![]() It is true to say that every aspect of astronomy has always been and still is firmly based on the assumption that all starlight reaching planet Earth has traveled at precisely the same speed c, during its entire journey. Now, investigations involving variable stars, along with a radically revised Ballistic Theory of Light strongly suggest that this is not true and that the speed of cosmic light is indeed very much dependent on the speed of its source. This paper presents strong evidence for this alternative view and suggests that the failure of astronomers to seriously question their traditional belief has led to a general misinterpretation of most of the illusory data they have collected. Plainly, much of modern astronomical theory is built on faulty foundations. The following paper presents novel concepts and far reaching discoveries that will hopefully rectify this situation and put some sanity back into modern physics. (note: this paper contains links to Vbasic .exe programs written by this author. They cannot harm your computer but might need a Windows operating system to run properly.) INTRODUCTION. Prior to 1905, light in all its forms was widely considered to be nothing more than wavelike disturbances in an invisible medium called aether, which occupied the whole of space. Its propagation was virtually identical to that of sound except for a much higher speed and a transverse rather than longitudinal wave displacement. Unlike sound, light was deemed to always move at precisely the same speed 'c' with respect to the absolute reference frame provided by the aether. However, many earlier attempts to measure the Earth's speed through that mysterious medium had failed, giving rise to serious questions. These were seemingly answered by physicist Hendrik Lorentz who, in the late 19th century, supplemented established aether principles with the novel concept that both length and time intervals were similarly contracted by any movement relative to the aether. Accordingly, rod lengths physically shortened and the passage of time physically slowed by the same factor, such that any attempt to measure light speed (dimensions L/T) would always produce the same value, c, irrespective of the observer's absolute movement through the aether. His theory kept alive the aether concept in spite of attempts by people such as Michelson and Morley, to investigate its existence. (see eg., MMX) . Others were not so happy, particularly after the discovery of the photo-electric effect, which emphasized the particlate nature of light and attracted renewed support for the old 'Corpuscular' or 'Ballistic' Theory. This likened light 'quanta' to bullets fired from a gun...but this theory was also rejected due to its apparent incompatibility with the wave aspects of light and to conflicting results involving observations of binary star behavior. In 1905, Albert Einstein entered the scene by publishing his famous paper on what was to become known as Special Relativity (SR). This was an ingenious proposal which temporarily put an end to arguments as to whether or not the aether existed by effectively making it redundant. He simply replaced Lorentz's conclusion that light speed would always be measured as having the value c, with his second postulate (P2), which in essence, quote, “ allows the reference frame of any observer to be declared 'stationary' such that any ray of light moves.... (in that frame).......with the determined velocity 'c' whether the ray be emitted by a stationary or moving source”. His claim was that each and every observer frame constituted a kind of personal aether in which light always moves at precisely c irrespective of source movement. Naturally the theory was greeted with much skepticism since it represented a radical departure from the traditional Newtonian view of the world and had no obvious supporting evidence. As well, on closer inspection, it appeared to be nothing more than a variation of LET, according to which measured light speed was indeed always equal to c, irrespective of source or observer movement. (Einstein himself admitted later that without an absolute aether, his theory would collapse.) However Einstein produced an ingenious velocity addition formula, which stated that if an object moves at speed u relative to one observer, its speed relative to a second observer moving at v wrt the former one is given by the formula: w = (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2) . For light, u = c and therefore, w = (c+v)/(1+v/c) = c (c+v)/(c+v) = c !!!!...which is nothing more than a mathematical restatement of his second postulate. With a simple mathematical trick and by first assuming light speed to be always c, he produced an equation that seemingly made his postulate mathematically possible and consistent. But mere words do not constitute a physical law and neither the postulate nor the velocity addition formula has been verified by direct experiment. Einstein's theory differs from LET in several fundamental ways. According to Lorentz, lengths and time intervals are absolute in nature but vary according to movement with respect to (wrt) the reference frame provided by the all-encompasing aether. Einstein rejected the notion that intervals of time or space were in any way intrinsic or absolute. Rather, he introduced the novel concept that these quantities were products of measurement only. They were frame dependent, contracting with relative movement in any observer's 'personal aether frame' just as they did in Lorentz's 'single aether' theory. Not surprisingly, LET and SR have the same equations, although LET's contractions are real 'physical' changes whilst SR's were purely observational...yet with 'real' consequences for any particular observer. LET says a rod physically shrinks and a clock slows with absolute movement. SR says nothing actually happens to a rod or clock during a speed change but their measured properties will always be reduced by any movement relative to the observer. Thus, the two theories can give different answers for the same situation. It is not hard to see why Einstein's theory created confusion and was initially rejected. In summary, whilst Lorentz's theory provided a sound basis for both the universality and source independence of light speed, Einstein's relied solely on an unproven postulate. However, without an absolute spatial reference, (an 'aetherlike medium'), the latter fails to provide a logical argument or physical mechanism that might cause light from totally remote and unrelated galaxies to reach a common speed in transit... particularly one of fixed value with respect to a distant planet Earth, which might not have even existed at the time of emission. The fact that all forms of EM radiation take time to go from A to B gives them a conventional speed and all speeds are frame dependent by definition. Normal logic demands that a remote light source is the ONLY speed reference for its own emitted light. Einstein claimed otherwise via his personal aether concept. The Einstein/Lorentz approach clearly requires that a unique spatial reference frame exists, in which case a consistent mathematical theory can be formulated to describe subsequent interelations between length, time and speed. But if one does not exist...BOTH THEORIES COLLAPSE! (Note, according to SR, the mass of an object is also frame dependent). It would be left to experimental physics to determine if Einstein's personal aether concept, was at all credible...and after one hundred years of grappling with accuracy limitations and interpretational nightmares, it appears that the jury is still seeking a verdict. The following program illustrates the reliance of source independency on the existence of an absolute spatial reference: Demonstration of source independency. (A Vbasic program, Windows OS required) www.scisite.info/einstein's_aether.exe It is hard to fathom why, to this day, astronomy has maintained complete confidence in Einstein's source independency postulate, when the speed of stellar light has never been directly measured. Whether or not some aspects of LET or SR are valid in the vicinity of large masses, it is argued here that the postulate is counter intuitive and certainly wrong for light traveling across 'empty' space. On Earth, the high speed of light enables humans to confidently assume that what they see is a true account of what actually happens but this is not generally true in astronomy because of the large distances involved. Throughout the universe, a huge amount of light energy is being continuously emitted by a wide range of sources moving at different speeds relative to planet Earth. According to ballistic theory, emitted light initially travels at c wrt its sourrce and at c+v towards Earth, where v is the source speed at the instant of emission. Subsequently, during travel over vast distances, the faster light encroaches on slower light and may overtake it, meaning that observed sequences of cosmic events might be very different from those which actually happened at the source. A photograph taken over a few hours on Earth might include events and features that occurred weeks or even years apart at the object's location. Currently, astronomers make routine timing estimates based on the principle of constant light speed across the whole of space. However, it is inconceivable that nature was so kind as to make all speeds frame dependent except that of light, just to make the astronomer's life a little easier. According to the Ballistic Theory of Light (BaTh), the corrections should take into account the varying speeds of light. Such a refinement has far reaching consequences for astronomy, which has been wallowing under the source independency cloud since its inception. A new term 'willusion' has been created to describe an optical illusion brought about by light moving at different speeds towards an observer. Currently, astronomers collect and record vast amounts of willusory data and, largely because of Einstein's second postulate, mistakenly accept it as an exact portrayal of distant images and events. This leads to a fabrication of often outlandish and fantastic theories in attempts to explain what they think they are seeing. The real challenge for astronomers is to try to sift out scientific truths from the mass of willusory data at their disposal. The revised ballistic theory described below simplifies the interpretation of data and opens up a Pandora's box full of opportunities for those who have the courage to question the established views. Walter Ritz, the main proponent of ballistic theory passed away not long after Einstein's radical ideas swept the scientific world. Development of BaTh more or less died with him although Russian workers including Vladimir I. Sekerin maintained a strong interest. However, without the availability of fast computers, unraveling willusory data was a formidable challenge. Presented here is an upgraded version of a theory that has the potential to revolutionize the whole of astronomy. Irrespective of claimed successes of the Einstein/Lorentz theory in the lab or near large masses, evidence obtained from studying variable star brightness curves strongly supports the source dependency principle. It will be shown that claimed 'refutations' of Ballistic Theory are fundamentally flawed and that direct support for any aspect of Einstein's theory is sketchy at best. The scientific world can no longer afford to ignore the fact that Einstein's unproven second postulate is completely wrong.

ASTC, Bsc.", with not a mention of Henry Wilson contributing in any way. Nor does Henry, in his verbatim, blatantly stolen version, give any credit to Mr Rabbidge. He simply replaced RM RABBIDGE with his own name. Henry has plagiarized Ralph';s work and has claimed it for his own .. simply re-titling it and changing the authorship to be solely his own. You're a thief, Henry !! |
