One of the most fundamental laws of physics is that an object in motion
continues in that motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

The light emitted consists of 'objects'. Once emitted, they must travel in
straight lines at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside
force.

What force would 'tie' the light, once emitted, to the source so that it
must follow the source?

There is no evidence of any such 'tie' between light, once emitted, and its
source.

In a cyclotron, particles traveling around a circular path emit beams of
xrays.
Those xrays travel in straight lines from the point of emission. They do
NOT follow, in any way, the subsequent motion of the emitting particle.

He did NOT say 'break apart', he said 'distort'.
In the MMX, all it takes is moving part of the apparatus by a small
fraction of the wavelength of light in order to create a detectable
indication.

THAT is why he said 'distort'. Spinning the apparatus would cause changes
in the instrument that would make it useless for the purpose you propose to
use it for.

George I probalby know a lot more about maths than you do. I prefer not to use
it. I am fortunate enough to have a mind that can literally turn the maths into
physical models and vice versa. That's what makes me superior to engineers.

All of mine were largely physics. I tended towards engineering later.

That's your last ditch argument....when all else fails make stupid statements
like that one. My program can only produce a very stringent range of curves.
It so happens that most star curve fit into this range...Coincidence George?

Move a planck curve sideway 1% and see what it does to the V band.

A type 1a supernova is a neutron star that has accreted enough
hydrogen to initiate fusion on the outer surface. Basically, its a
huge bomb.

Yes Ralph, but where are your equations?

You *love* generating concepts but not once have you ever generated
equations from the concepts. Still waiting for your three
subdimensions of time theory to be fleshed out..

You have a source for that? Because everything I have read says
neutron stars are the end result of a supernova, not the
precursor to one, and that they are cold; their surfaces are cold
enough to be solid. Fusion on the surface is highly improbable.
