Each and every observer sees the emission of light as if they had a
personal ether . This personal ether, like still air, is stationary
with respect to the observer. Light travels as if it is attached to
this ether and speeds along at a constant velocity to the observer and
the ether.

If a stone skips across a pond, the ripples that radiate from its
point of impact spread evenly in all directions from the point of
impact, the observer being stationary with respect to the pond. It
does not matter which way the stone was moving, as the speed of
radiation of the waves from the point of impact is independent of the
velocity of the stone.

Is this the way light behaves?

In SR, each frame of reference is its own personal pond.

I have a concept I call Aether Displacement. In Aether Displacement
everyone is moving with respect to THE 'pond'. Light travels at 'c'
with respect to the 'pond'. The 'pond', in AD, is the aether.

This is called "dragged aether".

No. The entire "aether" must appear as if it is at rest with every
observer, or matter propagates through the aether just as light does,
or there is no aether.

Aether pressure must be equally applied in order for there to be
momentum. Matter does not propagate. Waves do. Matter does travel with
respect to the aether. Light waves propagate at 'c' with respect to
the aether.

Resurrect Lorentz and Einstein, and make your goody-*ssed argument
with them. What they said about the aether works experimentally, and
your voodoo physics makes sense only to you.

I'm agreeing with Einstein.

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places"

No....the aether is stationary and all the objects in the universe are
moving in the stationary aether. The speed of light is independent of
the motion of the source. IOW once a photon is emitted in the aether
by the source its speed is independent of the motion of the source.
The speed of light is a constant math ratio in all frames as follows:
Light path length of the observer ruler is assumed to be its physical
length of (299,792,458 m)/the absolute time content for a clock
second co-moving wth the ruler.

You are lying. "Matter does not propagate" fails what Einstein and
Lorentz said. Go back to your soap box.

A small clarification must be made - for the purposes of visualizing
the effects of SRT, it is AS IF an observer situated in an ether
stationary to that observer. I agree that "The entire "aether" must
appear as if it is at rest with every observer..."

This the stone in the pond illustration.In any case 'the velocity of
light is independant of the velocity of the source of light ' do we
all agree?

For those who do, how can you then explain this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

See the diagram in : "Simple inference of time dilation due to
relative velocity"

This is NOT necessary to visualize SRT, unless you insist in splicing
back in that which 100 years of physics has shown to be no more than a
mental crutch.

Which is not possible, and agree with experiment.

Not all will agree. Certainly Androcles is of the Newtonian camp, and
will not agree.

Sure. Duration and distance are two sides of the same coin. If one
sees more of one, one sees less of the other.

The insistence in "visualization" in terms of 2 or 300 year old
popular notion is going to hamper your personal growth. I'd like to
recommend you get and read "Spacetime Physics" by Taylor and Wheeler.

Matter travels and waves propagate is better semantics. As I said
previously, I agree with Einstein:

Clocks 'tick' based upon the aether pressure in which they exist. For
example, if the embankment is at rest with respect to the aether and
the train and embankment are moving relative to one another and they
both occupy the same three dimensional space then the train is less at
rest with respect to the aether than is the embankment.

We have three Observers at M' on the train. They all synchronize their
clocks at 12:00:00. As the Observer walks a clock to B' the clock is
being walked against the 'flow' of the aether. This causes there to be
an additional pressure applied to the clock by the aether and the
clock being walked to B' 'ticks' slower than the clocks at M' and the
clock being walked to A'. The clock being walked to A' is being walked
with the 'flow' of the aether and is under less aether pressure than
both the clock at M' and the clock being walked to B'.

When the clocks get to A', M', and B' they will read 12:00:03,
12:00:02, and 12:00:01, respectively. When a lightning strike occurs
at M', at 12:00:02, the light wave propagates against the 'flow' of
the aether and takes four seconds to reach B'. When the light wave
arrives at B', the clock at B' reads 12:00:05. The light wave
propagates with the 'flow' of aether and takes two seconds to reach
A'. The clock at A' reads 12:00:05 when the light arrives at A'. There
are mirrors at A' and B'. The light is reflected by the mirror at A'
and since the light wave is propagating against the 'flow' of the
aether the light wave takes four seconds to reach M'. The light wave
is reflected by the mirror at B' and since the light wave is
propagating with the 'flow' of the aether the light wave takes two
seconds to arrive at M'. The light from the original lightning strike
at M' arrives simultaneously from A' and B' and the clock at M' reads
12:00:08 when the light wave reaches M'.

Let' see

This is a light bulb.

0

This light bulb is moving

t=1 0

t=2 0

t=3 0


This light bulb is switched on and giving off light at t =3

The | shows a wavefront or photons. Only light emitted parallel to the
x- axis is shown

t=1 0

t=2 0

t=3 | 0 |

t=4 | |

t=5 | |


Where is the light source? Since the the speed of light is independent
of the motion of the source it does not matter - but I will draw it
in

t=1 0

t=2 0

t=3 | 0 |

t=4 | 0 |

t=5 | 0 |

Now for the light in the vertical y direction


t=1 0

t=2 0


_
t=3 0

_

t=4

t=5


Where is the light source? Since the velocity of light is independent
of the motion of the source , does it matter?

But the situation I described would not take place if ballistic
theory was correct. If light behaves for each observer as if the
observer was stationary with respect to a universal ether, then it
still contradicts the Wikipedia illustration of the light bouncing up
an down at an angle relative to the observer who is viewing a moving
light source. The movement of the light source has nothing ( except
for the doppler effect?) to do with the direction of light as viewed
by the observer - why should it? What is the meaning of independent?

A vertical light beam remains vertical in all frames. It takes the same time to
get to the top no matter how many observers look at it.

Its only similar to such a silly notion wrt the speed of light being always
c. Of course, that does not explain how different observers all have the
same light travelling at c. You get nonsense from a personal universal
aether in that case.

Yes it does. And it travels diagonally in the frame of a relatively moving

That's not a light beam and it isn't vertical in the source frame.

To simulate a light beam you have to fire a stream of arrows all with their

Psychiatric definition

Although non-specific concepts of madness have been around for several
thousand years, the psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers was the
first to define the three main criteria for a belief to be considered
delusional in his 1917 book General Psychopathology. These criteria
are:
certainty (held with absolute conviction)
incorrigibility (not changeable by compelling counterargument or proof
to the contrary)
impossibility or falsity of content (implausible, bizarre or patently
untrue)

A single arrow is good enough .. it is aligned perpendicular to the bow in
all frames .. just as a beam of light is. A stream of arrows would do the
same, and wouldn't really make it any clearer.

The arrow also moves in the same direction it is pointing in the rest frame
of the bow, but moves diagonally in a relatively moving frame (obviously
excluding a frame moving in the same or opposite direction as the arrow).

That is also how light beams behaves wrt alignment and direction of travel.

(Although you had some time ago said that beams remains vertical and move
sideways, rather than diagonally, and argued that point against me for many
posts .. until you eventually gave up and later decided to agree with me ..
and then lied and said I'd been saying the opposite .. typical Henry
behaviour).

But on the few occasions when you are right (like you are now) you are
right.

Androcles should choose his battles more carefully .. there is plenty of
scope for pointing out when you really ARE wrong. I guess he's too stupid
to know the difference.

PET is only a framework for thinking about how an observer sees a
moving light source, in a way that agrees with SRT. It has nothing to
do with reality. You can say it is a subset of SRT for the single
observer and a light source.

The velocity of light is independent of the source

The speed at which light propagates in vacuum is independent both of
the motion of the light source and of the inertial frame of reference
of the observer _wikipedia

It shows how each 'arrow' moves along a unique diagonal path. It shows that the
arrows DO NOT align themselves one behind the other along any single diagonal.

This crucial to understanding Einstein's stupidity, since an observer in the
moving frame can project a real light beam in that diagonal direction. In that
case a stream of 'arrows' DOES line up along that diagional and move at c in
that frame.
The arrow shafts are pointed in entirely different directions in the two cases.
I illusttrated this in my demo www.scisite.info/movingframe.exe

I didn't agree with YOU. You finally saw a glimmer of light and half agreed
with me. The shafts don't point diagonally and no line of arrows travels along
a single diagonal path...and definitely not at c. There is no resulting
diagonal light beam in the moving frame unless someone at rest in that frame
shines one diagonally. that one DOES move at c wrt that frame.

What example or gedanken are you talking about here? Which frame is the

Are you talking about an observer at rest aiming a light beam diagonally at
some target (maybe a mirror) that is not directly opposite him? I'm not
sure what you are actually talking about as you've not set up the scenario
beforehand

So where is the contradiction?

There is an obvious one between what two different observers see if each of
them claims to have a personal aether in which light travels at c, but
without the Lorentz transforms applying

I'm not sure if it is that internal inconsistency in a PET that you are
referring to.

Not exactly .. the SPEED of light is independent of the source .. but not
the direction.

Yes .. the SPEED .. but not NOT the direction. It is a not uncommon mistake
for students to think that the light speed being independent means it cannot
get a component of its direction from the motion of the light source.

I'm quite clear. In the moving frame, each arrow is plotted moving diagonally
with its shaft vertical. If the moving observer shines a laser in that diagonal
direction, he gets a 'line of arrows', one behind the other all with their
shafts diagonally aligned and moving at c along that diagonal.....a different
situation altogether.

To the moving observer, each element of an arrow appears to move along a single
diagonal. He shines a real laser beam along that diagonal.

It is NOT a ligth beam. That is my point. The diagonal laser beam is...but its

It osn't a light piulse. It is an infinitesimal element of a light pulse. There

Just as a beam of light would be.

So now we have an at-rest bow shooting out arrows vertically, and a
horizontally moving observer watching them each follow a diagonal path while
each (and the whole stream of arrows) remaining vertically aligned.

Yes .. of course it is different, the observer's beam is aligned in the
direction of travel, whereas the arrows are not.

If the moving observer was also shooting arrows, they would have to be shot
out faster in his frame than the vertical arrows do in the rest frame if
they were to hit the target at the same time, as they have further to travel
in his frame (a diagonal path) than do the vertical arrows do in the rest
frame (a vertical path).

How any of what you say has any relevance to what Einstein says is as yet
still unclear. Do you have a point?

Yes .. it does. I spent a long time telling you this before.

Yes .. the stream of arrows is aligned vertically and has a diagonal path
(according to a moving observer)

Just as the beam of light is aligned vertically and has a diagonal path
(according to a moving observer)

A vertical beam is not the same as a diagonal beam. But then, that doesn't
have anything to do with light clocks etc, which are sending single photons
(the little balls you talked about before). How streams of them are aligned
doesn't matter.

Once again Awilson does a Phuckwit Duck and tells us that a light

What else would you like to say something isn't?
How about Awilson isn't sane?

That's an arrow, shithead, and it is orthogonal to the x-axis.

Awilson the anti likes to use headless crocodiles.

To the moving observer, each arrow is nose-to-tail with its predecessor and
moves perpendicular to the target's movement. Awilson the demented senile
anti is too fuckin' stupid to understand the road moves while he stays still

his car. He shines a real laser beam at a right angle to the direction of

Well you didn't understand it. They don't, they move at c along their
perpendicular paths and the road sign intercepts the beam.

It is somewhat important. Arrows have shafts. I say photons have similar axes.

Not 'just as'. A beam of light has many arrows.

So why should each 'arrow' move at c when its axis is NOT aligned with its
direction of travel (in the moving frame)?

There is no justification in claiming that it should.

But they don't hit the target in the same time.

...do you mean to say you still haven't got it after all this time....

The vertical arrows move diagonally at sqrt(c^2 + v^2) in the moving frame, NOT
c. It takes the same time to reach the target. Einstein says it moves at c and
takes longer. THis is the principle behind his whole bloody theory.
This is where his fictitious 'time dilation' is supposed to originate.

I FUCKING KNOW THAT.
I'm telling you why it must be bullshit.
The 'arrows' move diagonally and have vertical shafts. The photons move
diagonally but have DIFUCKINGAGONAL shafts.

I repeat. THERE IS NO SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE TWO.

THE STREAM DOES not HAVE A DIAGONAL PATH.
Each element of the stream has a different diagonal path.

The individual elements of the beam have an infinite number of diagonal paths.

The moving observer is sitting on the target.
He sees a vertical steam of arrows moving towards him. Only one will hit him
...with its shaft diagonal to him. So it might bounce off.

THe laser light takes the same time to cross the bloody road no matter how fast

The speed that light travels has nothing to do with some 'axis'.

In case you hadn't noticed .. the gedanken with a light clock is to examine
what would happen *IF* SR's 2nd postulate were true.

You can look at the same scenario and examine what would happen *IF* SR's
second postulate were false.

The only way to find out which is correct is to do some experiments.
Experiments say light behaves as SR says it would.

It depends on how fast the arrows are .. as I just explained. If you assume
that the arrows travel at the same speed wrt their bows, then they won't ..
unless they are travelling at 'c' and Lorentz transforms apply.

Indulge me and explain.

If SR postulates do not apply .. yes they would be faster in the moving
frame. As I said above, you can analyses the scenario with either SR
postulates (applying to arrows travelling at c) or not.

> It takes the same time to reach the target.

If you analyse it assuming SR postulates are not correct.

If you analyse it assuming SR postulates *are* correct. And whether or not
it is a longer time depends on whose clock you are using

And so it does, as it is required for things to not be self-contradictory.

If you assume SR postulates and insist that there is NO time dilation, then
you get problems. Of course, we know experimentally that time dilation DOES

It is only bullshit if you insist that it is false. ie. if you insist that
Lorentz transforms do not apply, then SR postulates DO NOT WORK.

Of course it does

And the stream as a whole has a diagonal path parallel to the diagonal paths
of each component.

Are you saying you cannot determine the path taken by a car . .even if you
know the path each part of the car follows? Are only infinitely small
things able to have a path?

If the stream doesn't follow a diagonal path .. what path DOES it follow?

Indeed they do .. all parallel .. and all parallel to the path of the beam.
if the source keep emitting, the beam also gets longer(from the 'bottom') as
it moves in a diagonal path.

So that means that if it travels at c, that time must not pass at the same
rate in both frames. You do realize the gendanken is analyzed on the
assumption the SR's postulates are true, to show what implications such
assumptions have.

irrelevant.

I have told you a thousand times.
You don't seem to have any idea. A path is a line. It has zero width.

Every infintesimal element of the beam follows a different diagonal line.
NO COMPLETE, CONTINUOUS LIGHT BEAM MOVES ALONG A SINGLE DIAGONAL.

I will not tell you again.
You are deliberately acting dumb and wasting my time.

That's right

So you claim no actual object (like an arrow) can have a path .. only
infinitesimally small ones.

You seemed to be able to talk about the path the arrows were taking before
though. Hmm. Sounds like you're just bullshitting and have been caught out

No .. it is totally relevant .. because it shows you are WRONG .. yet again.

Of course it does. But it is not oriented along that path. Just like the
arrow follows a diagonal path without being aligned along that path.

Correct. The observer is always at rest, he never leaves the orgin
of his own frame of reference. There are no moving observers,
dumbfuck, not even you. That's why I drew both a moving bow
and a moving target. The stationary observer is on the stationary
target. However, I have provided a boxcar with a Wilson Ladder,
named for you.

Now you can climb vertically if the car moves. You'll be famous

Yeah, anyone else can zoom up a ladder at one rung a second, but
you'd drag your feet and only manage 60 rungs a minute; and your
ladder isn't as steep, but at least you'll be climbing vertically -- in
the frame of the track.

You are the one that wants the arrows to be vertical and tip to tail
going up the ladder when the train is moving.


Einstein never claimed arrows have to align themselves one behind

the other along any single diagonal, although what the fuck he has to
do with it is a mystery. This is crucial to understanding Awilson's
dementia.

Photons have no mass, and no length. So I don't think talking of arrow
shafts makes any sense

The Wilson ladder is interesting. Now for an observer on the the
tracks, what will be the speed of Wilson w that he measures? If the
train is moving right to left at speed v?

Speed of Wilson moving on the vertical ladder will be the diagonal
distance moved by Wilson ( use Pythaogras theorem ) divided by time:
(sqrt (wt^2 + vt^2))/t

Speed of Wilson moving on the angled ladder but looking as if he is
moving directly upwards (the angled ladder so placed that he will
appear to move vertically upwards with no sideways motion) will be the
height of the car divided by the time it takes to reach the top of the
car.

Now it all depends if the Speed of Wilson is constant, that he always
moves at that speed and only at that speed. (no offence Henry)

If this is so, then equal distances will have to be moved in equal
times, which means that the Wilson climbing the vertical ladder will
not reach the top of the train by the time the Wilson who is climbing
the angled ladder reaches the top as seen by the observer on the
track.

Am I right?

I think the idea there is that if the train and climber are moving at
appropriate speeds (o a fairly slow train or a very fast climber), an
observer beside the tracks would see the climber follow a vertical path (but
the climber would be leant over at an angle. So over time one would see

Whereas a climber on the regular vertical ladder would always appear

As the distance between the midpoints of the rungs are farther apart on the
tilted ladder, one-rung-per-second is actually different speeds on the two
ladders. But it is the same rate of increase in height above the ground
(although you will have less height yourself due to leaning over to be
parallel with the ladder).

You can have the patent on Wilson's ladder, too. You are not going
to sell that stupidity to anyone except Einstein, he was almost as
deranged as you.

============================================
Oh right, sure. Very interesting to a chimpanzee with Alzheimer's.
Just out of view is a tree with a chimp in it and Wilson wanted to
rescue it, thinking it's a damsel in distress. The trouble was every
time he took a step up the ladder Androcles pushed the railcar
and took Wilson further away from his true love. So instead of
running along the roof of the car or even just yelling at the chimp
to jump, Wilson invented his ladder in case he ever meets her again.


============================================


Now for an observer on the the
tracks, what will be the speed of Wilson w that he measures? If the
train is moving right to left at speed v?

Speed of Wilson moving on the vertical ladder will be the diagonal
distance moved by Wilson ( use Pythaogras theorem ) divided by time:
(sqrt (wt^2 + vt^2))/t


Speed of Wilson moving on the angled ladder but looking as if he is
moving directly upwards (the angled ladder so placed that he will
appear to move vertically upwards with no sideways motion) will be the
height of the car divided by the time it takes to reach the top of the
car.

Now it all depends if the Speed of Wilson is constant, that he always
moves at that speed and only at that speed. (no offence Henry)

If this is so, then equal distances will have to be moved in equal
times, which means that the Wilson climbing the vertical ladder will
not reach the top of the train by the time the Wilson who is climbing
the angled ladder reaches the top as seen by the observer on the
track.

Am I right?

That's your idea of "interesting", is it?

If you stop at the first sentence, you miss out on reading that that
ballistic explanation was flawed and did not account for experimental
evidence.

I see. A the Anti is now siding with Einstein again. He said it would take
longer to climb the diagonal ladder because it was longer and I would travel at
the same speed up both.

The ladders have the same number of rungs.
I will climb at 1 rung per second on both ladders. Therefore will take me the
same time to get to the top whichever one I use.

I always climb at the rate of one rung per second.

No you don't, you blind bastard.

Are you? The enemy of my enemy isn't necessarily my friend. You want
to talk to Einstein, you go ahead.

Don't forget to lean to the left so that your nose touches the heels of
your clone, Henry Awilson the Anti.
