_____________________ (I’ve been looking through my book ‘Aberrations of Relativity’ (C) 2008, where I found this sci fi story that I wrote back then.  The imminence of war, as is…Read more

If one were to consider all evidence for the supposed time dilation, it would fall into a general category of alterations in rates associated with spontaneous state transitions between…Read more

It’s an intriguing question, but like so many such questions, we’re not quite sure what an answer should even look like — or sound like. Carlo Rovelli began his…Read more

The essence of the speed of light being the same for every observer is that the separation of the source of radiation and the observer at the time light…Read more

In his initial paper Einstein specifically made the point that relativity was largely required to coordinate the observations made by relatively moving observers to accommodate covariant formulations of universally…Read more

Electrons throughout regions along the general direction of light propagation contribute to a Huygens-like ‘wavelet’ replication process. 1. Forward Reconstruction of a Wavefront When electromagnetic radiation propagates through a…Read more

In getting beyond Huygens, we assume that in every vicinity of a point in space there must be a probabilistic presence of secondary radiators (plasma electrons, if you will). Radiation…Read more

Suppose one could filter out the radial Doppler components responsible for the line broadening of radiation from a thermal source. What would be left would be the effect of…Read more

To begin, assume that at every point in space there is a probabilistic presence of a secondary radiator (an electron) that, were it present, would oscillate in resonance when…Read more

I assume we all know someone for whom lemons are sweet and, although war is not ideal, there has to be something positive in everything – even genocide must…Read more
