It won't matter. I am now convinced you have three ears
and three eyes and each operates autonomously.

Light propagating at 'c' relative to the source is not emission
theory.

That is nearly word for word opposite the conclusions of de Sitter.

Since you seem to have three ears and three eyes maybe you
need to take on three experimenters.

1) Richard Fitzpatrick
2) Willem de Sitter
3) ???

Who would your third ear like to ignore ?

[nonsense snipped]



But the light is always propagating away from this 'stationary' star
at 'c'.

Other than the system that Henri Wilson has reduced
to Window's Basic, thousands of systems refute your
claim.

They show that light propagates at "c" relative to
the free_space dielectric regardless of the motion
of the star.

You do not understand the difference between what I am saying and
emission theory.

From your link:

"According to simple emission theory, light thrown off by an object
should move at a speed of c with respect to the emitting object.

If there are no complicating dragging effects, the light would then be
expected to move at this same speed until it eventually reached an
observer. *For an object moving directly towards (or away from) the
observer* at v metres per second, this light would then be expected to
still be travelling at (c + v) ( or (c - v) ) metres per second by the
time it reached us.

Willem de Sitter argued that if this was true, a star in a double-star
system would usually have an orbit that caused it to have alternating
approach and recession velocities, and light emitted from different
parts of the orbital path would then travel towards us at different
speeds."

The first sentence is accurate if you consider the emitting object to
be stationary.

What I am saying is that in terms of the propagation of light, the
object is not moving directly towards (or away from) the observer. The
object is stationary.

Relative to the propagation of light, the observer is moving towards
(or away from) the object.

In the above quote, saying the object is moving towards or away from
the observer is tying the object to three dimensional space. It is
saying the object is moving in three dimensional space and the
observer is not. For the propagation of light, this is incorrect.
Relative to the propagation of light, the object is stationary and the
observer is moving.
