¿Why one cannot push light but just in the normal direction to the ray?
NAIVE QUESTION:
I understand I cannot push a light ray (I mean, to sum speed vectors) in its propagation path,
but ¿why I can certainly push it in the normal direction to the light ray?
Is there some info on this subject anywhere in the web?
Please, I am not looking for opinions nor comments, but just academic sites where the answer to this question have been scientifically developed.
I have not found any info on this matter in any text on special relativity theory and I do not understand how anyone could talk about special relativity without previously explaning such anisotropy of light.
many thanks for your help
I am overwhelmed by this extremely simple question and by the fact that I have not found any info on this matter.
Many thanks for any help, indeed.
