The Ray and the Beam
My ideas about the important distinction between ray and beam appears to have got very low acceptance. One commentator stated that he ignored this distinction as not important. Perhaps he did not understand my points. Maybe I was not clear enough. So, I try again. The wave motion c is an oscillation (time dependent) and the […]

According to Planck an electron in a constant orbit cannot produce thermal radiation. He concluded, from the law of energy conservation, that the electron must lose energy, and thereby also stability. However, we must regard the fact that two electromagnetic waves in, opposite phase, can produce zero radiation. This fact is also in conflict to […]

Many scientists have provided strong and correct evidences against time dilation. In this article the ambition is instead to find the first error, in a long chain of mistakes. It is demonstrated here, that a very early error was done by Stokes in his ‘correction’ to Michelson’s prediction for his experiments together with Morley (MMX). Stokes’ […]

In my earlier post Stellar Aberration I demonstrated how the same track of a moving particle must have a changed representation in a frame changed with speed v in ortogonal direction to particle motion c. The change, v/c, is also valid for a wave front ortogonal to particle direction. I also stated that it does […]

We cannot hope to directly unite complex belief systems, as David de H said. However, we can, and must, try to unite basic assumptions and important empirical facts. A dubious assumption is the idea that a phenomenon can move with the same speed in relation to all inertial frames. An important empirical fact is the […]

August 21 this year will show a solar eclipse in US. This will be something to look at, and also a test of Eddington’s observation from 1919. However, this is not a certain indication about GRT, since it is not certain whether the effect is due to gravity or due to refraction by the corona. […]

The problems in ‘modern’ physics started already in connection with the transition from light particles to light waves. At that time light motion got a new description as a vector sum of ether wind and wave velocity. This provided a correct description of how light really moves. This motion, the beam direction, can be detected […]
Continue Reading...Wave or Particle Confusion
This article explains the difference between the beam direction of light and the ray direction. The beam direction describes the real motion of light, observable only in a focused beam. The ray direction is relevant in coherent systems where orientations of wave fronts are detected, or generated, based on phase. The difference is therefore the […]
