On the contrary. Twisting would occur anyway. The 'arrows' still have to be aimed to one side of the target.

IIRC, Roberts > once reckoned that the extinction distance in air was around 3cms. You miscite Roberts. At optical frequencies, Tom stated that the extinction distance in air is about a millimeter. http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/7536538a3965b8da According to classical theory, extinction distance = lambda/(n-1) Plugging in numbers, 5e-4/(1.0003-1) = 1.6 mm for 500 nm light in air, in rough agreement with Robert's statement. Since when do you believe in classical extinction calculations? If you did, then you would be forced to agree that an experiment such as Beckmann and Mandics (1965), conducted in a vacuum of 1e-6 Torr, had a long enough extinction distance (nearly 200 km) such that c+v effects, if present, should have been detected. http://mysite.verizon.net/cephalobus_alienus/papers/Beckmann_Mandics_1965.pdf No, Henri. For you, extinction/unification is a magical fairy parameter that you vary freely to suit your needs. When you need it to be short, it is short. When you need to be long, it is long. For variable stars, "The extinction distance is directly proportional to period. The 0.0007 value is for a period of 0.0042 years. It becomes 0.007 for 0.042 years, 0.07 for 0.042 years..etc." http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/d032fc3a07d85476 When theory insists that the extinction distance must be short, you insist that it must be long. When theory insists it must be long, you insist that it must be short. Millions of kilometers beneath the surface of a variable star, the extinction distance must be short. But you insist that this distance must be very long, otherwise you cannot explain the difference in phasing and variability between V-band and K-band emissions. When theory insists that the extinction distance is long, you insist that it must be very short. Otherwise experiments such as Beckmann and Mandics (1965), Filipas and Fox (1964), Babcock and Bergman (1964), Alvager (1964), and the observations of Brecher (1977) should long ago have convinced you that BaTh is a dead theory. http://mysite.verizon.net/cephalobus_alienus/papers/Beckmann_Mandics_1965.pdf http://mysite.verizon.net/cephalobus_alienus/papers/Filippas_Fox_1964.pdf http://mysite.verizon.net/cephalobus_alienus/papers/Babcock_Bergman_1964.pdf http://mysite.verizon.net/cephalobus_alienus/papers/Alvager_et_al_1964.pdf http://mysite.verizon.net/cephalobus_alienus/papers/Brecher_1977.pdf Go ahead and believe in your fairies, Henri.

If you have good look, you will soon realise that the standard Sagnac analysis has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with SR. For one thing, it shows the rays moving at c+/-v wrt the source. For another, it assumes some kind of absolutely nonrotating frame. In fact, the standard explanatin is completely wrong. >> Don't deny it Paul.

But you dont need to model it at c in all frames.All observations of light can be explained by light travelling at c in the source frame only. Sean

"some kind of absolutely nonrotating frame" :-) Henri, what do you think the rotation detected by a Sagnac ring is relative to? >>> Don't deny it Paul. It is plainly obvious. >> Of course I won't deny that, it is plainly obvious. >> It is the very reason why SR predicts fringe shifts as observed. >> >> According to the emission theory - to use your awkward wording - >> in the inertial frame, the two rays move at c wrt the source. >> The consequence is of course that no fringe shifts are predicted. > > To the untrained eye, that would appear correct. > > On closer examination by the better informed, it is immediately clear that the > assumptions made are not justified and are incorrect. Quite. To the trained eye, it is immediately clear that the fringes shift because the photons get dizzy when the ring rotates relative to - eh - what? (we cannot assume some kind of absolutely nonrotating frame, can we?) > >> Don't deny it Henri. It is plainly obvious. > > It is indeed obvious that Sagnac makes a mockery of SR's second postulate. Of course it is clear to Henri Wilson that since the Sagnac experiment prove the speed of light to be c in the inertial frame, then it falsifies the second postulate which says that the speed of light is c in an inertial frame. That is after all Henri Wilson's way of thinking, isn't it? >>> SR proves its own postulate wrong. >> Come again? :-) >> SR predicts the speed of light is c in the inertial frame, >> Sagnac demonstrates that this is correct. > > Which inertial frame might that be.

Beautiful, Henri. :-) Thanks for the demonstration yet again. :-) The Sagnac ring works fine in an aeroplane at high speed which show that the light picks the plane-frame as reference. Don't you think that this prove that the speed of light relative to the Earth is different from c? :-) >> Can you please explain why this prove that the speed of light >> is different from c in the inertial frame? :-) No answer, Henri? Can you please explain why the Sagnac experiment prove the speed of light to be different from c in an inertial frame? Paul |
