[unquote] Henri, whenever you run out of logical arguments, you resort to calling people 'imbecile' or 'idiot'. I strongly suggest that you avoid such language and ad hominem attacks as they just make you look worse. You will notice that in my analogy, the speed of light per se is not involved. Since we are dealing with a car moving at 60 mph and a marker on top of a mountain and a telephone pole that are not moving at, so there should be no 'willusoin'[sic] involved, at all. There is only the willusion that Willson understands what he is talking about to be dispersed. There was one 'mistook' deliberately built into my illustration that you have repeatedly missed. The measured speed of the telephone pole (60 mph) as seen from the iFoR of the car is NOT in the direction of the mountain marker. Trig would have told you that the pole could only move .025 miles wrt the mountain in that minute, so, at best, I can only assume that the pole will be 1.5 miles further away from the mountain, in one hour, not the 60 miles that I claimed. >>> No Bob. >>> To avoid willusory effects you must not rely on your eyes. >>> You use a line of synched clocks to perfom the time measurments.

The pole's velocity wrt the mountain and the mountain wrt the pole is a constant (value zero MPH when the math is done properly) as calculated from all frames. The light's velocity wrt the star and the light's wrt the earth is a constant (value c when the math is done properly) as calculated from all frames. In both cases, the 'closing velocity' leads to wrong results. -- bz please pardon my infinite ignorance, the set-of-things-I-do-not-know is an infinite set. bz+spr(a)ch100-5.chem.lsu.edu remove ch100-5 to avoid spam trap

Maybe what you want to talk about is Ritz. But Im not and never have. Thats your disinformation at work as usual. Ritz was just another failed theorist like Lorentz or Einstein so why should I promote his failed concept of light being a particle? Like SR it doesnt explain MMx or sagnac. What Im talking about is a model of light that is based on all the classical *wavelike * observations of light... thats wave...not a particle!

What Ritz suggested was that light left the > source at c but after Newton's First Law applied, the Your obvious interpretation of a flawed theory like Ritzs maybe. But Im not suggesting that light should have particle like properties arent I? Why dont you try reading my posts for a change. How many times have I said that all the observations of light point to it being wave like and as having a propoagation speed always at c relative to the source? I never said its particle like . None of the evidence points to it having mass or particle like properties.

Im not abandoning Newtons first law. Newtons first law applies to mass or particles. Since when did I say that light had to be a particle? I would only be abandoning newtons first law if I claimed light was a particle and travelled at c relative to its source What Im saying is that light is a wave and travels at c relative to its source. I wonder what it is you dont understand. Do you think that a wave is a particle? So when a wave crashes on to a shoreline you must think each little water molecule travelled on its own across the ocean to reach you? This definitely isnt the case. > Henry understands Ritz's basic theory, although he > has some trouble with the concept of a 'frame' so > I'll leave it to him to try to explain how light > moves thereafter, you and he should be on the same > side so he should have more successs than I could. Just because henri doesnt like SR doesnt mean we argue the same `side`. In fact he is closer to you than me. Like you, he argues the fantasy that isnt supported by observation that light is a photon. Note I always have argued the exact opposite.. I say light is not a particle or photon but a wave only . Theres a crucial difference between particles and waves you dont understand. Or at least you dont understand the crucial difference between the non particulate medium that light travels through and other particulate mediums like water that also exhibit waves. Look at MMx . What did it tell us? It told us that the aether or vacuum medium allows the passage of light but does not seem to impede the speed of it . This means that it is not a particulate medium. The vacuum seems to not have mass. The other thing the experiment tells us is that light also does not have its speed impeded by the presence and distribution of other mass. Or at least the effect of other mass through gravity. How could it ?** MMx would not give a null result if emr obeyed the same properties as other particles. Therefore emr must not be particulate. And seeing as it does appear to exhibit wave like properties and doesnt seem to exhibit particle like properties.. Its not unreasonable to assume light is not a particle, but rather a wave isnt it? And seeing as this apparent wave like phenomena seems to also be observed to always travel at c only relative to a source(MMX) then why should it be unreasonable to thus assume that light is a wave that always travels at c relative to its source only? Thats what the observations tell us. SR makes up the need of light to travel at c in other frames but not the source??? This is ridiculous and ignores all the observations. ALL the observations tell us it only travels at c relative to the source, not at c in other frames. (**Although as we do know mass does effect the speed of light depending on the density of the medium. But I dont think that you could argue that the diferent speeds of light in different mediums was due to light observing Newtons first law.)
