You are moving the start point in the nonrotating frame. Typical false relativist logic! http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s2-07/2-07.htm One path is longer than the other. One length of rope is longer than the other no matter how fast you pull it. Henry Wilson...www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/index.htm Einstein...World's greatest SciFi writer..

When a photon is split into two and subsequently reunited, the phasing of the two halves determines the amount of reinforcement or annihilation. Simple, eh? Diffraction grating angles still operate on the 'intrinsic wavelength' principle, on the assumption that photons have a finite cross section. >Does a continuous laser send waves?

Does that count as a wave for you? It's a pulse of photons. Are they all exactly 'in phase' of not? What would 'in phase' actually mean? I would say it means their intrinsic oscillation is coordinated in some way by the lasing action but that would not necessarily cause them have the same intrinsic phase. >Again I'm not arguing that you're wrong about anything, if you say this >is a wave I'm not going to jump up and down and crow that you admitted >you were wrong about something.

It oscilates kind of like a dumbell, maybe with a few harmonics. A photon is obviously a particle that oscillates in some intrinsic way, giving it both particle and wavelike properties. Why can nobody else understand this very simple conceot? Am I more intelligent than everyone else here? ..

It depends on whether light is moving intrinsic oscillators, in which case wavelength varies (Dopler) for each observer, and frequency remains the same. Or if light is a wave, in which case frequency varies (Dopler) for each observer, and the wavelength remains the same.

Androcles thinks that the set frequency of EM radition we call light is a totally different concept from the set EM frequencies we call radio waves? He's GOT to be joking. BAHAHAHA If not .. I wonder where he thinks the change between being waves and being particles happens? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum |
