COSMIC OR EINSTEINIAN CONSPIRACY ?
Einsteinians teach that the constancy of the speed of light (all observers measure the speed of light to be the same) is a cosmic conspiracy of the highest order:
http://astro.cornell.edu/academics/c...speedlimit.htm Neil deGrasse Tyson: "If everyone, everywhere and at all times, is to measure the same speed for the beam from your imaginary spacecraft, a number of things have to happen. First of all, as the speed of your spacecraft increases, the length of everything - you, your measuring devices, your spacecraft - shortens in the direction of motion, as seen by everyone else. Furthermore, your own time slows down exactly enough so that when you haul out your newly shortened yardstick, you are guaranteed to be duped into measuring the same old constant value for the speed of light. What we have here is a COSMIC CONSPIRACY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc3-29dguFs Brian Greene: "Einstein proposed a truly stunning idea - that space and time could work together, constantly adjusting by exactly the right amount so that no matter how fast you might be moving, when you measure the speed of light it always comes out to be 671000000 miles per hour." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics...-nutshell.html Brian Greene: "If space and time did not behave this way, the speed of light would not be constant and would depend on the observer's state of motion.. But it is constant; space and time do behave this way. Space and time adjust themselves in an exactly compensating manner so that observations of light's speed yield the same result, regardless of the observer's velocity." The following text clearly shows that the conspiracy is Einsteinian, not cosmic: http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/...relativity.htm John Stachel: "But here he ran into the most blatant-seeming contradiction, which I mentioned earlier when first discussing the two principles. As noted then, the Maxwell-Lorentz equations imply that there exists (at least) one inertial frame in which the speed of light is a constant regardless of the motion of the light source. Einstein's version of the relativity principle (minus the ether) requires that, if this is true for one inertial frame, it must be true for all inertial frames. But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair. We have no details of this struggle, unfortunately. Finally, after a day spent wrestling once more with the problem in the company of his friend and patent office colleague Michele Besso, the only person thanked in the 1905 SRT paper, there came a moment of crucial insight. In all of his struggles with the emission theory as well as with Lorentz's theory, he had been assuming that the ordinary Newtonian law of addition of velocities was unproblematic. It is this law of addition of velocities that allows one to "prove" that, if the velocity of light is constant with respect to one inertial frame, it cannot be constant with respect to any other inertial frame moving with respect to the first. It suddenly dawned on Einstein that this "obvious" law was based on certain assumptions about the nature of time always tacitly made." The speed of light (relative to the observer) OBVIOUSLY varies with the speed of the observer, in violation of Einstein's relativity. Consider a light source emitting a series of pulses the distance between which is d (e.g. d = 300000 km). A stationary observer (receiver) measures the frequency of the pulses to be f = c/d: http://www.einstein-online.info/imag...ler_static.gif The observer starts moving with (small) speed v towards the light source - the measured frequency shifts from f = c/d to f' = (c+v)/d: http://www.einstein-online.info/imag...ector_blue.gif Question: Why does the frequency shift from f = c/d to f' = (c+v)/d ? Answer 1 (fatal for Einstein's relativity): Because the speed of the pulses relative to the observer shifts from c to c' = c+v. Answer 2 (possibly saving Einstein's relativity): Because... There is no reasonable statement that could become Answer 2. Pentcho Valev |

COSMIC OR EINSTEINIAN CONSPIRACY ?
Originally, Einstein derived the constancy of the speed of light from the Lorentz transforms; then he advanced it as a postulate and derived the Lorentz transforms from the postulate (plagiarism par excellence):
http://inpac.ucsd.edu/students/cours...relativity.pdf Albert Einstein (1922): "At that time I firmly believed that the electrodynamic equations of Maxwell and Lorentz were correct. Furthermore, the assumption that these equations should hold in the reference frame of the moving body leads to the concept of the invariance of the velocity of light, which, however, contradicts the addition rule of velocities used in mechanics." Nowadays Neil deGrasse Tyson and Brian Greene are making career and money by teaching that the false postulate of the constancy of the speed of light is a cosmic conspiracy of the highest order: http://astro.cornell.edu/academics/c...speedlimit.htm Neil deGrasse Tyson: "If everyone, everywhere and at all times, is to measure the same speed for the beam from your imaginary spacecraft, a number of things have to happen. First of all, as the speed of your spacecraft increases, the length of everything - you, your measuring devices, your spacecraft - shortens in the direction of motion, as seen by everyone else. Furthermore, your own time slows down exactly enough so that when you haul out your newly shortened yardstick, you are guaranteed to be duped into measuring the same old constant value for the speed of light.
