Default THE MOST SPOOKY RESULT IN PHYSICS

http://www.nature.com/news/zombie-ph...-t-die-1.18685
Natu "When a scientific result seems to show something genuinely new, subsequent experiments are supposed to either confirm it -- triggering a textbook rewrite -- or show it to be a measurement anomaly or experimental blunder. But some findings seem to remain forever stuck in the middle ground between light and shadow."

See my comment on Nature's article where I show that the most spooky result in physics, one that saves Einstein's relativity from collapse, is the change of the wavelength of the incoming wave caused by the motion of the observer, as shown in the following pictu

Default THE MOST SPOOKY RESULT IN PHYSICS

"Light is an electromagnetic wave. The fact that the speed of light is the same for all observers is a founding assumption of Einstein's theory of relativity. We need it to be the case if we want the laws of physics - especially the laws of electromagnetism - to be the same whatever the relative speeds of the objects involved. We do want this. No physics student should have to learn a different version of Maxwell's equations every time their speed relative to the examiner changes."

Not even a lie - the Einsteinian just does not know what he is talking about. The version of Maxwell's equations taught nowadays is independent of whether the speed of light is the same or different for differently moving observers. Actually, any reasonable interpretation of the Doppler effect (moving observer) shows that the speed of light is not constant - it is different for differently moving observers:

http://physics.bu.edu/~redner/211-sp...9_doppler.html
Professor Sidney Redner: "The Doppler effect is the shift in frequency of a wave that occurs when the wave source, or the detector of the wave, is moving. Applications of the Doppler effect range from medical tests using ultrasound to radar detectors and astronomy (with electromagnetic waves). (...) We will focus on sound waves in describing the Doppler effect, but it works for other waves too. (...) Let's say you, the observer, now move toward the source with velocity vO. You encounter more waves per unit time than you did before. Relative to you, the waves travel at a higher speed: v'=v+vO. The frequency of the waves you detect is higher, and is given by: f'=v'/λ=(v+vO)/λ."

"Relative to you, the waves travel at a higher speed" = Goodbye Einstein!

http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/roger/PHY.../lecture18.pdf
Professor 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."

That is, for all types of wave, the speed of the waves relative to the fixed point (observer) is

(ct/λ)(λ/t) = c

The speed of the waves relative to the moving point (observer) is

(ct/λ + vt/λ)(λ/t) = c + v,

in violation of Einstein's relativity.

Albert Einstein Institute: "The frequency of a wave-like signal - such as sound or light - depends on the movement of the sender and of the receiver. This is known as the Doppler effect. (...) Here is an animation of the receiver moving towards the source:

http://www.einstein-online.info/imag...ler_static.gif (stationary receiver)

http://www.einstein-online.info/imag...ector_blue.gif (moving receiver)

By observing the two indicator lights, you can see for yourself that, once more, there is a blue-shift - the pulse frequency measured at the receiver is somewhat higher than the frequency with which the pulses are sent out. This time, the distances between subsequent pulses are not affected, but still there is a frequency shift: As the receiver moves towards each pulse, the time until pulse and receiver meet up is shortened. In this particular animation, which has the receiver moving towards the source at one third the speed of the pulses themselves, four pulses are received in the time it takes the source to emit three pulses."

If the distance between subsequent pulses is d and "the time it takes the source to emit three pulses" is t, then the speed of the pulses relative to the source is

3d/t = c,

and relative to the moving receiver is

4d/t = (4/3)c,

in violation of Einstein's relativity.
