And we have to look at the actual light curve
to say which it is, of course.
The ballistic theory obviously predicts what's observed.
So we will have to see what's observed before we can tell
what it predicts.

I see.
If the gas is thick, the speed of the photons will be adjusted
to c relative to the gas.
But if the gas is very thin, the photons will be slowed down
to a small fraction of c.

That figures.

Why should it not?

You mean your program predicts that flashes
at different time cancels?
What about extinction in the gas cloud?
Did you take that into consideration?

I understand the theory, and I have a great time observing
your explanations for why the theory doesn't apply when you
don't like its predictions.

I see.
It is impossible to say what the ballistic theory really
predicts, because so many weird things happens to light on its way,
- it may be diffused by thermal velocities - then again it may not be
because the gas cloud around the star will adjust the velocities
to c relative to the star and its gas cloud - and then the light may
be slowed down if the interstellar gas is thin - or it may be
adjusted to c again if the gas isn't so thin .. and ..
well - we can't really say what the ballistic theory predicts.

But when we observe a variable - then we know for certain that
this is exactly what the ballistic theory predicts a binary
should look like....which leaves little doubt that the BaT is the
direct cause of most variation in star brightness.

Very convincing indeed!
Well done, Henri.

Of course you have, Henri.
You have named a lot of Miras and Cepheids.
And if we ignore the fact that the spectra and
even interferometric measurements prove that these are
pulsating stars, and that we because of all the weird
things that may happen to the light on its way cannot
say what kind of binaries that according to the ballistic
theory would produce these light curves, the light curves
are obviously what the ballistic theory would have predicted
if the stars were binaries and not pulsating stars.
So they must be binaries - or was it "single orbiting stars?" -
anyway - the ballistic theory is obviously right.

Sorry for running away from the truth that you have
shown EXACTLY what the ballistic theory predicts
for concrete puls.. eh.. bina.. eh .. single orbiting stars.

I am using you as a clown.
A very good one.
I find you very entertaining.
But clowning is a serious business.
So I take you very seriously.
As you can see from my posting.
