Tom Roberts just wrote in sci.physics.relativity:
Henri Wilson wrote: SR doesn't explain how the fairies actually adjust all the starlight in the universe to travel at precisely c wrt little planet Earth. Those "fairies" "adjust" that in precisely the same way they "adjust" it to travel in a straight line. That is, neither "fairies" nor "adjustments" are needed, because this is geometry. shrug And, of course, this is nothing special for "little planet earth", it is for each and every inertial frame (i.e. the geometry is the same in every such frame). shrug Not each and every inertial frame shrug Roberts Roberts. Your brother hypnotist Steve Carlip explained this to you long time ago: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.p...914329d47c551d "In this passage, Einstein is not talking about a freely falling frame, but rather about a frame at rest relative to a source of gravity. In such a frame, the speed of light can differ from c, basically because of the effect of gravity (spacetime curvature) on clocks and rulers." So shrug Roberts Roberts if the "frame at rest relative to a source of gravity" is very distant from the source of gravity, that is, the field there is zero and the frame is virtually INERTIAL, and if the source of gravity sends light towards this distant frame, then, as your brother hypnotist Steve Carlip explained to you shrug Roberts Roberts, "in such a frame, the speed of light can differ from c". In other words, the speed of light varies with the gravitational potential, in accordance with Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2). Learn more here shrug Roberts Roberts: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.p...7ce7429cbc7ffa Of course, there is an essential difference between you shrug Roberts Roberts and your brother hypnotist Steve Carlip. You are the Albert Einstein of our generation (Hawking is no longer etc.) and for that reason you should constantly lie. Your brother hypnotist Steve Carlip is not the Albert Einstein of our generation and for that reason sometimes he tells the truth. Pentcho Valev |
