I am afraid I do not have time for what I call socialized error-clad
physics. Where a
term of Doppler radar is placed into the social network. Much like if
someone
called a radar a Mossbauer Radar, thinking that the Mossbauer Effect
had some
role in radar. I do not have time to unravel socialized errors of
physics. Some actually
believe a radar can pick up a Doppler shift, but if that were true,
why is that all
radars require at least two echoes? If a Radar were truly a Doppler
Radar, it would
need just one echo (one reflection) to tell the speed of the object.
As far as I know,
all radars, whether dubbed doppler radars or not, require two echoes.

What I am after is whether the Doppler Effect is contradictory to
Special Relativity
for lightwaves. I have no complaints about Doppler shift on sound
waves. But
sound does not have a Special Relativity Principle.

Chapter 8 in this book is basically this:

 (8) Redshift of light from galaxies caused by
refraction and scattering, not a Doppler effect

And in that chapter I want to show that the Doppler Effect exists on
sound waves
but never on lightwaves or the EM spectrum.

Now one experiment that already is pointed in the direction that
lightwaves cannot
be doppler shifted is the Michelson Morley experiment where the
interferometer
interpretation can be reinterpretated to mean that there was no shift
in either wavelength
or frequency. The Michelson Experiment of the late 1800s was a
experiment to try
to detect the motion of the lumiferous aether, the medium for
lightwaves. The Experiment
ended with a null result. If we refurbish the Michelson Experiment, I
feel we
can coax out of it, the result that lightwaves cannot be Doppler
shifted.

Evidence for that idea that lightwaves cannot be Doppler shifted comes
from everyday
experience on Earth and the Solar System. Sound waves are doppler
shifted is a common
every day experience, but lightwaves doppler shifted have never
actually been experimentally
confirmed, except for the Michelson Experiment with its null results.

Now some claim that the radar technology is a Doppler technology. But
this is only a fantasy,
a wishful thinking, because in all the radar uses to detect speed,
boils down, in the end to
two echoes determining the speed. If a Doppler Effect truly existed
for radar, then the
Space Station astronauts would have trouble with radio signals from
Earth, same as
a train with its sound waves having trouble with Doppler. But
listening to the radio in the
Space Station is a null Doppler.

To prove that the Doppler Effect cannot exist with lightwaves, I must
ultimately show
that the Doppler Effect is nonexistant in the Maxwell theory of a
stationary wire loop
and moving magnet is the same as a moving wire loop and stationary
magnet. So I need
to show that this symmetry of wire loop and magnet are broken if a
Doppler effect
occurrs on lightwaves. So that, let us say a magnet is moving with the
speed of light
towards a wire loop and then a magnet away at the speed of light. I
must show that
such is a contradiction if a Doppler Effect occurred in the Maxwell
theory and thus Special Relativity.

Perhaps a Proof: suppose both the magnet and wire loop were moving at
the speed of light.
Then in the case of moving towards one another it would be a huge
Doppler blueshift. In
the case of moving away from one another is a huge redshift. The
energy in the Maxwell
theory would be unequal in those two cases, and thus a broken
symmetry. Thus a
Doppler Effect cannot exist for lightwaves.

That is a first stab, and it may hold up.
