According to the special theory of relativity, the aberration only
depends on the relative velocity v between the observer and the light
from the star.

"relative velocity v between the observer and the light from the
star."

Whic is always c , right?

I could not find that quote on that page. That quote is EXTREMELY poorly worded,
to the point of being wrong, as you point out.

Wikipedia did better, stating aberration "depends only on the observer's
instantaneous transverse velocity with respect to the incoming light beam, at
the moment of observation" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberration_of_light].
This is still rather loosely worded (in what frame is this measured?), but is
not wrong -- to apply SR one must select an inertial frame, and the obvious one
is that of the sun, in which one can apply this.


There are a lot of incorrect webpages on this, including the first one that came
up on a Google search for "stellar aberration relativity" (without quotes). At a
quick glance, the above Wikipedia article looks OK, as does the above mathpages
page.

Actually, that -very same- Wikipedia article was responsible for
the quote to which you objected, as well as the improved quote
that you cited.

Wikipedia is a valuable, though frequently unreliable resource,
and one must keep one's guard up when using it...

I have always wondered about this "light beam" and also the "ray of
light"
Lets see the Wicklepedia

Ray of Light is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter
Madonna, released on March 3, 1998 by Maverick Record

From the side, a beam of light is only visible if part of the light is
scattered by objects: tiny particles like dust, water droplets (mist,
fog, rain), hail, snow, or smoke, or larger objects such as birds. If
there are many objects in the light path, then it appears as a
continuous beam, but if there are only a few objects, then the light
is visible as a few individual bright points. In any case, this
scattering of light from a beam, and the resultant visibility of a
light beam from the side, is known as the Tyndall effect

What is the objection to the ballistic theory of light when it comes
to stellar abberation?

If you throw a photon off a moving train, you will have to angle your
telescope in order to catch have it enter the telescope.

Light moves at C through empty space. Energy can move below light
speed in space. It is thus possible for light to inch ahead of energy.

Gawd, he's gone completely gaga.
See, Wilson, there is this telescope we've had for some time now, called
the Hubble Space Telescope, or "Hubble" for short, and it is above
atmosphere. So any argument about atmosphere is irrelevant. It still
experiences abberation, though.

"The aberration of light (also referred to as astronomical aberration or
stellar aberration) is an astronomical phenomenon which produces an apparent
motion of celestial objects about their real locations. It was discovered
and later explained by the third Astronomer Royal, James Bradley, in 1725,
who attributed it to the finite speed of light and the motion of Earth in
its orbit around the Sun."

Fields are quantized so the inverse square law must eventually break down.
Below the Wilson Density Threshold, 'holes of absolutely nothing' form.
In those, EM is 100% ballistic.

ALL velocities MUST BE specified relative to a particular frame.


It says that the speed of light is c wrt its source.

Of course.

The HST is orbiting Earth and its orbit plane is the same as the earth's around
the sun? Are you suggesting that aberration for HST should be defined as that
when the telescope is farthest from the sun?
That's OK. It will then be moving at 37 kms/sec relative to the sun.

That's right, fuckhead.
That's why there is a thing called the 'aberration constant'. Why don't you
read about it.

That sounds like we can't get far enough from anything to see other
than 377 ohms. It is certainly not supportive of any anomalous EM
behaviour
in "truly empty space" as you suggested.

That requires particle-light and a theory of inertia.

The first is never observed. The second you have never

No... The motion to the source is not mentioned.

Constant as in cos(wt) is "constant".
This particular effect is known as annual aberration or stellar aberration,
because it causes the apparent position of a star to vary periodically over
the course of a year. The maximum amount of the aberrational displacement of
a star is approximately 20 arcseconds in right ascension or declination.
Although this is a relatively small value, it was well within the
observational capability of the instruments available in the early
eighteenth century.
You must be an Einstein dingleberry, fuckwad.
Why don't you read about it, shit for brains?

The aberration constant, about 20 arc seconds, has been around for centuries.

How long has the HST been up? It will be interesting to see if hubble produces
exactly the same aberration angles as those of ground telescopes.

Andersen reckons it is possible to measure variations in that angle to better
than about 0.01% and so refute source dependency.
This is sheer madness considering that to measure annual aberration at all, a
number of other aberration effects have to be considered as well.

You believe in relativity but apply special frame of reference to

That's the flap on the left for dumb ozzies who may not know what a door is.

See, Wilson, the telescope is quite close to the Earth so it is in sunlight
a lot
of the time. When someone wants to reorient it the door is closed in case
the manouvre accidentally causes it to face the Sun.

Since 1990. It is about due to be decommissioned after 20 years.

It can't, it has its own velocity around the Earth. The aberration angle
of a planet or star in the zodiac is reversed six months later because
Earth is travelling in the opposite direction, and the aberration for HST
is reversed every 48 minutes (added onto the aberration for Earth.
There is another aberration for the ground telescope with a 12 hour
period caused by the Earth's axial rotation, but it's very small.

Andersen forgets that for any realistic v, c+v is very close to c anyway.
If 20.626480659087103378195333865304 arc seconds
is obtained from arcsin (30/300,000) * 3600
then
20.624418217258503065471891373324 arc seconds
for arcsin(30/300030) * 3600, a difference of
0.0020624418286003127234424919840547 arc seconds.

In terms of parallax that's 0.0067 light years, 2.46 light days,
59 light hours, 45 times the distance to Saturn.
As usual, Andersen is talking out of his arse. But you do too.

I can check the arithmetic. You never were any good at basic schoolboy
trigonometry. The maximum amount of the aberrational displacement of
a star is approximately 20 arcseconds.

What a pity ozzie sheep-shaggers never learnt trigonometry.
The sun is half a degree, which means you can obtain its diameter
if you know its distance; you'd take a fucking tape measure to it.

Jupiter has an angular diameter between 30-49 arc seconds, which
means you can count fuckin' pixels and get 480/50 ~= 10 pixels per
arc second in this 480x480 picture
http://www.mallorcaweb.net/masm/Planetas/Jupiter.jpg
which means you can measure 0.1 arc seconds, so 20 arc seconds
for aberration ought to be fucking easy, its half the fucking planet,
you dim bastard.
But as I showed above, abberration is not the way to measure c+v,
you'd be looking for a difference of
0.0020624418286003127234424919840547 arc seconds which is
0.02 PIXELS!

That's why I suggested aberration measurements could be arrired out only at the

I found this article, which mentions that a water- filled telescope
was expected to behave differently from an air filled one.

This is one of the things about aberration that I do not understand.
If photons which have no length and mass hit a telescope lens at right
angles, how is filling it with water to make a difference? I don't
know why anyone even thought of it that way.

There is the Ether Drag Theory: NASA Laser Lunar Ranging

Analysis of the lunar ranging experiment in 2009 by D Gezari [5] [6]
prove the Sagnac effect as first order, and suggest either 'c' non-
constant or a quantum field 'ether' dragged by the planet. (wikipedia
Ether Drag)

Also, following the link:

The speed of laser light pulses launched from Earth and returned by a
retro-reflector on the Moon was calculated from precision round-trip
time-of-flight measurements and modeled distances. The measured speed
of light (c) in the moving observers rest frame was found to exceed
the canonical value c = 299,792,458 m/s by 200+/-10 m/s, just the
speed of the observatory along the line-of-sight due to the rotation
of the Earth during the measurements. This is a first-order violation
of local Lorentz invariance; the speed of light seems to depend on the
motion of the observer after all, as in classical wave theory, and
implies that a preferred reference frame exists for the propagation of
light. However, the present experiment cannot identify the physical
system to which such a reference frame might be tied.

Its not that hard.

The faster an object moves, the less aberration there is. That is easily
shown

Consider two object moving downward (on this page) at different speeds.
From an observer at rest wrt the page you'd see these paths (over time)

. o O
. o O
. o O
. O
. O


A moving observer would see

. o O
. o O
. o O
. O
. O

The faster moving O is less aberrated.

As light moves slower in water than air, then the light should show more
aberration in a water filled telescope

HST was not designed to do precise astrometry. Hipparcos was.

The Hipparcos catalog includes over 100,000 stars measured to
a median accuracy of about 0.001 arcseconds. The stars in this
catalog include LHS 50, with a radial velocity of 308 km/s, and
LHS 64, with a radial velocity of -260 km/s.

Differential aberration as predicted by emission theories
should have been easy to observe.

Conclusion: Light travels at constant c. Emission theories are
disproven, as usual.

Hipparcos could certainly see where a star was relative to other
stars in the same field. Actually, it could not only see where a
star was relative to others in the same field, it could do a
simultaneous double-check against stars in a field 58 degrees
separated from the original field.

Emission theory's prediction is that high-radial-velocity stars
such as LHS 50 and LHS 64 should have wandered up to 0.1" relative
to other stars in the same field due to differential aberration.

This gross effect was never observed. Hence emission theory is
disproven, AS ALWAYS.

Now, please explain your insane splutterings about atmospheric
refraction and its relevance to a discussion about aberration.

OK so far

At what angle does the light hit the telescope? 90 degrees? WHy should
that light be aberrated?

So we have moved from SRT is validated by billions of experiments to

That analysis is under debate?

Not nearly good enough.

Presumably, these velocities were calculated using conventional doppler shifts.
Even if they were correct, measuring aberration of such low inclination stars
with sufficient accuracy to refute BaTh is impossible.

I have pointed out previously that just about the whole of astronomy is
completely wrong because it is totally ignorant of the Wilson Acceleration
wavelength Shift (WaSh or ADoppler). Many stellar velocities are much smaller
than they appear when calculated by conventional methods.

It doesn't hit at 90 degrees .. gees .. it is aberated. This has been known
for a LONG time. But the water in a long tube does not change the
aberation.

The diagram is misleading if not completely wrong.

A telescope is "aimed" by positioning its dielectics

No, that diagram is right, showing that the light doesn't hit the telescope
at 90degrees, instead you need to tilt the telescope to other than 90
degrees for the light to be able to travel down the centre of the telescop
tube.

When tilted the light enters parallel to the telescope tube .. but filling
the tube with water (which slows the light) does not alter the angle of the
path down the tube.

That is what the experiment was testing.

I presume, therefore, that you deny the expansion of the universe?
Consider this Hubble Deep Field image:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hubble_ultra_deep_field_high_rez_edit.jpg

Distant galaxies receding from the Earth at, not mere hundreds of
km/sec, but HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF KILOMETERS PER SECOND, in
the same field of view as a sprinkling of foreground stars, the
result of 342 exposures taken over a ten day period, with the
Hubble Space Telescope going round and round and round and round
the Earth...

Galaxies and foreground stars are both razor sharp. Yet ballistic
theory predicts this to be impossible given the constantly
changing motions of the telescope.

So is the expansion of the universe a Willusion?

Parallel to the tube means 90 degrees to the lens. That is what I was

Why should filling the telescope with anything alter the angle of the

Why should a tube filled with air or water change the behavior of

================================================
Refractive index.
Contrary to popular belief, refractive index is a ratio between two
transparent
substances, not a property of one of them. We often use the default, either
vacuum or air, to talk about the refractive index of (say) glass or diamond
or
clear plastic, but water has its own refractive index and when you put it up
against the glass you change the angle of the light ray.

http://www.matter.org.uk/Schools/SchoolsGlossary/refractive_index.html

In other words if you fill a telescope with water you'll change the focal

Tomb&Jeery pulls the classic circular argument; the universe is expanding,
therefore those galaxies are rushing away, therefore the universe is
expanding.
And yet there are as many blue galaxies as there are red in the photograph.

He's trying to tell us a JPEG image is razor sharp. It looks blurred to me,
and I've had my eyes tested. I expect he's got cataracts. What he should
do is use Windows magnifier.
To open Magnifier, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories,

Well, as has already been explained to you, that spreading should only affect
the intensity of the light according to the inverse square law, not its
wavelength.

However, I will not brand you a complete idiot for making your claim since it
is indeed not entirely impossible that there could exist a small but yet
unknown interactive effect.

Well, as has already been explained to you, a beam of light doesn't
obey your inverse square law or you'd never be able to detect this puny
25 watt transmitter all the way from Saturn.
http://space.umd.edu/Projects/Cassini/cassini_config.jpg
Even a plane mirror would give you a 2/r^2 "law", and fortunately it has a
parabolic dish to knock your stupid inverse square "law" into a cocked
fuckin' hat!
Photons spray in all directions, that spread gives us the inverse square
law you know about, but once a photon is on its way it cannot obey
your "law". That's why it takes long exposure times to collect enough
photons for an image.
WAKE UP, AWILSON!

Of course. Provided the moving object ( I assume the photon) is

It doesn't really matter what angle it enters. Slowing it will CHANGE the
angle if it is aberrated.

I already showed you the diagram of how slowing an objects rate of descent
can change its aberration angle. Was there something you don't understand
about that?

As per the diagram you showed from wikipedia .. the light entering the tube
at 90-deg relative to the lens (not that you need a lens for this, just a
long tube), and the light having some 'sideways' component of velocity
relative to the tube.

So if light works in the way that the water-filled-tube was testing ( eg
like rain falling down as observed by a moving observer) then you should get
some change in the angle.

I already showed you the diagram of how slowing an objects rate of descent
can change its aberration angle. Was there something you don't understand

The HST tracking system automatically swings the telescope in an
ellipse of approximately 5" semi-major axis to accommodate
aberration. If red-shifted light from distant galaxies travels at
speeds lower than c, their ellipses will be very significantly
larger than the aberrational ellipses that nearby stars show, and
their images will be smeared out in a time exposure.

Ballistic theory is hence totally useless for explaining anything.

Hmmm! ...an ellipse....why not a cycloid?

I should imagine that an extra 0.001% 'smearing' would be far too small to be
noticed in images that are quite smeared anyway.

You are that naive, Awilson, I can make you cry by taking your lollipop.

When photons separate from each other, they change. "Why" is a matter

Beams of light do not obey your juvenile inverse square law bigotry, and
light from distant galaxies are photon streams that follow a beam, well,
as has already been explained to you.

You seem to be learning from ME.
I am the one who first put forward the theory that 'fields are quantized' and
the inverse square law must eventually break down....(beginning at the WDT)

Yeah, separation is unifuckation and they do in 3.5 light years from nearby
red-shifted stars instead of 14 Gly from red-shifted galaxies selected by
Hubble and his sidekick Awilson. Isn't it time for you to invent the Ahubble
constant and the Aeinstein cosmological constant after you've fucked with
Doppler? How about some Awilson dork matter as well?

Here is the photon entering the telescope

|0|

OK now did that photon come from a moving source (relative to the
telescope) or a stationary source (relative to the telescope) ?

If the telescope is aimed so that the photon is going straight down,
where is the sideways velocity of the photon? Why would filling the
telescope with water change the direction of the photon?

I understand aberration now.

You haven't any reference to prove I ever said that.
What I did say was all cepheid orbits were almost face on to Earth,
and I still do. There is no anomaly to be understood, that is consistent
with theory. If you are too stupid to understand basic trigonometry
that's your problem.

Well, many 'cepheids' ARE true pulsating stars. That's the only way I can
simulate the 1st harmonic. So in that respect you could argue that they are
always face on. It is reasonable to assume that the radial velocity of
huff-puff star has very similar characteristics to those of a star in
elliptical orbit. The same kind of gravity law applies to the forces that cause
the movement along our LOS. Even the inertia and viscosity of the moving gases
should cause a drag effect that more or less fits in with the 'YAW' angle
concept.

That doesn't mean that many socalled cepheids are NOT just orbiting stars.
But by far the majority of curves of that nature slope to the left...yaw -60
rather than +60.

What is most interesting is the fact that the calculated velocity curves have a
similar shape and phase to the corresponding brightness curves. Astronomers
cannot produce a theory to match this.

My ADoppler is the obvious explanation.

The answer is: each target and the bow are moving relative to each
other. The two scenarios are equivalent.

Is this why I had such a problem with aberration? think of it
Androcles - you turn a telescope so light travels down straight down
it - and then you fill your telescope with water and expect the light
to bend one way or the other!

The predicted effects would depend on what you believe about the
properties of the presumptive aether.

Light traveling through water is slowed to about 3/4 of its
speed in air. But if you presume that the "aether wind" continues
blowing across just as hard as it did before, then the prediction
would be that the slower light gets deflected by a larger angle.

This wasn't seen to happen, so aether theorists came up with
desperate excuses to explain away the non-observance of this
effect, like "aether drag". Unfortunately, aether drag brought
along its own set of predictions, effects that were never seen.

If it came from a star and is measured measured on earth, then we know that
they are relatively moving.

If light were simple ballistic particles, then if it was coming from a
moving (or stationary)source aimed at a stationary telescope, then slowing
it down would *not* change its angle.

Evidently not, if you are still asking questions that someone who DID

===================================================
It doesn't matter if it is light or an arrow, the trigonometry is the same.
I see the Sun cross the sky every day, I see the Moon cross the sky
every night. Seems like both go around the Earth every 24 hours, yet
that's not right. Copernicus and Galileo had an uphill battle explaining
why it was wrong, and the same applies to Einstein's idiocy. It's all
about believing what you see. The arrow leaves the bow at 90 degrees
and hits the target at 60 degrees, that's a fact, and the angle depends
on the relative speed. The Earth goes around the Sun and the Moon
goes around the Earth, but doesn't do it in 24 hours, it takes a year
and it takes a month. How you understand it all depends on relative
speed.
The arrow has further to go in the target's frame of reference than
it does in the bow's frame of reference.
Target sees the speed of the arrow as sqrt(c^2 +v^2).
Bow sees the arrow's speed as c... there is no v!
(There is, of course, the target moves at v, but that get's ignored.)
Then along comes an idiot and says the speed of the arrow is c
in ALL frames of reference, we'll have to make time relative, and all
the other inert idiots believe him.

Lying again, as always. Every predicted effect of SR that has
been technologically feasible to observe, HAS been observed.

Unfortunately, DIRECT measurement of the most famous prediction
of SR, length contraction, is outside the realm of technological
feasibility. But the EFFECTS of length contraction have been
repeatedly observed on a routine basis.

Are you familiar with relativistic kinematics? Observed high
speed kinematics implies time dilation plus length contraction,
i.e. the entirety of the Lorentz transformations are required to
explain observed kinematics.

If you take two equal mass particles and shoot one at the other
so that they collide and rebound elastically, then, according to
Newtonian mechanics, conservation of energy plus conservation of
momentum means that they shoot off at right angles to each other.

In other words, allowing for the limitations of ascii art:
_
_/
_/
-----------------<_ 90 degrees
\_
\_

There are no ifs, ands, or buts about this prediction of Newtonian
kinematics. I can write out the proof for you, if you want. It's
easiest to explain if you are familiar with transforming back and
forth from center of mass coordinates, but it's not impossible to
"do it the hard way" if you aren't familiar with the concept.

The bottom applet on this page illustrates this rule:
http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/more_stuff/Applets/
Click on the link to "Two-dimensional collisions"

Anyway, what's found in particle accelerators is that collisions
do not obey Newtonian kinematics. In particular, the scattering
angle between two equal-sized particles is always LESS THAN 90
degrees.
__
___/
___/
-----------------<___ less than 90 degrees
\___
\__

This is impossible according to Newtonian kinematics, but is
explained exactly assuming the validity of special relativity.

REPEAT:
Observed kinematics is calculable as the result of time dilation
plus length contraction, i.e. the entirety of the Lorentz
transformations are required to explain the observed scattering
angles.

Of course you are. 2 = 1/0.5 isn't less than 1, is it, shithead?
