical theory stipulate that light propagates away from any source in straight lines at c relative to the source?? Surely you cant deny this well accepted tenet. If this is true then if the source moves relative to another object/observor then light would *have to* appear to be dragged by the source from the independent observors pov. Otherwise,...in any frame other than the sources frame ,..If light left the source and then moved away in a path INDEPENDENT of the sources motion,.. then in the source frame, the light wouldnt be moving away from the source at c in straight lines wouldnt it? So what you call my `unusual` understanding of classical is in fact the only possible understanding of a clasical model. If you dont agree then show me where any model of classical emmision theory stipulates that light travels away from a source at variable speeds and in curved paths as you would incorrectly have us believe classical theory predicts. The fact is that you have no proof that your above illustration of classical is incorrect. If you think you have,.. then cite the observations that prove that light does not travel away from any source at c in straight lines. You cant as this proof you imagine does not exist.

It does in SR. > So what you call my `unusual` understanding of classical > is in fact the only possible understanding of a clasical model. Classical model says the speed of light is not always c .. it is observer / source dependant > If you dont agree then show me where any model of classical > emmision theory stipulates that light travels away from a source > at variable speeds The point is .. different observers will see it as having different speeds to c in classical models. We dont' have evidence of light travelling at less or more than c. > and in curved paths as you would incorrectly > have us believe classical theory predicts. > The fact is that you have no proof that your above illustration > of classical is incorrect. If you think you have,.. then cite > the observations that prove that light does not travel away from > any source at c in straight lines. That is not the point of contention .. it is the speed observers moving relative to the source will measure the light as travelling at.

Both explain the > MMx results. Jecky Jeckyl Jeckyl you should always add something here. Michelson- Morley experiment is consistent with special relativity only in the presence of miracles - time dilation, length contraction etc. However if those miracles are too idiotic, then the Michelson-Morley experiment refutes special relativity and proves the validity of the emission theory. But you do not know whether the miracles are too idiotic because Master Tom Roberts explains nothing? Then I am telling you they ARE too idiotic and Master Tom Roberts will confirm this sooner or later: http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.physics.relativity/browse_frm/thread/f01724e78e78dde0?
