The Michelson Tragedy
The Michelson Tragedy (PDF including diagram) The Michelson Tragedy john.erik.persson@gmail.com Abstract The Michelson-Morley tests, that were done in 1881 and 1887, are still questioned. So, we have reasons, even today, to discuss what does these experiments mean. The dispute between Michelson and Potier is discussed in this article. Michelson’s tests Michelson had a remarkable skill […]

MMichelsonp The link contains PDF with diagram Michelson-Morley explained john.erik.persson@gmail.com Abstract Short and popularized version of the famous experiments called MMX. We can see that in reality it is Michelson’s – not Potier’s version that is the correct one. The equipment A light source produced wave fronts that was split up by a beam splitter […]

This article explains how time dilation has been used to cover up for a mistake, that was introduced by Potier, when Einstein was a child. Potier did not observe that mirrors are transparent to the ether wind, and therefore the mirrors are controlling c only – and not c+v. Potier’s mistake Potier reduced Michelson’s prediction […]

This post is about the duality between ray and beam as representations for light direction. In Michelson and Morley’s tests (MMX) the difference is only 10^-6 radians and not observed. In coherent systems the ether wind inside the wave fronts becomes irrelevant and the ray concept must be used. Coherent systems In coherent systems refracting […]

Abstract Dissidents have spent lots of time on Einstein, but has not observed what happened when Einstein was only 3 years old. At that time Potier wrote a paper, stating that Michelson’s prediction for his experiments, (MMX), with Morley, were interpreted in error by Michelson. Michelson had assumed light to take the fastest – not shortest […]
Continue Reading...Michelson Was Right
Our problem is that mainstream refuses to talk to us, when we say that Einstein was wrong. I, and prof Hartwig Thim in Linz, have another problem and that is that CNPS members refuse to talk to us when we say that Lorentz also was wrong. I am still waiting for response on my book […]
Continue Reading...The Michelson-Morley Scandal
The wave or particle confusion, and the twin paradox, were created when Einstein was a child, by Lorentz and other scientists. This great error in physics was done when they together abolished Michelson’s prediction for the Michelson-Morley tests. So, Einstein and Lorentz were wrong and Michelson was right, when he stated no effect in the […]

A hidden assumption In MMX a swimmer is used in an analogy. It is assumed (in error) that a swimmer compensates for the motion of the water and thereby minimizes the length of his motion. A smart swimmer does not do so. Instead he minimizes the time in the water, not the length of his trip. So, […]
Continue Reading...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 […]

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 […]
