![]() Pentcho Valev wrote: In 1911 Albert Einstein showed that, in a gravitational field, the speed of light varies in accordance with the equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) where V is the gravitational potential. The equation is consistent with the redshift factor 1+V/c^2 which means that the redshift is due to variable speed of light and therefore there is NO GRAVITATIONAL TIME DILATION. Finally, the application of the equivalence principle converts c'=c(1+V/c^2) into c'=c+v where v is the relative speed of the light source and the observer, in the absence of a gravitational field. Clearly the equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) is fatal for Einstein's theory so, in order to save the theory, Einsteinians are forced to declare Einstein's equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) wrong: "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. Now we might think that as a consequence of this, the special theory of relativity and with it the whole theory of relativity would be laid in the dust. But in reality this is not the case. We can only conclude that the special theory of relativity cannot claim an unlimited domain of validity; its result hold only so long as we are able to disregard the influences of gravitational fields on the phenomena (e.g. of light). Albert Einstein - 1920. Light passing near the Sun slows down as measured from the Earth. But if one measured its speed on location in the gravitational field of the Sun, measurements done there would indicate the light was travelling at c due to the effect of the time dilatation there on the measurements. Why is there any contradiction here? Double-A |
