I can't do that because it is a factor that doesn't come out of the physics, it is an ad hoc extra you have decided to add so only you can say where it goes. What you _should_ do is define it physically and then derive the modified equation from that definition, but you haven't got the maths ability to do that so try plucking an equation out of the air.

I have repeatedly - add a curve showing the predicted observed velocity instead of your bodge of using the true velocity with arrival time distortion, it is only half the story and doesn't correspond to either the true or observed values. Add in a true distance curve which will be equivalent to the radius curve for a Cepheid, and most importantly add scales to all your graphs. > >> >> George, you do it your way.

Yep, but since we know the shift is only 0.01% and the filters are orders of magnitude wider, it affects the temperature determination by at most a few degrees in ~6000K, it is negligible in practice so the temperature values remain valid. > >> >In fact the only effect we found at all was in the > >> >Shapiro effect and that confirms GR and falsifies > >> >ballistic theory so tough luck, "BaTh loses again" > >> >to use your phrase. > >> > >> I have provided a perfectly sound theory to explain the Shapiro delay in BaTh. > > > >No you haven't you waved your hands and got it wrong. > >Radiation pressure doesn't affect light and for a > >spacecraft on the far side of Jupiter, it would act in the > >wrong direction anyway, the change would make the > >arrival time even earlier than that due to the gravitational > >effect.

Think about it instead of giving a knee-jerk Henry: ===== Sun Jupiter craft ===== X Y Earth The signal from the craft passes close to the surface of Jupiter and is in the Sun's shadow from emission until point X. Without the planet is would be slowed by the solar radistion pressure, because it is in the shadow it isn't slowed so arrives earlier. From X to Y the effect of the sunlight is unchanged but light reflected from Jupiter would push the signal towards Earth so again it arrives earlier than it would otherwise do due to the presence of the planet. > A radar pulse fired at Venus when it between Earth and Sun takes lomger than > one when the planet is in the opposite direction. > > ...and I'm not just talking about 'radiation pressure'. I'm sugesting forces > unknown....maybe associated with the gravity field. Gravity is what caused your problem in the first place, it accelerates the light between the craft and point X and slows it between X and Y so the speed ends up the same but the signal has moved ahead and arrives early. Anyway there is no point in wittering about "forces unknown", we are talking science so we are talking about nothing more than what ballistic theory predicts. It says the light will arrive early when in fact it arrives late and the suggestion of radiation pressure makes the problem worse, it isn't a solution. > >> BaTh also matches the curves of at least ONE pulsar. > > > >It matched all the ones we checked that had detectable > >Shapiro delays or an eclipse as long as you have the > >speed equalisation so short that there is no ADoppler. > >(Without an orbital phase reference you cannot reach an > >unambiguous conclusion.) > > That's not true. The curve of PSR1913+16 is mainly an ADoppler one. Not true, the orbit is far from edge on so there is no detectable Shapiro delay or eclipse AFAIK which means you cannot distinguish VDoppler from ADoppler. If you know of an orbita reference, we can revisit it of course, but from memory I thought it was you who told me it was VDoppler. I could be wrong on that though. it's a few months since we discussed it briefly. George

The curve of PSR1913+16 is mainly an ADoppler one. As I said in my earlier reply, that system has no orbital phase reference so doesn't distinguish between VDoppler and ADoppler. If you want to try some extra examples, a Shapiro delay reference is available for PSR 1534+12 and PSR 1855+09 so you could have a look for curves for those systems. George

Terms invented solely for this conversation. "VDoppler" is short for Doppler resulting from velocity, it is the same as conventional first order Doppler. "ADoppler" doesn't really exist. It means a frequency shift resulting from acceleration and would occur in Ritz's ballistic theory of light to which Henry subscribes. It results from, for example, pulses from a pulsar catching up with earlier ones if the later ones are emitted at higher speed due to acceleration of the source. Ritz's theory said the light would move at the vector sum of c plus the velocity of the source at the time of emission. HTH George

Perhaps you weren't following those conversations, but you are certainly aware that I gave you links to a video and stills of single-photon experiments when we were discussing gratings and you know I have repeatedly pointed out that individual photons are deflected by the same angle from a grating as predicted by the classical wave analysis.
