Some Emission Theories of Light, by Richard Chace Tolman Physical Review, August 1912, 35 (2): 136-143 "THE Einstein theory of relativity assumes as its second postulate, that the velocity of light is independent of the relative motion of the source of light and the observer. It has been suggested in a number of places that all the apparent paradoxes of the Einstein theory might be avoided and at the same time the principle of the relativity of motion retained, if an alternative postulate were true that the velocity of light and the velocity of the source are additive. Relativity theories based on such a postulate may well be called emission theories. (...) Emission theories differ, however, in their assumptions as to the velocity of light after its reflection from a mirror." The fact that emission theories differ "in their assumptions as to the velocity of light after its reflection from a mirror" deserves discussion but not in Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world where this fact immediately becomes a red herring deviating the attention from the falsehood of Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate. So I suggest that, until the era of Postscientism is over, antirelativists stick to the following tentative assumption: Photons behave like absolutely elastic cannonballs. It is easy to see that both the Michelson-Morley and the Pound-Rebka experiments are compatible with the assumption. Pentcho Valev |
