says... 2nd flaw: *Doppler effect can slow the light's pulse rate but not it's speed. Again, this is no flaw. It is correct. The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant of nature, so of course the Doppler effect can affect only its frequency, not its speed. That the Doppler effect is not a consequence of the fact that the speed of light varies with the speed of the light source (relative to the observer) is one of the greatest idiocies ever devised in Einsteiniana. There is an analogous idiocy - that the gravitational redshift is not a consequence of the fact that the speed of light varies with the gravitational potential - but here Einsteinians are not so confident and some of them even hint at the correct interpretation: http://www.blazelabs.com/f-g-gcont.asp "The first confirmation of a long range variation in the speed of light travelling in space came in 1964. Irwin Shapiro, it seems, was the first to make use of a previously forgotten facet of general relativity theory -- that the speed of light is reduced when it passes through a gravitational field....Faced with this evidence, Einstein stated:"In the second place our result shows that, according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position."......Today we find that since the Special Theory of Relativity unfortunately became part of the so called mainstream science, it is considered a sacrilege to even suggest that the speed of light be anything other than a constant. This is somewhat surprising since even Einstein himself suggested in a paper "On the Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light," Annalen der Physik, 35, 1911, that the speed of light might vary with the gravitational potential. Indeed, the variation of the speed of light in a vacuum or space is explicitly shown in Einstein's calculation for the angle at which light should bend upon the influence of gravity. One can find his calculation in his paper. The result is c'=c(1+V/c^2) where V is the gravitational potential relative to the point where the measurement is taken. 1+V/c^2 is also known as the GRAVITATIONAL REDSHIFT FACTOR." Pentcho Valev |
