Doppler shift is evidence for varying speed of light. |
Doppler shift is evidence for varying speed of light.
Why?
Because the wave length of a specific light source remains constant in
all frames and thus according to the equation:
speed of light = Lambda*frequency
Therefore, If frequency is shifted then the speed of light is varied.

The problem is that all three of SR, BaT, and IRT predict
a wavelength shift from moving source to stationary observer.
The question is: how much?

NO....IRT does not predict wavelength shift. IRT predicts the wave length
from identical light source remains constant in all frames. Any observed
doppler shift is due to the varying speed of light.

Hey stooopid, CPU photolithography is done under water to compress the
exposing wavelength at constant frequency. This allows
diffraction-limited resolution at smaller scales for the same light
source. At the sodium D-line it is a compression factor of 1.333, at
400 nm it is 1.3445, at 226.5 nm it is 1.394. It increases in the
deep UV and the near-IR (n=1.53 at 500 cm^(-1), Appl. Opt. 28
1714-1719 (1989)).

Speed of light is *DEFINED* constant. It may not *BE* quite constant,
although for all intents and purposes we've measured as such prior
to 1983, and presumably still attempt to show its isotropy today,
within a certain error -- probably 10^-13 or so by now, but I'd
frankly have to look.
However, one has to be careful in curved metric spaces, lest an
inconsistent length basis be used between point A, which might be,
say, at the top of a mountain, and point B, which is at the base.
Such effects, at least from what I can see, appear extremely
tiny, at least here on Earth. Near a black hole's event horizon,
though, things will get *very* strange.

Here's an article I thought was interesting.
"Test of special relativity by a determination of the Lorentz limiting
velocity: Does E=mc^2?" by Greene, Dewey, Kessler, and Fischbach, Phys Rev
D 44, R2216 (1991).
Abstract: We describe a method by which existing precision measurements
may be used to provide a new laboratory test of the special theory of
relativity. In this test the speed of light c_em is compared with the
limiting velcity of massive particles, c_m. Although it is conventionally
assumed that c_em=c_m=c. this need not be the case in phenomenological
alternatives to special relativity. Our results impose limits on the
quantity (1-c_m/c_em). Unlike null tests of special relativity, this
limit does not depend on assumptions concerning the motion of the
laboratory with respect to a preferred frame.
They find, as of 1991, that (1-c_m/c_em) = 1(12)e-6.
Oddly enough, in all of the "Einstein was wrong" discussions I've payed
attention to here, I don't think I've ever seen the assertion that c_em
!= c_m. And this article was published in a peer-reviewed journal, too.

If you're referring to Uncle Al's citations then, ironically, you are
still wrong. In a transition to a material of a different index of
refraction, what is held constant is frequency, the speed of light
through the medium changes, and so the wavelength changes. This is a
crucial consideration not only for the cases that Uncle Al cites, but
also in non-reflective coatings for the glasses which apparently do
nothing for your myopia.

That possibility is ruled out by experiment. Here is the mechanism for
nonreflective coatings. The way those work is that light incident on
the front surface of the coating splits, some reflecting from the front
of the coating and some reflecting off the back of the coating and then
coming out the front of the coating again. Those two wave contributions
then superimpose and the total light is the result of the interference
of those contributions. Because the light that has to reflect off the
back of the coating has further to go (twice the thickness of the
coating), the two waves in general will not be completely in phase. In
fact, if the thickness is arranged to be 1/4 of a wavelength, then the
difference in path length will be 1/2 wavelength, and the two
contributions will be completely out of phase and they will cancel each
other, almost entirely eliminating reflected light.
The trick to doing this right is to discover that the thickness has to
be 1/4 of the wavelength of the light *in the coating*, which is
shorter than the wavelength in the surrounding air (or vacuum) by the
factor n (index of refraction). If you don't take that into account,
the non-reflective coating isn't non-reflective. That is a simple
experiment to verify and is verified in people's eyeglasses and camera
lenses every day.
Glad to tie up that loose shoelace for you.

It rules out your claim above that inside the material nothing

Sheesh....it does not rule out my claim at all. Inside the material clocks
runs at a different rate. Thus frequency, wavelength and light speed will
maintain the same ratio as outdise the material.
Now if you will admit that this is
wrong, we will presently turn to what is wrong with interpreting
Doppler shift as a change in light speed.
Doppler shift is a change in light speed. This statement cannot be refuted
because all observers measures the same wavelength for identical light
source in their frame. There is no valid reason why the wavelength should
change on its way to the observer. There is valid reason why light speed
changes if the observer is moving wrt the incoming light.

No I have not given up the ether. The reason why wave length remain constant
is because light waves are being transmitted by a stationary ether at a
constant speed. Doppler shfit is due to the observer moving wrt to these
light waves.
MMX:
c+u
f' = f --------------,
c+v
from Doppler.
u = v, the source has the same speed as the detector.
Hence f' = f, no fringe shift.
Wrong the MMX null result is due to the apparatus is moving vertically wrt
the horizontally moving light rays. This interpretation is supported by the
Pound-Rebka experiments.

c is the limit for evry observer.
Even the observer at the edge of huble constant .
At the edge of Hubble constant 15 billion light years away the star is
moving away from us at c .
DS is a strait line .
Then out side the visible universe the star is invisible to us . Its
speed from us is faster than light speed. But c is still light speed.
Even to the star that went past hubble c from us , its light speed is
constant c .
Dark energy is the energy presure of stait line energy.
c is the rate energy will react with energy .
there is more light with no wavelenth at all inside the visible
universe than there is space.
BGR is light from near c stars at the edge of the hubble constant.
After that its an undetectable stait line .

You are a very stupid person. Pound and Rebka show that the direction of

is in the vertical direction. This means that my interpretation of the MMX

Hey idiot....Faa/Fab is not equal to (1-v/c)
Let me walk through this very slowly. Assume for an instant the
postulates of nBaT:
[1] Light is c relative to the source.
[2] Time and space are absolute; all clocks remain synchronized no
matter what their motion, and all lengths remain the same as well.
Now radiate a spherical wavefront from a source at rest, of frequency
299.792458 MHz so that the wavefronts are exactly 1 m distance apart.
An observer moving at velocity v directly away from the source will
only be hit by
299792458 * (c-v) /c
of these wavefronts every second.
Granted, this is using nBaT, not using IRT/MM. If one uses standard
SR, whose postulates are:
[1] Light is c (TWLS) relative to source and observer.
[2] Time and space twist to accomodate [1].
then one gets a frequency ratio of sqrt(1-v/c) / sqrt(1+v/c), after
a lot of calculation of which one gets as an intermediary the
Lorentz Transformation. It's not hard to rederive though I'll
refer you to some of my previous posts.
If IRT/MM is an upgrade of SR one has a consistency problem, as
far as I can tell anyway.
MMX:
c+u
f' = f --------------,
c+v

u = v, the source has the same speed as the detector.

Seto also doesn't understand the notion of a theoretical
prediction. One can of course easily measure Fab/Faa
in a physical experiment, but IRT/MM doesn't even try to
predict its value, apparently, whereas SR, nBaT, and even
rLaT have no difficulty, although rLaT has to introduce
an additional velocity component because of the rigid aether.
SR: Fab/Faa = sqrt(1-v/c)/sqrt(1+v/c)
rLaT: Fab/Faa = (1-v/c-w/c)/(1-w/c)
nBaT: Fab/Faa = (1-v/c)
IRT/MM: Fab/Faa = ... uh ...
(Note that this is for the (x,t) variant. For the (x,y,z,t) variant
vector addition and trigonometry gets involved.)
I have seen additional theories:
HA = H-Aether
PPJT = Probabilistic Particle Jump Theory (Louis Savain)
DLoL = Dedanoe's Law of Lever
but they don't even get this far.

Hey idiot the MMX has no shift because the plane of the light rays is

Seto doesn't understand Pound and Rebka
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Rebka.html
o polarization is not an issue
o there is no "absolute" motion
Seto also doesn't understand the notion of a theoretical
prediction. One can of course easily measure Fab/Faa
in a physical experiment, but IRT/MM doesn't even try to
predict its value, apparently, whereas SR, nBaT, and even
rLaT have no difficulty, although rLaT has to introduce
an additional velocity component because of the rigid aether.
SR: Fab/Faa = sqrt(1-v/c)/sqrt(1+v/c)
rLaT: Fab/Faa = (1-v/c-w/c)/(1-w/c)
nBaT: Fab/Faa = (1-v/c)
IRT/MM: Fab/Faa = ... uh ...
(Note that this is for the (x,t) variant. For the (x,y,z,t) variant
vector addition and trigonometry gets involved.)
Fucking idiot...you don't even know how to measure relative velocity.
OK. Go ahead and illustrate how to properly measure
relative velocity. You are allowed mirrors, lasers,
rulers (or rods), and timers. Note that O and A only
know the length of their own rulers.
Here's several ways, using standard SR principles.
A places his rod with endpoints 0 and -L in his space. (He
is moving with a positive velocity.) The farpoint of A's
rod has a mirror.
At time 0 he notes O is coincident with him.
At time t he sees O's flash in the farpoint mirror.
The computation of A's velocity relative to O is
v = L/(t - L/c)
= Lc/(tc - L)
This works because A knows that O's light will be moving
at c relative to his rod, regardless of what v actually is.
All A has to do is compensate for the time the light takes
to get to him from his mirror, a known length away from him.
Bear in mind that SR makes absolutely no distinction between
standard length and light-length (although it does make a
distinction between O's spacetime coordinate and A's
spacetime coordinates).
Another method is possible, but requires O have a mirror.
A beams a frequency reference to his mirror, and measures
the frequency ratio r (= Fab/Faa in your notation).
He then computes v=c(1-r)/(1+r). This works because one
can consider O's mirror to be a re-emitter of A's light,
and the ratio is therefore the square of the ratio
sqrt(1-v/c)/sqrt(1+v/c). Note that r is assumed < 1.
Another method uses the *wavelength* ratio, which in SR is
simply the reciprocal of the frequency ratio. It's harder
to measure but should work well enough; wavelength * frequency = c
always everywhere.
Still other methods measure beam power and per-photon energy.
Since the energy of each photon is directly proportional
to frequency in SR, one gets the same value as frequency
or wavelength. Beam power gets affected by the time twist,
but one can compensate. I'd have to work it out, and
it's a slightly unusual measurement anyway.
Which of these (if any) are right in IRT/MM? *None* of these
will work in nBaT, though the lightrod measurement could
be modified:
v = L/(t - L/(c-v))
v(t - L/(c-v)) = L
vt - vL/(c-v) = L
vt(c-v) - vL = L(c-v)
vt(c-v) - vL - L(c-v) = 0
v^2 - cv + Lc/t = 0
v = c/2-c*sqrt(1-4(L/t)^2)/2
This is wrong because nBaT is wrong but it's what nBaT requires.
