George, a field exists whether or not it accelerates a charge.
As a physicist, it is my business to investigate what makes a field, not just
how it interacts with a charge.

Typical relativist...think he has all the answers.

Just assume it shrinks during an acceleration...but the movement between ends
quickly dampens out.

That could be true.

THis is indeedpossible.. A photon is capable of self-propagation...without
losing energy ...or not much anyway.
....or maybe the photon just starts out at c wrt its source and would stay
around that speed except for extinction effects.

It has 'wavelength'...the absolute distance between the wave peaks.
Frequency, as we know it, is the rate at which those peaks arrive.

The intention was to illustrate Maxwell's model.
I still have a pretty open mind about the nature of photons. I still reckon
they might just be a spinning pair of charges....in which case the field
strength tapers off with distance away. After all, there are lots of charges
around.

Sure. I say there is no connection between the intrinsic wave and say, an RF
signal. Mind you, it would really matter if there was a connection. It would
throw some light on the problem.

George, you were wrong about Sagnac. Why should I believe anything you say?

Your page was plagiarised from my post of November 2005 and you state on
your
page that the times are equal as that post
proved while your own minor addition to that
is wrong.

> Why should I believe anything you say?

Because you can apply ballistic theory to the
method as easily as I, and confirm for yourself
that I am right as I was about the travel time
in the Sagnac experiment.

George, Have a look at: www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/ringgyro1.jpg

It shows what a farce SR really is.

The Sagnac effect has nothing whatsoever to do with Einstein''s relativity.

It is OK as far as the calculation of time difference,
below that it is wrong because you used the wavelength
instead of the distance moved by the wave in a period.

> It shows what a farce SR really is.

It shows that you cannot do schoolboy algebra.
