The liquid above mentioned is flowing through the tube with a velocity v." The wave a pebble makes when dropped into a motionless liquid travels with a particular velocity p. A pebble is dropped into the middle of a river upstream. You are in the middle of the river downstream. The wave the pebble created in the water reaches you. The wave the pebble makes has traveled at p with respect to the water to reach you and the wave the pebble makes has traveled at p + v relative to the embankment to reach you. The fact remains the wave the pebble made travels through the water with particular velocity p. A flash of light occurs in the middle of a river upstream. You are in the middle of the river downstream. The light wave the flash creates in the water reaches you. The light wave the flash makes has traveled at w with respect to the water to reach you and the light wave the flash makes has traveled at w + v relative to the embankment to reach you. The fact remains the light wave the flash made travels through the water with the particular velocity w. A flash of light occurs in the middle of a vacuum on the surface of the Earth. The aether entrained by the Earth is at rest with respect to the Earth. You are in the vacuum moving towards the flash of light. You are moving with particular velocity v relative to the Earth. The light wave the flash makes reaches you. The light wave the flash makes has traveled at c with respect to the aether to reach you and the light wave the flash makes has traveled at c + v in respect to your velocity relative to the Earth. Factoring you in is the closing velocity with respect to the light. The fact remains the flash traveled at c with respect to the aether.

[The fact remains the light wave the flash made travels through the aether with the particular velocity c.] Modification: The fact remains the light wave the flash made travels through the aether with the particular velocity c.

Pebble waves and rivers move nonrelativisticly, so this is correct, but irrelevant. >A flash of light occurs in the middle of a river upstream. You are in >the middle of the river downstream.

The light reaches you at velocity W = (v+w)/(1+vw/c^2) since w is a relativistic speed (0.75 c in water). You'd know this if you read Einstein's comments on the Fizeau Experiment. (So why did you say "correct" earlier?) Since your statements are all based on this incorrect statement, it's GIGO.

A flash of light occurs in the middle of a vacuum on the surface of the Earth. The aether entrained by the Earth is at rest with respect to the Earth. You are in the vacuum moving towards the flash of light. You are moving with a relativistic velocity relative to the Earth. The light wave the flash makes reaches you. The light wave the flash makes has traveled at c with respect to the aether to reach you and the light wave the flash makes has traveled at c + your relativistic velocity relative to the Earth. Factoring you in is the closing velocity with respect to the light. The fact remains the flash traveled at c with respect to the aether. |
