Light duality, Lorentz transform.

[John-Erik Persson]

Dear Prof. Danielsson at University of Uppsala, Sweden

Dear members of the npa-relativity group

In my opinion the idea of light duality presented by Niels Bohr is wrong. I think that the known process when electrons are captured by atoms and thereby generate electromagnetic waves (X-rays) by interference effects is reversible, so energy can flow in both directions. This means that we can explain the photoelectric effect with the wave model for light. The Compton effect can also be explained with the wave model in two steps.

• First waves interfere and an electron escapes,
• then an electron is captured and waves are caused.

Therefore light behavior is described without light particles.

The idea of light duality is wrong.

In my opinion the Lorentz transform is wrong. The transform states that an ether wind transverse to light direction reduces the light speed with a factor called the Lorentz factor, apparently due to a particle-based thinking. But light is waves only and the Lorentz factor is wrong according to the wave model for light, stating that an ether wind inside the wave front is irrelevant.

The Lorentz transform is wrong.
