If the observer suddenly starts moving towards the light source, the frequency of light increases (Doppler effect). This has a SIMPLE IMPLICATION: the wavecrests are now bumping more frequently into the observer, that is, THE SPEED OF LIGHT RELATIVE TO THE OBSERVER HAS INCREASED. "But this is fatal for Divine Albert's Divine Theory" - say to themselves Einsteiniana's teachers and replace the SIMPLE IMPLICATION with an IDIOTIC ONE: http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teaching/HPS_0410/chapters/big_bang/index.html John Norton: "Here's a light wave and an observer. If the observer were to hurry towards the source of the light, the observer would now pass wavecrests more frequently than the resting observer. That would mean that moving observer would find the frequency of the light to have increased (AND CORRESPONDINGLY FOR THE WAVELENGTH - THE DISTANCE BETWEEN CRESTS - TO HAVE DECREASED)." If Einsteinians want to leave their schizophrenic world, they should return to the SIMPLE IMPLICATION by realizing that the wavelength is determined by the light source and cannot depend on the movements of the observer. By the way, John Baez, Einsteiniana's most famous teacher, has already left Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world: http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_5.html John Baez: "On the one hand we have the Standard Model, which tries to explain all the forces except gravity, and takes quantum mechanics into account. On the other hand we have General Relativity, which tries to explain gravity, and does not take quantum mechanics into account. Both theories seem to be more or less on the right track but until we somehow fit them together, or completely discard one or both, our picture of the world will be deeply schizophrenic.....I realized I didn't have enough confidence in either theory to engage in these heated debates. I also realized that there were other questions to work on: questions where I could actually tell when I was on the right track, questions where researchers cooperate more and fight less. So, I eventually decided to quit working on quantum gravity." Pentcho Valev pvalev@yahoo.com
