| Hi
| My first post in this group!
| I am interested if the testing, which can be done easyly
| by astronomers, has ever been done the way I will describe
| it below, or not.
|
| Experiment description:
|
| <------- Earth movement at
| spring : register Df
|
| Star * light--->
| --------->Earth movement at
| fall : register Df
|
|
| Notations : D= delta ; f=frequency ; Df=Doppler shift
|
| The time period fall- spring is just for illustration purposes.
| What is being done is : The Doppler-shifted light
| emitted by
| a star is registered on Earth at an approx. 6 month interval.
| The star should be seen in the planetary movement plane of Earth,
| that is, it should be seen at East - West direction.
| Now, if Df proves to be the very same value for a given line of the
| stars-light spectrum, then c is independent of the observer's
| movement,
| as it should be according to the special relativity theory.
| Regards, LL

Hahaha!
Yes, of course it has been done, and "Df" is different between
spring and fall. But then, it would be even according to SR.

"It follows from these results that to an observer approaching a source of
light with the velocity c, this source of light must appear of infinite
intensity." -- Albert Idiot Einstein.
