I did...and I'm not impressed. He was obviously a relativist who believed that
all starlight travels at c to little planet Earth.
The is nothing in ithe paper that suggests I am wrong.

The fact that brightness variation occurs at a very constant rate, varying only
slightly over many years, agrees with the BaT's time compression concept.

I would say tat a cepheid is a largeish star around which a neutron star or
other WCH is orbiting quite rapidly. Note: a neutron star would not create a
noticeable eclipse.
The pair are themselves in orbit around another large mass, a process that can
make the period of the binary appear considerably shorter than it really is.

Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
The most useful thing I have ever done is prove Einstein wrong.

It probably involves a ternary system.

which solar wind?
Our sun is not spinning around a neutron star every five days.

In classical wave terms, yes.

You know OWLS has never been measured..so why do you claim it has. This
repetitive behavior of SRians really lowers their credibility.

Figures please.

Anyway, different orbits mean different speeds throught the Earth's fields.

They may be in the same free fall ..but are they cutting the Earth's fields at
the same speed?

Irregularities appear in EVERY HYPOTHETICAL ORBIT. Model that!

Your curves appear similar in gross to Cepheid curves. They do
NOT resemble Cepheid curves in DETAIL.

How do you explain the random 0.03 magnitude fluctuations in the
Polaris
light curve?

Your BaT theory requires epicycle upon epicycle...
