    Graduate Is the Speed of Light Truly Constant in a Vacuum?

    No it is not the accelaration, yes if they both followed exactly the same path in opposite directions and both turned and returned their clocks would show the same time still. However this will be different to a third person(triplet?) that was left behind on earth. The easiest way, i think, is...

    Graduate What Distinguishes an Excitation Spectrum from an Absorption Spectrum?

    Wouldn't trust what I say 100% but I am fairly sure excitation spectrum refers to the spectrum produced by flourescence spectroscopy and absorption spectrum from absoprtion spectroscopy, seems a little bit like useless definitions but the two techniques are different, flourescence spectroscopy...

    Graduate Is the Speed of Light Truly Constant in a Vacuum?

    This is what they got, they got no fringes. The interferometer measures differences in the speed of light along perpendicular pathlengths, you will get a different speed of light moving along the same direction as the ether as one moving perpendicular to the ether, or any sin x of an angle...

    Graduate Slowing Down a Photon - Does It Make Sense?

    In a superfluid light can be slowed to a few miles per hour. As for if you mean in a vacuum yes in all frames of reference, except of course the photons own frame of reference it will be traveling at c.

    Graduate Is the Speed of Light Truly Constant in a Vacuum?

    may have misinterpretated you here but causality is a consequence of the speed of light being constant not the other waya round and the speed fo light being constant is not obtained from laws or theories it is a well established experimental fact. Causality in relativity only means no...
