Paul, there is a small problem with this standard argument against BaTh. It cannot be assumed that light reflects from a moving mirror at both the incident angle and incoming relative velocity. My 'photon axis twist' theory explains what really happens in Sagnac. The front and back 'ends' of each photon hit the mirror at different points, causing both a reflection angle that is NOT equal to the incident one and an effective path length difference in the two rays. >Paul www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/index.htm The difference between a preacher and a used car salesman is that the latter at least has a product to sell.

Henri, if you haven't noticed, your program is your only definitive expression of your theory. All else is handwaving. Extinction distance and period are indeed tightly coupled in your program/theory for no known reason other than that is what you need in order to make your curve fits work. > So are distance and velocity. > If both the period and distance are multipied by the same > factor, the same curve results. Exactly. A short period REQUIRES a short extinction distance, otherwise multiple images result. A long period REQUIRES a long extinction distance, otherwise you can't match the curves. If you will look once more at your earlier post, you -delighted- in pointing out this fact to George, as if it were some sort of wonderful discovery of yours, and you challenged George to come up with an explanation. "Well I can telll you one thing. 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....always independent of peripheral velocity. How can you explain THAT?" http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/d032fc3a07d85476 Far from being a wonderful discovery, this relationship is merely one of -many- Achilles' Heels that your theory suffers from. What conceivable physical mechanism do you propose to explain this strong coupling between period and extinction distance?

Sorry Crank, it is a plain mathematical fact. You might resort to deviousness and lies but I don't have to. >> So are distance and velocity. > >> If both the period and distance are multipied by the same >> factor, the same curve results. > >Exactly. A short period REQUIRES a short extinction distance, >otherwise multiple images result. A long period REQUIRES a long >extinction distance, otherwise you can't match the curves. I will try to explain Crank. Say I produce a certain brightness curve with a magnitude change of 1, using maximum velocity 0.0001c, a distance 120LY and a period 0.4 years. Doubling the distance or velocity or halving the period will produce the same result... an increase in magnitude change to about 4. There seems to be a problem here because it suggests that extinction distance must vary with period. This is explained below. The process of extinction (light speed unification) occurs in two separate stages, which we will call 'local' and 'cosmic'. Around every mass, there exists an 'EM control sphere' that in some way affects the speed of EM in its region. This should not be likened to a gaseous atmosphere although that might make up part of it. There are probably many factors involved, eg., gravity fields and things we currently know nothing about. Local extinction is much stronger than cosmic. As roughly shown in my demo http://www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/emspheres.exe the local sphere around a star will move with that star if the star's orbit or pulsation period is sufficiently long. All light emitted by that star will end up traveling at about c relative to the sphere, which is itself experiencing similar orbiting or pulsating. For shorter orbit periods, the sphere's movement lags that of the star and is reduced in size. A very small period or the presence of a close companion will cause the movement of the sphere (or common spheres) to almost cease. All light leaving the vicinity will move at c plus the proper speed of the star or barycentre. A separate process causes the wavelength of accelerated light to change according to the normal doppler equation...so light emerging from a steady sphere will STILL contain the VDoppler shifts of its sources. Hence, for contact binaries, fast cepheids and probably pulsars, the observed spectral shift DO contain fairly true information about radial source speeds and thermal line broadening. For longer period cepheids, ADoppler will prevail. A distant observer will see similar brightness and velocity curves. The latter may lag in phase due to both the physical movement of the sphere and a small VDoppler contribution. The velocity variation will be considerably less than that of the luminosity due to my 'K' factor.
