Continuous Radiation from Bound Electrons
The cyclic motion of a bound electron (A) produces a cyclic disturbance in the surrounding ether. This disturbance (a potential force) moves with the speed c. If, and only if, this potential force hits another electron (B), then at that moment a real force on B is produced. This force cannot earlier be realized since […]

The Structure of Light John-Erik Persson john.erik.persson@gmail.com Abstract This article describes the structure and behavior of light, without using the particle model. The most important problem The question regarding the structure of light is the most important problem in physics. The introduction of the wave theory seems to be unfinished, and all particle-based thinking is […]

pdf Paradoxes and Failures in Physics John-Erik Persson Budkavlevägen 5, 14 174 Segeltorp, Sweden john.erik.persson@gmail.com A world of paradoxes and questions Today theoretical physics is in a bad state. Physics is full of unanswered questions like: Why the wave or particle paradox? Why the twin paradox? Why quantum jumping? What are quanta of light? Why […]

Member http://www.naturalphilosophy.org//pdf//abstracts/abstracts_paperlink_7485.pdf john.erik.persson@gmail.com Forgotten Approximation–>Twin Paradox If light is moving with velocity c in a specific frame, and we search the velocity in another frame, moving with the velocity u in relation to the first frame, we get c–u in the new frame. We can use simple vector addition and state that light always moves […]

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 […]

A Scientific Dispute john.erik.persson@gmail.com (The link contains PDF doc with diagrams) Abstract This short article is about the debate between 1882 and 1887 regarding Michelson’s and Potier’s opinions about light behavior, in the experiments that Michelson did together with Morley. The unhappy result of this debate had a devastating effect for the development of physics. […]
Continue Reading...Potier was wrong
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 […]
