11. The relative speed of the observer must be added and subtracted from
the speed of light just as with the speed of sound if we are even to
qualify as rational at all.
A Relativist Beginning a Reasonable Defense of Relativity
We have to admit:
1. Parallel lines have not been proven to meet, so the universe and
space are not curved.
2. That space is not curved because it is a vacuum, not a substance.
3. That curved space cannot provide a cause of gravity.
4. We must decide whether to keep both the ether and the LT or discard
both.
5. Einstein never predicted a doubling of the deflection theoretically because he did not derive it from math or physics.
6. That a doubling would violate the findings of Galileo and Eotvos.
7. That the Newtonian result in Pound-Snider contradicts the doubling of deflection.
8. There is no equivalence in the equivalence principle, so it is pure nonsense.
9. That relative motion per se cannot cause all rates of change to
change in unison.
10. You cannot rescue an ad hoc hypothesis with an ad hoc rescue.
Now we are prepared to begin our defense of relativity!
11. The relative speed of the observer must be added and subtracted from
the speed of light just as with the speed of sound if we are even to
qualify as rational at all.
Richard Hachel:
(Not to be confused with anyone else.) It is true, as Socrates said that modesty ill-becomes a needy man.
To take space as a vacuum and not speak of the abstraction, then how is
it anisochronous?
It is not because there is no need for the LT unless you have an ether.
Unfortunately, Paul is not intelligent about logic, or he wouldn't have
an LT without an ether.
Relativity is an ugly, incoherent babble if you do not presume an ether
and time dilation.
Your assertion about anisochrony is mistaken.
Richard Hachel:
My statement about anisochrony is one of the finest jewels of scientific thought.
However, you ask an important question: "But if there is no ether, what
do photons and particles in general surf on?"
I will answer that since 1905 and Poincaré, the physicist no longer
needs the notion of ether for a second, and he can convince himself that between here and there (apart from a few hydrogen atoms that wander
around), there is nothing but emptiness, and no detectable or palpable support.
Now, emptiness does not mean nothingness.
If we remove all the matter from the universe, between A and B,
something nevertheless remains: space and time.
This thing on which photons or particles in general surf, is not matter,
it is not ether, it is just TIME.
R.H.
Richard Hachel: The LT presumes an ether wind affects the light just as
a current in a river affects a ship. It is invalid without an ether.
The LT is based on the ether and is pointless without it, just as it
would be pointless to use it to calculate the time it takes for a boat
to cross a pond without a current. You are necessarily presuming an
ether wind exists to conclude there is anisochrony.

No serious model cares about "relative speed of
observer" and no serious model ever will.
For most of our real activities we use
geocentric model. Heliocentric and ECi are
also important. "Relative speed of observer"
is just another gedanken absurd.
Wozniak: It is a known fact that the relative motion of the Sun and
Sirius is -5.5 m/sec as they are moving towards each other. It is not
known which is moving towards which.
This is known from the frequency of the light waves. If the Sun is
moving towards Sirius, this shortens the frequency as certainly as
Sirius moving towards the Sun. Take just the case of the Sun moving
towards Sirius. Then, the frequency is shorter
because the speed of the starlight from Sirius is C + 5.5 m/sec.
"Any ray of light moves in the 'stationary' system of co-ordinates
with the determined velocity c, whether the ray be emitted by a
stationary or by a moving body." ―Albert Einstein 1905
