Re: Proof that Relativists Do Not Understand Relativity.

Absolutely not. Aether theories require c to change with the observer.
It's primarily *that* reason that aether theories have been abandoned.

So, they have been abandoned from the misreasoning of measuring
the relative speed of light.

The speed of light is only constant to "at rest" frames.
Using percieved wavelengths times frequency to determine relative
speed is a complete ingorance of the observers speed.
If you use "percieved wavelength" times frequency to determine
a speed, you can also prove with the same facts of lightwaves, that
soundwaves and water waves are all constant to all inertial frames
just as lightwaves "supposedly" are.

Percieved wavelength times frequency ignores the relatives speed
completely.

Water waves, each 1 foot apart are heading towards the shore.
An "at rest" observer on a dock measures the wavelength and
counts 1 wave per second.
So we have a speed of the waves set at 1 foot per second.

Now have fun yourself and send a boat heading through the
waves at any speed. and use your "perceived wavelength" that the
boat "measures" times the frequency the boat detected and show
me you did not still get 1 foot per second.
(hence according the the same proof of constant lightspeed,
waterwave speed is also constant)
But of course...
Now try such using a 1 foot wavelength (the physical not percieved
wavelength) times the frequency the boat recieved and then figure out
the "actual" relative speed of the waves.

Now have fun and realize lightspeed is not "constant to all frames"
and is in fact relative just as water waves and sound waves are.

Besides, looking back to the Maxwell equations that started the aether
theories, it is clear that the aether can not exist. The "medium" for
the E-field is the B-field and vice versa. So aether simply makes no
sense.


Now, I expect this message will attract a mountain of abuse from the
EPG and others who will try to ridicule me rather than admit that my
demo is a correct portrayal of their own ridiculous 'variation on an
aether theme'.

You sound like those global-warming nuts: "We have a simulation and a
consensus; just ignore the physics and the facts. Any opposition
*must*
be a conspiracy to make us martyrs."


The plain fact is, not one of them knows enough physics to understand
their own theory. The anticipated replies will provide convincing
proof

You say "not one". I assume that includes you. In that case you should
respect the facts and defer to those who know more than you.

Since you claim to have a doctorate in theology, you should read
Proverbs 11:2 and Proverbs 13:10.
