  • Constant Speed of Light: Just as Obviously Idiotic as 2+2=5

    From Pentcho Valev@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 7 14:21:23 2022
    Equidistant light pulses and an observer/receiver starts moving towards the source with speed v:

    https://www.einstein-online.info/wp-content/uploads/SRT_Dopplereffekt_Pulse_4_%C2%A9_Daniela_Leitner_Markus_Poessel_Einstein-Online.gif

    The speed of the light pulses relative to the observer shifts from c to c'=c+v, in violation of Einstein's relativity.

    The speed of the pulses relative to the observer will be calculated to remain constant, c'=c, and Einstein's relativity will be saved, if one postulates, ad hoc, that the distance between subsequent pulses somehow shifts from d to d'=dc/(c+v).

    The problem is that the ad hoc postulate is just as obviously idiotic as Big Brother's fundamental postulate 2+2=5.

    Here are two texts which, if taken seriously, would topple not only Einstein's relativity but the whole of modern physics:

    "Thus, the moving observer sees a wave possessing the same wavelength [...] but a different frequency [...] to that seen by the stationary observer." http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/315/Waveshtml/node41.html

    "Vo is the velocity of an observer moving towards the source. This velocity is independent of the motion of the source. Hence, the velocity of waves relative to the observer is c + Vo. [...] The motion of an observer does not alter the wavelength. The
    increase in frequency is a result of the observer encountering more wavelengths in a given time." http://a-levelphysicstutor.com/wav-doppler.php

    The motion of the observer does not alter the wavelength so frequency and speed of light vary proportionally, in accordance with the formula

    (frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

    and in violation of Einstein's relativity.

    Physics is a post-truth (post-sanity) science so no one is going to take the above texts seriously.

    The concept of VARIABLE wavelength of light https://youtu.be/3mJTRXCMU6o?t=77, a direct corollary of Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light falsehood, will be abandoned in future, Einstein-free physics. It violates the principle of relativity. If the
    wavelength varied, the emitter would measure the variations inside his spaceship and so would know his speed without looking outside.

    The formula

    (frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

    tolerates two axioms:

    Axiom 1: The speed of light is constant.

    Axiom 2: For a given emitter, the wavelength of light is constant.

    Axiom 1 killed physics.

    Axiom 2 will resurrect it (if it's not too late). Corollaries:

    Corollary 1: Any frequency shift entails (is caused by) a proportional speed-of-light shift.

    Corollary 2: If the emitter and the observer (receiver) travel towards each other with relative speed v, the speed of light as measured by the observer is c' = c+v, as per Newton's theory.

    Corollary 3: Spacetime and gravitational waves (ripples in spacetime) don't exist. LIGO's "discoveries" are fake.

    Corollary 4: Light falls in a gravitational field with the same acceleration as ordinary falling bodies - near Earth's surface the accelerations of falling photons is g = 9.8 m/s^2. Accordingly, there is no gravitational time dilation: Einstein's general
    relativity is absurd.

    Corollary 5: The Hubble redshift is due to light slowing down as it travels through vacuum. The universe is not expanding.
