MOVING OBSERVER TOPPLES EINSTEIN'S RELATIVITY

Doppler frequency shift (moving observer):

Let the stationary observer measure the frequency to be f, the speed of the light c, and the wavelength λ:

f = c/λ

As the observer starts moving towards the light source with speed v, the frequency becomes f'=(c+v)/λ, the speed of the light relative to the observer c', and the wavelength λ':

f' = (c+v)/λ = c'/λ'

So we don't have much choice. Either

(A) c' = c+v ; λ' = λ (end of Einstein's relativity)

or

(B) c' = c ; λ' = cλ/(c+v)

A is reasonable - it is valid for all other waves:

"Sound waves have speed c, and f and λ are related by c=λf. For an observer moving relative to medium with speed u, apparent propagation speed c' will be different: c'=c±u. Wavelength cannot change - it's a constant length in the medium, and same length in moving coordinate system (motion does not change lengths). Observed frequency has to change, to match apparent speed and fixed wavelength: f'=c'/λ."

B is obviously absurd - it implies that the motion of the observer miraculously changes the wavelength of the incoming light.

Note that the equation f'=(c+v)/L=c'/L', which is acceptable to both relativists and antirelativists, has only two posssible solutions for c' and L', and one of these solutions is fatal not only for Einstein's relativity but for theoretical physics as a whole. So sooner or later physicists and philosophers of science will have to give up crimestop and choose between the solutions (A) and (B):

(A) c' = c+v ; L' = L (end of Einstein's relativity)

(B) c' = c ; L' = cL/(c+v) (Einstein's relativity is saved but the shift in wavelength caused by the motion of the observer is absurd)

"Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity."

Paul Fendley: "Now let's see what this does to the frequency of the light. We know that even without special relativity, observers moving at different velocities measure different frequencies. (This is the reason the pitch of an ambulance changes as it passes you it doesn't change if you're on the ambulance). This is called the Doppler shift, and for small relative velocity v it is easy to show that the frequency shifts from f to f(1+v/c) [=(c+v)/λ]... There are relativistic corrections, but these are negligible here."

Roger Barlow: "The Doppler effect - changes in frequencies when sources or observers are in motion - is familiar to anyone who has stood at the roadside and watched (and listened) to the cars go by. It applies to all types of wave, not just sound. (...) Moving Observer. Now suppose the source is fixed but the observer is moving towards the source, with speed v. In time t, ct/λ waves pass a fixed point. A moving point adds another vt/λ. So f'=(c+v)/λ."

So the speed of the light waves relative to the moving point is:

c' = λ(ct/λ + vt/λ)/t = c+v

in violation of Einstein's relativity.

Einsteinians explain the Doppler effect:

"When the source is moving in the x-direction, it is "catching up" to the previously emitted wave when it emits the next wavefront. This means the wavelength reaching the observer, λo, is shortened."

That is, according to the Einsteinian, the motion of the wave source changes the wavelength - then the changed wavelength traverses the distance between moving source and stationary observer.

On the other hand, the distance between stationary source and moving observer is traversed by an UNCHANGED wavength. Yet, as the unchanged wavelength reaches the moving observer, a choir starts singing "Divine Einstein" and "Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity" - accordingly, the observer measures the unchanged wavelength to be changed, and the speed of the waves relative to him gloriously remains constant.

In a world different from Divine Einstein's world, the motion of the source would change any wavelength except for the wavelength of light. The motion of the observer would change no wavelength.

Robert Scherrer, Professor and Chair of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University: "When scientists developed the theory of light back in the 19th century, it came with a special puzzle: their theory seemed to show that every observer should measure the same speed for light, about 186,000 miles per second. But that means if you try to chase a beam of light, no matter how fast you move, the light beam will still fly away from you at 186,000 miles per second. And what's even more bizarre is that if you are moving at 99% of the speed of light, and your friend is standing still, both of you will see the light moving away at exactly the same speed. Many scientists back then didn't really believe this odd prediction, and the American physicist Albert Michelson (along with his collaborator Edward Morley) set out to measure how the speed of light would change due to the motion of the earth through space. But their famous Michelson-Morley experiment found no change at all. The speed of light seemed to be the same regardless of whether they measured it in the same direction the earth was moving, or in some other direction - a rare example of a non-discovery that turned out to be more important than a discovery!"

Actually Maxwell's 19th century electromagnetic theory predicted that the speed of light varies with the speed of the observer, and in 1887 the Michelson-Morley experiment confirmed that prediction:

John Norton: "That [Maxwell's] theory allows light to slow and be frozen in the frame of reference of a sufficiently rapidly moving observer."

John Norton: "In addition to his work as editor of the Einstein papers in finding source material, Stachel assembled the many small clues that reveal Einstein's serious consideration of an emission theory of light; and he gave us the crucial insight that Einstein regarded the Michelson-Morley experiment as evidence for the principle of relativity, whereas later writers almost universally use it as support for the light postulate of special relativity. Even today, this point needs emphasis. The Michelson-Morley experiment is fully compatible with an emission theory of light that contradicts the light postulate."
