Reframing Michelson-Morley
By: Thomas Lee Abshier, ND
- The physics community assumed that the MMX, with its clever combining of waves once
in phase, and processes by splitting directing at right angles, and then recombining,
would reveal the speeding or slowing effects of the “ether wind”. The method of
superimposing waves so as to produce an interference pattern, and then use this as
an indicator of change in path length, removed many possible measurement errors.
The experimental setup therefore tightly focuses on the nature of the ether that
could produce such an effect.
- The experimenters expected that the distance traveled by the light when it was traveling
at 90° to the ether wind would be a longer path length, which would produce a delay
in the return of the light beam to its source. But, no such effect was seen, so
if the ether is to remain a valid concept, we must attribute a new quality to the
ether.
- This new quality is as follows.
o When light is projected into space, it travels through the ether, from Dipole to
Dipole Particle at the characteristic speed of light for that medium, regardless
of the speed of the generating platform.
o But, in addition to this component of the light velocity vector, the platform will
add its own velocity vector to the wave.
o In other words, a photon generated and projected to transit across the ether wind
will have two components of velocity.
§ A component that travels at the speed of light of the local ether
§ A component that travels in the direction of the momentum of the generating platform.
o Note: if the momentum of the platform is in the direction of the ether, then the
photon will have more or less energy depending only on its velocity with respect
to the ether frame. It will appear to have more or less energy depending on the
relative velocity of the target frame. If the target is approaching, then the photon
will appear to be more energetic than it would have appeared in the ether frame,
and vice versa.
- A light-carrying-ether with the above properties appears to be conducting light without
any medium. Such is the reason why Einstein’s model has been so successful. He
was able to deduce the algorithm that mapped the behavior of light in its relationship
to space, time, and gravity, without using the mechanical understructure as a guide
for his insight. Some of the implications of this ether are as follows:
o A blue shift occurs between a photon transmitter-receiver pair which has an approaching
velocity between them, and a red shift with a receding velocity.
o A resting velocity (zero, no movement, relative stationary) will produce no red
or blue shift. This result holds regardless of whether the transmitter-receiver
pair are transiting through the ether wind, are on another frame and communicating
across or with the ether wind, or at rest in that frame.
o A light beam aimed at a mirror will have the same transit time to and from the
mirror regardless of the direction it is projected (across, against, with, or stationary
to the ether wind).
- The ether only carries radial waves (light in the direction of its propagation) through
its medium at a single rate in that local environment. That rate is dependent only
upon the characteristic of the medium. The light photon also carries a velocity
vector associated with the velocity of the generating platform. This combination
of velocity vectors, luminal/radial and kinetic/tangential, causes the ether medium
to appear totally invisible.
- We can only infer the existence of the ether by induction. I believe all phenomena
of particle physics, quantum mechanics, mechanics, field theory, and relativity can
be framed in terms of the ether medium. I believe that only a small set of rules
that govern the interaction of particles need be used to produce the alphabet from
which all the words, paragraphs, chapters, and stories of the physical universe may
be spelled out.
- At the time of the 1887 Michelson Morley experiment, the light-conducting ether was
conceptualized to function in a manner similar to air or water. These media did
not exhibit the ability to carry an independent radial and a tangential velocity
component.
- Thus, the model of an ether which carried light in a manner similar to the conventional
media was clearly abolished. But to date, there has been no resurgence of an ether
theory that has garnered with support in the physics community.
- The MMX experiment showed no change in the interference pattern because the ether
has a property having no other identical correlate. Rather, all other phenomena
derive their actions from the properties of the ether, and thus show themselves to
be subsets this larger ruleset.
o The MMX has elements of angular momentum in its configuration. The light is moving
perpendicular to the ether wind, which reminds us to a degree of tangential motion.
o The question we might ask, is whether this angular motion has any fundamental rule-impacting
basis? In response we might note that all angular momentum configurations have at
their base a system with two particles in relationship to each other. But, the angular
relationship has no fundamental structural significance unless the two entities exert
force upon each other. In the case of the photon traveling across the ether wind,
there is no force exerted on the photon other than the reflection off the mirror.
The reflecting mirror was traveling at the same velocity through the ether as the
half silvered mirror. Thus, the absorption and reemission of the photon provided
no additional tangential moment to the velocity of the photon. Had the reflecting
mirror been moving at a different speed, as may be more relevant in our wingtip to
wingtip airplane example, the computation would have been more complex to determine
the firing angle which would have resulted in a return to source. Since the mirror
absorbs, and reemits the photon, it will necessarily add its own tangential velocity
to the photon. The details of its incident angle and relative velocity will determine
the angle and timing that will produce the desired return location of the photon.
§ (Note: as far as I know this experiment has not been done, and would be a test
of the accuracy of the “tangential speed of light theory.”)
- All photon emitter platform will imprint their mass velocity on the photon. The
velocity tangential to the absolute frame will be carried by the photon regardless
of whether from pair annihilation, orbital shell drop, nuclear decay, brehmsstralung,
or other photon generation mechanisms. The radial velocity of light will remain
at the local speed of light regardless of the originating mass’s velocity with respect
to the ether wind.
o The tangential velocity of the photon does not violate the local speed of light
requirement, it merely reflects the energy/momentum/velocity of the originating mass.
o When two particles exchange and perceive photons, they do not experience a different
frequency/energy photon if they are at rest with each other, but if there is a velocity
between them, they will experience a red (less energy/receding), or a bluer photon
(more energy/approaching).
o In the case of a blue shift, the additional energy perceived by the receiver was
supplied by the velocity of the transmitter or receiver, depending on who was actually
moving with respect to the absolute frame. The receiver will always declare that
the transmitter is moving forward or away, because the receiver perceives himself
as stationary. But, in actuality the commerce of energy is negotiated on the trading
floor of the ether frame.
§ The most common example of a red and blue shift is in astronomy. A star with an
approaching velocity will add its velocity energy to the energy of the orbital shell
drop, thus releasing a photon which has a higher frequency, causing it to appear
more blue.
§ The same situation could be examined from the frame of the observer, assuming that
he is traveling toward the stationary source. In this case the added energy of
the observer’s frame adds energy to the incoming photon and causes it to appear more
blue.
§ In actuality, the ether frame (The Absolute Rest Frame) is the foundational structural
level that carries the photon. The direction of motion of the emitter frame in relation
to the ether frame causes the photon to be released with a greater or lesser energy
than would be produced by an emitter at rest in the ether frame. Going into the
wind, an emitter produces a photon with greater energy, and emitting a photon in
the direction of the trailing edge produces a photon of lesser energy.
§ But, this effect is invisible since the target material, the photon detector, will
necessarily be in an exactly complementary orientation to the ether wind so as to
negate the energy signature imprinted on the photon when it was emitted. For example:
a detector traveling into the ether wind will necessarily receive a photon emitted
from the trailing edge of an emitter. As a result, no experiment done inside this
system can reveal the fact that the direction of emission influences the energy of
the emitted photon.
§ Because of the complementary addition and subtraction of the same amount of energy
to the photon, an emitter-detector pair will always record the same energy photon
when at rest; and the relative velocity between the two will likewise follow the
same rules of predictability.
§ Thus, the direction the ether wind blows is irrelevant to the scientist in the
laboratory frame as it does not affect the results of the experiment. Thus, the
apparent validity of the Theory of Relativity.
- The Dipole Sea & Matrix transmit all EM disturbances in the same way. Photons are
EM waves with a tight focal coherence, whereas Microwaves and Radio waves disperse
from their source in a radial manner.
