How Can Light NOT be Ballistic?

A remote atom in space emits a package of energy, as one of its electrons moves
to a different energy level. The package moves away from the atom in a
particular direction and continues on through space as ONE single unit.

We could just as easily replace the single 'photon' with a brief pulse of laser
light...or a sudden burst of light from a star.

We know that such a pulse retains its character as it travels across vast
distances. Its eventual target, if any, is unknown. We also know that we could
set up an experiment to show that it takes a finite amount of time to travel
between any two points in space.

In fact, the pulse behaves exactly like any other missile. It is ballistic.

Except it doesn't, and you know it.

Photons are not ballistic - a vast body of experiment and observations
disproves the ballistic theory.

Right away, you commit a fundamental error. Emission of a photon
"here" and detection "there" does not imply the continuous
existence of the photon as a discrete entity between "here" and
"there". There is no "package" that moves away from the atom


"in a particular direction and continues on through space as ONE
single unit."

Right away, you commit a fundamental error. Emission of a photon

"here" and detection "there" implies the continuous exchange between
magnetic and electric fields of the photon as an entity between
"here" and "there", or energy is not conserved.

It doesn't preclude such a possibility either. In fact quantum
theory has nothing less than an "infinite series" of such
creations/absorptions of virtual photons for a "real propagating
photon".

Anything you would ascribe to a propagating photon, can be said
equally well of any physical particle with "breadth". Except
maybe for the E and B field in phase and at right angles... ;>)

Reflection, refraction, and self-interference... all quantum
objects can display these.

Except that the wave will spread out as it moves. I haven't seen too

Missiles that split four ways ?
http://www.eso.org/projects/vlti/

<<Now, does not the prize to Einstein imply
that the Academy recognised the particle
nature of light? The Nobel Committee says
that Einstein had found that the energy exchange
between matter and ether occurs by atoms emitting
or absorbing a quantum of energy,hv .

As a consequence of the new concept of light quanta
(in modern terminology photons) Einstein proposed the
law that an electron emitted from a substance by
monochromatic light with the frequency has to have
a maximum energy of E=hv-p, where p is the energy needed to
remove the electron from the substance. Robert Andrews
Millikan carried out a series of measurements over a
period of 10 years, finally confirming the validity of this
law in 1916 with great accuracy. Millikan had, however,
found the idea of light quanta to be unfamiliar and strange.

The Nobel Committee avoids committing itself to the
particle concept. Light-quanta or with modern terminology,
photons, were explicitly mentioned in the reports on
which the prize decision rested only in connection with
emission and absorption processes. The Committee says
that the most important application of Einstein's photoelectric
law and also its most convincing confirmation has come from
the use Bohr made of it in his theory of atoms, which explains
a vast amount of spectroscopic data. >>

What a strange thing to say..

Hyothetically, it is quite feasible to follow the movement of a light pulse as
it moves across space. Why shouldn't that apply to a single photon?

...yes, I know, observing it would destroy it.....but identical photons could
be used in a series of experiments.

There is no evidence that a photon disappears and miraculoulsly turns up
somewhere else. All evidence suggests it remains perfectly intact and moves at
c wrt its source.

You can't even explain the precession of Mercury's orbit without

This comment reminds me of one of my all time favorite physics
experiments... measuring the wavelength of a laser pointer using *only*
a metallic ruler. I hereby pose it as a challenge to anyone unfamiliar
with the method.

Hah! You never even managed to explain it the first time!

Whats the matter, Henri? Can't make your magical theory explain
something as simple as a planetary orbit?

I'd do it myself, but since you refuse to explain what exactly your
theory is beyond the Galilean transforms and c+v, I am forced to ask
you again and again.

How about, bounce the light from the pointer at grazing
incidence off the grooves of the metallic ruler. The angular
separation in radians between the diffracted spots should
be equal to the ratio of wavelength to groove spacing, around
half a milliradian for a ruler scribed in millimeters?

How does Nature behave?
Let's see. Hm.
I think the speed of light must be source dependent.
How could it not be?
So it's proven.
The speed of light IS source dependent.

Experimental evidence?
No trustworthy experiment is ever done.
Experiments proving my blind faith wrong CANNOT be
trustworthy, because there is no way I can be wrong.
How Can Light NOT be Ballistic?
See?
So it MUST be ballistic.
And since light IS ballistic, any experiment showing
otherwise must obviously be faulty.

Amen.

Photons are the quantized form of electromagnetic waves. Wavelength is
inversely proportional to the photon's momentum. But since you're
still stuck in the 19th century, I guess none of this will ever make

It's called EM wave theory. You might want to learn it before you make
such ridiculous statements about these things. Critiques of existing
physical theories are best undertaken when one fully understands
current existing theory. Photons are quanta of EM waves and they obey
the rules of quantum physics, not Newtonian physics. Until you
understand this, any ideas you have will probably be dead in the water.

Uh, no. Funny how you should take the *current state* of motion and

Oh look! You made me laugh! Now I see why hanson laughs at you.
==========================================

You'll note that when you said "So Earth clocks have slowed down
compared to Cassini's clock by about 1.6 seconds in the about ten years
since Cassini was launched," my direct answer was "Uh, no."

Furthermore, my statement that "Gamma for a beta of 1E-4 is


1.000000005. This corresponds to a desynchronization of about 0.16

seconds/year," is a completely correct statement. Nowhere in there did
I say that this applies to Cassini. And in fact, when you
misinterpreted that statement to be about Cassini, I corrected it, and
laughed at your rationale for arriving at that number.

Androcles, you are a proven liar.

Furthermore, you are a demonstrated coward, since you snipped an
extract from another thread and inserted it with the lie in this
thread.

Since you are a proven liar and a coward, I think I'll stop responding

A 'photon' has a length and cross section. It might have an intrinsic traveling
wave or some kind of rotation that gives rise to fixed 'nodes' along its entire
length. Naturally it will pass through both slits and intterfere. Where's the

I say there is a critical density of matter and fields (Wilson's Threshold)
below which light behaves ballistically. Above that, it behaves like a wave in
a medium.

I can only speculate about what happens as the threshold is approached.

>Fox fucked up with his extinction theory, you don't get

I say there will be a degree of light speed unification whenever the density
exceeds the threshold.

We must standardize yaw angles.
My zero yaw has major axis normal to LOS and perihelion to the right.
Yaw increases as ph is moved away.

I see you have no real criticism of my above statements.

I have qualified my theory by pointing out that light is only 100% ballistic
when the density of 'matter and fields' lies below the Wilson Threshold.

Above that, light behaves more like a wave in a medium.

This concept conforms with all known data and completely explains the role of
the BaTh in the determination of variable star brightness curves. For a large
part of its journey, starlight travels through space below the WiTh.

Then why does general relativity get it right?

If there are so many factors that you cannot even tell me what they are
after how many years, why should your explanation be thought of as
anything other than handwaving bullshit?

Why are you dodging the questions, Henri?

Why should I have to ask you to get a prediction out of your theory?

Why can't you make a simple prediction about a planetary orbit?

What, not enough data to massage? Mercury is within this star system,
so no specious arguments about extinction effects after an indetermine
number of light years.

I guess your theory is wrong if you cannot even predict a planetary
orbit with it. Hell, you have a 2500+ page thread that talks about
simple effects of emitted light among others and you cannot even get
THAT right.

| We must standardize yaw angles.

Good idea. I did it years ago.

| My zero yaw has major axis normal to LOS and perihelion to the right.
| Yaw increases as ph is moved away.
| What is the official view if any?

Nothing in math is "official", there is no "Officer of Math";
mathematicians
do as they damn please and so do astronomers. That's why we have so many
units of distance -- metres, miles, Astronomical Units, light years,
parsecs.

I'll take "official" to mean conventional.

x-axis horizontal, y-axis vertical. Major axis along x-axis. Example:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Ellipse.html

This maintains the 2D conventional cartesian coordinate system everyone
is used to and is the projection onto the celestial plane as you normally
see it.
That automatically means LOS is along z-axis. z means "up" to most people
anyway, and "up" is the direction you look at a star. +z is away.
The conventional view is face on, which real orbits seldom are.

Pitch - rotation around x-axis, angle omega.
Yaw - rotation around y-axis, angle phi.
Roll - rotation around z-axis, angle theta (not used much, same as standing
upside down like an aussie or sideways like a yank).
Periastron (not perihelion, that's only for our sun) is then as you say,
(x,y,z) = (1,0,0).

omega = 90 degree (pitch) - orbit is then edge on, horizontal, periastron
doesn't move.
phi = 90 (yaw) - orbit is then edge on, vertical. Periastron is then away
from you (0,0,1)
theta = 90 (roll) - projection of orbit remains an ellipse, periastron moves
to (0,1,0)

Direction of rotation (increasing angle) counterclockwise.

For ease of use and speed, a rotation matrix is employed.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RotationMatrix.html

There you'll notice the angles are alpha, beta, gamma and not omega, phi,
theta.
It is conventional to use greek letters for angle, but the choice of letter
is
very optional.

By means of matrix multiplication a single matrix is first created
and then ALL points in the object can be processed quickly.
Matrix multiplication is not commutative (A * B ) NOT equal (B * A)
so order is important and roll must be last. Computing sin(A)
over and over again slows programs and is unnecessary.

Here is a nice array of dots.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Rotation.html
Here is an even nicer array of dots.
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Wilson/SpinWilson.htm
All whole frame of dots were computed through the same rotation matrix
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/RotationMatrix/equation5.gif
and then a new matrix was created for the next frame.

You can paste this almost exactly as it is into VB.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/OrthogonalTransformation/inline7.gif

You can call yourself a programmer when you can do this as I can.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/gifs/rotmatx.gif
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/gifs/rotmaty.gif
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/gifs/rotmatz.gif

Until then you'll just be jealous.

The direction to the orbit from Earth is given by angles too, Right
Ascension
and Declination. Notice that 'roll' is completely ignored.
http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/time/coordinates.html

RA is an angle given in (of all things) time, adding to the general
confusion, and astronomers still use Julian dates. You'll see J.D.
on brit astro light curves, that's a Julian date in days.
The reason being, of course, astronomy is the oldest science
and astrology the oldest religion, the basis of all religions. Heaven
is where the stars are and the planets are gods. Telling the future
stems from prediction of astronomical events such as eclipses
and the priesthood capitalized on it. Relativists do the same today,
shrouding everything in mystery that only they understand, or so
they pretend.
Any shithead who tells me he has a theory without a shred of
evidence to support it can kiss my arse with his "Wilson Threshold".
You can't be a high priest to me, shove your over-inflated ego where it

I suppose this means that you now claim that
light in glass behaves like a wave in a medium.

Then the question is, how does a wave in a medium behave?

Please consider the following scenario, and answer my question:

A glass fibre with index of refraction n is moving
with the speed v in the stationary frame.

------------------------
* -> c/n wrt fibre -> v
------------------------

What is the speed of the light in the fibre in the stationary frame?

Is it (c/n + v), or is it something else?

The problem is that photons don't work the way you think they do.
They're quantizations of the EM field. Maybe what you're talking about
is the traditional Newtonian corpuscles of light, but you shouldn't
call them photons. You've always claimed that your so-called ballistic
particles of light explain a particular phenomenon involving binary
star systems. Fine, but what about other areas? A well-rounded
theoretician should always try to pick his own pet theories apart
before someone else can. Frankly, I don't think you've put enough
thought into this and are just trying to rest on one so-called success,

Predominantly Jupiter. Mercury's precession of longitude of
perihelion is quite small but entirely Newtonian.

Here's a precession of 90 degrees per orbit, modelled using NM,
ignorant shithead.

Venus, Earth, and Jupiter have the biggest influence on Mercury's
orbit. Newtonian Mechanics predicts 5557 arc seconds per century
precession. The observed precession is 5600 arc seconds per
century. The discrepancy between 5557 predicted and 5600 observed
is the ANOMALOUS precession, unexplainable by Newtonian mechanics.

Nice to see you don't understand what was known over a century ago.

You asked where the problem was.
The main problem is you are throwing insults instead of discussing physics.

"maybe"... "imagine"... "a physicist for 45 years" ... and doesn't know
how to use Kepler's equation.
Maybe Santa Claus will bring you a clue, childish cunt. Where's the problem?

Fucking "nodes"...
You don't have any imagination, Wilson, any cunt can draw this:
http://webphysics.davidson.edu/physlet_resources/bu_semester2/c22_EM.html
which is identical to your "photon" when "AM" is selected.
The idiot that drew that is hopelessly wrong too.
"Maxwell predicted that electromagnetic waves consist of electric and
magnetic fields that oscillate in phase ".
Maxwell said nothing of the kind, those of the words of a shithead.
"Predicted in phase" my arse.

Agreed, but not in that order.
Jupiter (12 year period), Venus (275 day period), Earth (365 day period)
is the order. The period of Mercury is 88 days.
Jupiter has the mass, Venus has the proximity. Least of all are Mars
(too small) and Saturn (too far).

Show your calculations. Also show Einstein's calculations for comparison.
It should be easy enough for you, you have the luxury of a computer,

You can start here:

Put your calculations on a spreadsheet as I do
(http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Wave.htm)

Sun, Jupiter and Mercury should be sufficient as a first attempt,
let others check it out (and stuff your handwaving bullshit up your arse).

Not my calculations, but Simon Newcomb's calculations, which
confirmed and refined Le Verrier's earlier figure of 38 arc seconds
per century.

Androcles, you know and I know perfectly well what would
happen if I took the trouble to request his 1882 paper through
interlibrary loan, scan it, and post on my web site.

You wouldn't bother to read it, and you'd dismiss it with an
obscenity. You're very tedious and predictable.

But when I try the way I think they do, I come up with results that match the

Listen idiot, I'm talking about what is emitted when a single electron changes
to another energy level.
It is obviously finite in length and time...and it travels across (empty) space
intact.

Why the fuck would you want to open it as text? It is a executable program.

Out comes the professional jealousy again......

We don't have to worry about rotation about the LOS, (z axis) in our programs.
That simplifies things considerably.

I have no need to do it.
