We are not in a bar, and mine's a glass of wine these days if we were.
Dirk Van de moortel is a slimy little scumbag in Belgium who once
boasted to putting a Key-logger on my computer when I had insufficient
protection and the nasty little faggot is lurking on this conversation even
now. My elder daughter died of cancer in 2006, I let it be known on
usenet and was accused of trying to capitalise on it to gain attention for
my views on physics, and by more than one scumbag.
If you want to spread your personal details all over the web that's your
business, but I'm not going to. Use your intelligence and make do with
my approximate age.
=======================================================
Usenet is largely a never-ending chess game with each participant
trying to gain advantage over an opponent for prestige, "My theory is
better than your theory". I don't have a theory, all theories are the
ideas of others. What I have is a discovery that nobody listens to.
You are asking me to change the way I play, but it's only a game and
my fun.

Given your additional details, I read this article
http://iopscience.iop.org/1538-3881/128/1/405/fulltext/204071.text.html
and it has a duplicate, more detailed, graph of the same brightness
over time data.
=========================================================
Quite so, more data can always be found.
Here is a simple distance-time graph generated by computer with the
following assumptions:
1) The emitter (star) has an output intensity that is constant.
2) the emitter moves in an elliptical orbit about a barycentre it shares
with another body.
3) The light leaves the star with velocity c, but arrives here with velocity
c+v where v is the velocity of the star in out direction.
4) Given a great enough distance, slower light emitted earlier is passed by
faster light emitted later.
(A car travelling at 50 mph is caught up after 300 miles by a car travelling
at 60 mph that left home 1 hour later, 6 hours * 50 mph = 5 hours * 60 mph)

Two beams are brighter than one if they arrive together.
It was Henry Wilson who first noted that delta T differed from delta t to
yield an apparent time dilation and compression.
So... no cataclysm. No Einstein relativity nonsense either.

Am familiar with this fable.
================================================
The world was flooded when the Northern Ice Cap melted, so Noah built a
farm on a boat to save the animals. Such is the nature of fables.
Are you familiar with this 2100 year old technology?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism
The extremely poor mathematics of the Holy Roman Empire, still extant
throughout the world and especially so in the USA, has lost us much from
the Greeks, the Persians, the Indians, the Arabs.

Have not found (i.e., read) a good explanation yet. No conclusive
cause provided in the iop link concerning the TWICE peak.
===================================================
The leading and trailing edge of the region of reversal are the peaks.

"light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which
is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body" -- Einstein.
Oh no it isn't.
Too bad, Einstein, but your second postulate is nonsense, you fruitcake.
And yes, the spectrum will be strange with mixed red and blue Doppler shift.

"It is probable that the secondary outburst apparent in the light
curve was due to an additional but slow increase in the material being
expelled from the surface of the white dwarf." -- iop link.
================================================
Standard explanation. It's as probable as Ptolemy's epicycles cause
retrograde motion.

I would search for Henry Wilson but Google Search on and of Usenet is
really Really REALLY atrocious. Arrgh. Oy the frustration of bad SW
apps.
=================================================
Look in (subscribe to) sci.physics.relativity, He's usually beating up
relativists for fun.
He's my student but he's very arrogant, wants all the credit. We treat each
other
roughly but there is no real animosity.

Heck, my Jazzy is faster than walking, all I want is for all pubs not to
have steps as it limits my choice.

Nobody took a passport. If you want a hotel room you are obliged to
hand it over, but anyone can sleep under the stars. If you want to drive
in Maryland you need a license, but nobody is forcing you to drive there.
You have the freedom of the highway and byways to walk or ride a horse.
Driving a car is a privilege that you have to morally and ethically prove
you are worthy of, it's a lethal weapon.
Freedom and rights have very different meanings.
Yankees often mistake them, they think they have the right to privacy
but they have a Bill of Rights and it's not in there so they don't. Hence
technology that lets security guards see through clothes at airports in
infra-red or x-ray, but nobody is forced to board a plane.

Perhaps. But I am running from office, not for. Funny that.
==================================================
Then he must have wanted to vote against you.
