I know, but so far you have only proved that you have never made the attempt and consequently never have understood it. Only you can convince me otherwise, but later you admit what everyone has been telling you: > I don't want to even consider the SR explanation. Obviously. That's why your criticisms are invariably aimed at nonsensical strawmen. George

Yes but momentum is proportional to speed while energy is proportional to the square hence the energy lost in an interaction with a galaxy is negligible. The temperature of the gas associated with it is more significant, but lay that aside for the time being, because: > Whenever light passes close to an atom, it is deflected and so is the > atom....by a very small amount...but there are lots of atoms in a million > LYs > of 'empty' space. That's a much more sensible suggestion. However, it will suffer from the usual problem that the energy loss must be associated with a momentum change as you said, hence it would cause blurring of the image of distant objects. I've done the sums for Compton scattering but hadn't considered the gravitational equivalent so that might be interesting to research.

True, the universe isn't there for my gain. The measurements tell me that's the way it is whether I want to accept it or not. George

That's my answer. It's technobabble and irrelevant since you are already aware that the behaviour of the interferometer in the Sagnac experiment can be predicted by the classical method. At least your having to resort to a comment like that shows the effort we have put in has demonstrated to you that none of the other "explanations" you came up with worked. Sagnac falsifies Ritz's ballistic theory (BaT) and you don't have an alternative. George

Not necessarily. Deflection should even out over any significant distacne. I imagine a photon as a long pointed cigar shaped object moving rapidly through space. Every time it passes an atom, that atom is drawn very slightly towards it. The associated energy can only come from the photon. The photon will also be deflected but after passing lots of atoms will end up in the same basic direction. It will travel in a very slight zig-zag path, losing a little energy at every direction change. >I've >done the sums for Compton scattering but >hadn't considered the gravitational >equivalent so that might be interesting >to research. Thanks for the idea Henri :-) Note, if two photons pass an atom simultaneously and equidistant but on opposite sides, the atom will not move...imagine two electrons passing a proton. The electrons are deflected towards each other but the proton does not move sideways. Question, does the proton end up displaced longitudinally? It should not, but..... e- >v P e- >v > >[context replaced again:] >>>>>> I doubt if the majority of scientists now supports the BB concept. >... >>>>>Novae are observed regularly but since >>>>>those are explosions in space, they have >>>>>no relevance to Big Bang theory so how >>>>>does that justify your bizarre claim >>>>>regarding the "majority of scientists"? >>>> >>>> there will be the occasional super-super-nova >>> >>>Equally irrelevant, what is your >>>justification for your claim about the >>>support of the "majority" of scientists? >> >> I read it somewhere. > >No Henri, you just made it up.

They are not. If that were true there would be no way they would differ from 'nothing'. They a long, pointed, cigar shaped aggregations of standing EM waves. They have a long axis and an effective cross-section. If you shoot an arrow at a 45 degree wall, moving sideways, how is the arrow rotated/deflected?
