Kinda thought it was to illustrate a C+ and C- measurement by a single observer.

Would the experiment be altered if, on the rotation trip, the radar beam encountered a typhoon? Could the speed of light in water (140,000 mps) not offset the experiment enough to make the readings unreliable or compensate for the rotation? The experiment, not held in a vacuum, would be...

Don't want to get in the middle of this one but could you please give a reference on this? Tks.

"Astronomy" says light slows down... Does the response to a question about gravitational lensing on page 72 of the March issue of "Astronomy" agree with other statements on this forum about the absolute nature of light speed? The question asked by "Astronomy" reader Tom Schmidt: "I noticed...

Excellent document. A lot of work (that is appreciated) and certainly illustrates the point. This also gives a good area for thought and additional reading: _______________________________________________________________ the classical effect of the finite speed of light as well as...

Thank you.

Thank you Peterdevis. Good reply. Could we say we had a third observer located at 8C1435+635. Would this observer see the arrival at both Earth and Earth' without any discernable difference. Some of us are not as gifted/educated in this area and may ask something we consider logical...

______________________________________________________________ Take two observers, one on Earth and one on Earth'. They are two billion light years apart. Exactly halfway between the two planets is a galaxy (8C1435+635). It is .93C red shifted to Earth and blue shifted a like amount to Earth'...

If they did arrive at the same instant, should the red and blue shift be so pronounced?

I think we are getting a definite maybe on this subject. Maybe some light shift would help: Take two observers, one on Earth and one on Earth'. They are two billion light years apart. Exactly halfway between the two planets is a galaxy (8C1435+635). It is .93C red shifted to Earth and...

So, Treat2, after carefully reviewing and testing the replys I worked out a formula based on relativity: U = (MC^2) - E Let U = Understanding :wink:

Treat2, I also develop software for the mundane world of invasive cardiology and thoracic surgery measuring and interpreting biological anomalies. Reading the forum over time has led to a firm understanding that questions agreeing with ordinary logic are often illogical ("relative" to an...

Good response. Kinda like to ask that one every now and again. Thanks.

Observer A is zooming along in a very fast car at 0.995c. The "rest length" of the ca Say the occupant of the car/block does notice a small bump. This causes him to accidentally fire his M-16 aimed toward the front of the car. It's a hot round and travels at .010C. The occupant knows he is...
