THE SHORTEST REFUTATION OF EINSTEIN'S RELATIVITY

The observer starts moving towards the light source with speed v so the frequency he measures shifts from f to f' and the speed of light he measures shifts from c to c'. f'=? c'=?

Roger Barlow, Professor of Particle Physics: "Moving Observer. Now suppose the source is fixed but the observer is moving towards the source, with speed v. In time t, ct/(lambda) waves pass a fixed point. A moving point adds another vt/(lambda). So f'=(c+v)/(lambda)."

We also have f'=c'/(lambda), so c'=c+v, in violation of Einstein's special relativity.

Light falls in a gravitational field with the same acceleration as cannonballs. Does this imply that, in a gravitation-free space, the speed of light (as measured by the observer) varies with the speed of the observer as predicted by Newton's emission theory of light, that is, in accordance with the equation c'=c+v?

ANSWER: The speed of cannonballs shot downwards with initial speed V (relative to the shooter) varies with the gravitational potential (gh) in accordance with the equation V'=V(1+gh/V^2) (it is assumed that V(V'-V) and air friction is ignored). If the cannonball is shot from top to bottom in an elevator of height h accelerating, in gravitation-free space, with constant acceleration g, then the bottom has acquired speed v=gh/V when it meets the cannonball. Accordingly, the speed of the cannonball as measured at the bottom is V'=V(1+gh/V^2)=V+v.

If, in a gravitational field, the speed of photons varies exactly as the speed of cannonballs does, then the speed of a light signal emitted downwards with initial speed c (relative to the emitter) varies with the gravitational potential (gh) in accordance with the equation c'=c(1+gh/c^2). If the signal is emitted from top to bottom in an elevator of height h accelerating, in gravitation-free space, with constant acceleration g, then the bottom has acquired speed v=gh/c when it meets the signal. Accordingly, the speed of the signal as measured at the bottom is c'=c(1+gh/c^2)=c+v.

The equation c'=c+v is fatal for Einstein's relativity. In the context of the above argument, its truth entirely depends on the PREMISE:

"Light falls in a gravitational field with the same acceleration as cannonballs"

If the PREMISE is true, the equation c'=c+v is true. If not, not.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: "Consider a falling object. ITS SPEED INCREASES AS IT IS FALLING. Hence, if we were to associate a frequency with that object the frequency should increase accordingly as it falls to earth. Because of the equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass, WE SHOULD OBSERVE THE SAME EFFECT FOR LIGHT. So lets shine a light beam from the top of a very tall building. If we can measure the frequency shift as the light beam descends the building, we should be able to discern how gravity affects a falling light beam. This was done by Pound and Rebka in 1960. They shone a light from the top of the Jefferson tower at Harvard and measured the frequency shift. The frequency shift was tiny but in agreement with the theoretical prediction."

Albert Einstein Institute: "One of the three classical tests for general relativity is the gravitational redshift of light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. However, in contrast to the other two tests - the gravitational deflection of light and the relativistic perihelion shift -, you do not need general relativity to derive the correct prediction for the gravitational redshift. A combination of Newtonian gravity, a particle theory of light, and the weak equivalence principle (gravitating mass equals inertial mass) suffices. (...) The gravitational redshift was first measured on earth in 1960-65 by Pound, Rebka, and Snider at Harvard University..."

IMPLICATION 1: Light falls in a gravitational field with the same acceleration as cannonballs.

IMPLICATION 2: The Pound-Rebka experiment confirmed the variation of the speed of light with the gravitational potential predicted by Newton's emission theory of light.

Earlier I showed that, if the speed of light varies with the gravitational potential as predicted by the emission theory, then in gravitation-free space it varies with the speed of the observer again as predicted by the emission theory. The fundamental equations of Newton's emission theory of light:

c' = c(1 + gh/c^2) = c + v
