TOM ROBERTS WILL EXPLAIN THE DOPPLER EFFECT

"If the light emitted from a source moving with velocity v toward the

effect is the observed variation in frequency of a source when it is
observed by a detector that is moving relative to the source. This
effect is most pronounced when the source is moving directly toward or
away from the detector...."

Now Roberts you should explain the relation between k and the
frequency variation. If you are really the Albert Einstein of our
generation, you will be able to twist and turn and eventually disperse
any suspicion that k=1 (as the Michelson-Morley experiment suggests)
and that the frequency varies in accordance with the value k=1 (as the
Pound-Rebka experiment suggests).

Roberts Roberts the head constantly buried in the sand and other parts
of your body sadly exposed - that is the recent result of the
application of Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2). A few years ago
your position was quite different:

Tom Roberts in sci.physics.relativity: "The speed of the light is also
independent of source velocity, both in SR and GR, and experimentally.
The frequency and wavelength of the emitted light, however, are not
independent of source velocity, and depend upon the relative velocity
of the source and observer, including the direction of this velocity 3-
vector wrt the beam of light. The SR Doppler formula describes this
quite well (i.e. agrees with experimental measurements)." Tom Roberts
