[geocentrism] Re: Point a) - the ether

Regner, 
Below is the reply from Dr. Bennett to your query about Cahill and the 
parallax diagram. On the latter issue, Dr. Bennett suggests that I show you the 
testimony from our book Galileo Was Wrong regarding the Neo-Tychonic model, 
which, 
if you remember from my post from yesterday, I did, indeed, already send to 
you, at least from one section of GWW. I might add that, your ignorance of that 
model to explain geocentric parallax is about as surprising as your 
ignorance, pointed out by Martin Selbrede, of General Relativity to allow a 
fixed earth 
in a rotating universe, courtesy of Barbour & Bertotti, Lense & Thirring, 
William Rosser, Hermann Bondi, et al, all of whose views and explanations are 
included in  GWW. If I may reiterate,you would have already had access to these 
arguments (in addition to the sordid history between Miller, Shankland and 
Einstein regarding the temperature effects of the interferometer experiments) 
if 
you had accepted the original offer to have a free copy of Galileo Was Wrong 
sent to you over a year ago. The offer still stands, by the way.

Dear Robert S. 
I did cite a limited part of  Reg Cahill’s Process Physics work in GWW; what 
is described in your mail seems to be based on discussions on Nigel’s forum, 
not on my GWW piece.  
In GWW I said that Reg. provided a major contribution via his rigorous 
analysis of the effect of n – index of refraction – on the measurement of c in 
interferometers.  RC proved that using vacuum and solid state media was useless 
in 
detecting luminal anisotropy.  Being an absolutist(aether) rather than a 
geocentrist, he could hardly accurately represent my/our belief with his 
Process 
Physics model.   References to his Process Physics articles are for the 
refractive analysis they contain - only.  My apologies that wasn’t clear in the 
prior 
dialogue.  
Let’s not assume that geocentricity is a well-developed and detailed mature 
theory,  or that we all subscribe to Process Physics ….reading a few forum 
dialogues would quickly disabuse anyone of that rash assumption of unanimity.  
I 
myself prefer the term geostatist, which emphasizes my core belief, the 
semantics of centrism being ambiguous.  
The same lack of universal agreement is true of mainstream physics, which is 
only united in its dogmatic opposition to a static earth.  Almost all MS 
physicists claim to be relativists, but relativity allows any choice of rest 
frame, 
including Earth??!  Some relativists claim the Sun must be the rest frame - 
to compute Bradley aberration, others like NASA say the Solar Barycenter is it, 
yet others the CMB. Some use the laboratory frame, without realizing that it 
IS the GC frame.  (Accepting these logical contradictions in relativity is 
part of the modern thinking in physics, I suppose.) .   
Re Lorentz contraction:  
My GWW section explicitly shows that no experiment has independently 
confirmed Lorentz- Fitzgerald contraction; it remains an ad-hoc assumption, 
unproven 
since introduced a century ago.  Most physicists know that geocentrism is based 
on the Galilean group.  
Re:  
If you don't include Cahill's postulate then you won't have a cancellation of 
aether effects in vacuum Michelson-Morley interferometers - no throwing away 
of babies with bathwater. And as Philip also points out in _his post of 
28/04/2008_ 
(http://www.freelists.org/archives/geocentrism/04-2008/msg00140.html) , 
the logic is a bit strained. And two aethers - how does the light figure out 
which aether to move in???

With no matter to detect and respond to the aether flow in the optical path, 
the vacuum MM exp will in fact be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.  RC
’s Lorentz contraction postulate is irrelevant – a red herring.  
Phillip has chosen not to post my 4/28/08 response to his 4/28/08 forum postl 
– so see attached.  
There is an electromagnetic aether(EM) and a gravito-inertial(GI) aether.   
Is it a mystery which one would propagate light – an electromagnetic wave?   
From another email re the parallax diagrams for HC & GC: 
The bottom plot, however, is NOT equivalent to a geocentric Solar
system, where the stars would be fixed (actually have constant
velocities) with respect to the Earth, and there would be no parallax.

There is nothing secret or Earth-rattling about that bottom plot.

Regner 
There’s nothing secret about the plot; it’s been published. 
There’s nothing Earth-rattling, because the Earth cannot be moved. 
Psalm 92 ……. For he hath established the world which shall not be moved. 
Please advise Regner to read the GWW section on the Neo-Tychonian model, in 
which the stars orbit the Sun as secondary satellites of the Earth.  Or he can 
refer to the video clips on the CD.  He is still using the discarded Ptolemaic 
model.  
In GC the stellar motion around the Sun, which is orbiting the Earth, is 
equivalent to the HC diagram.  After all, it’s just a coordinate transformation 
from the Sun’s center to the Earth’s center which preserves angles.  The stars 
are centered on the Sun in the HC diagram; they must remain so in the GC 
diagram.  The Sun is the center of all the stars, as in HC, but the Earth is 
the 
center of the universe.  
So there’s no problem with the diagram except the misunderstanding re the 
application of the NT GC model. After correcting  this oversight,  it will be 
good to have his support.  
Btw: How the stars can be both fixed and moving with constant velocity wrt 
the Earth must be another relativity exception to logic… 
He is risen indeed – Alleluia!

Subject: From Trampedach to you, I believe 
Robert B. 
Astrophysicist Roger Trampedach, of the Geocentrism forum (that you vacated) 
came back with this analysis of Cahill's ether. He addressed it to me, but, 
after reading it, I believe he meant you.  
If you care to respond, I'll forward it back to the list. 
Robert S. 
Robert Sungenis,
Let's attack this problem one issue at a time. I promise to return to the 
other issues later. And let's start with R. Cahill's theory. Have you ever read 
any of Cahill's papers? If you have, you would know that his theory is based on 
the postulate that there is a Lorentz contraction - not based on the relative 
speed between object and observer as in special relativity - but based on the 
absolute speed of an object with respect to the aether. With all the 
ridiculing of the Lorentz contraction in this forum, I'm rather surprised that 
you 
would accept such an explanation.  The big problem with this postulate is, of 
course, that it has never been observed and that it is pretty hard to come up 
with a theoretical explanation for it. Let me contrast the two cases:

Cahill:
* a physical squeezing of any moving object.
* If we were on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, traveling at 99% of c 
(speed of light in vacuum) we would get physically very flat (14% of our normal 
extent)
- when we turned around to face away from the flight-direction, we would get 
flat sideways - it would take of energy to do this, and deposit a lot of 
energy in our bodies - and I believe it would scramble us quite a bit. Looking 
at 
each other at a 90° to the flight-direction, we would appear flat to each other.
* Laws of physics would be quite different there!
* Since it involves physical squeezing of objects, how can this effect depend 
on the velocity with respect to the aether only - and not depend at all on 
the material of the object? It would take quite different amounts of energy to 
squeeze air and steel. And what is supposed to happen to the constituent atoms?
* How come we have never observed such a squeezing of moving matter. Again, 
the energies involved would be rather high. And I shudder to think how a 
super-sonic fighter-jet would handle, when you get different results from the 
laser-gyroscope depending on which direction you are flying!
* The theory is constructed to explain away the null results of modern M-M 
style experiments that find no movement with respect to an aether to
one part in 400,000 billion.

Special Relativity:
* The contraction only appears when there is a relative velocity between 
object and observer. It is a kind of "perspective effect".
* If we were on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, traveling at 99% of c 
(speed of light in vacuum) we would not get flat. We would only seem flat to 
observers back on Earth (traveling at 99% of c, with respect to us).
* Everything would behave perfectly normal and we would be able to dribble a 
ball in exactly the same way as back on Earth, and the replicators would work 
as usual... 
* The contraction is only a perspective effect, so it can easily (and does) 
result in the same contraction for any material - no problems with atomic 
physics here.
* The theory is a results of two simple postulates (confirmed by 
observations!):
a) The laws of physics are the same in all inertial systems.
b) The speed of light in vacuum has the same value in all inertial systems.


If you don't include Cahill's postulate then you won't have a cancellation of 
aether effects in vacuum Michelson-Morley interferometers - no throwing away 
of babies with bathwater. And as Philip also points out in _his post of 
28/04/2008_

the logic is a bit strained. And two aethers - how does the light figure out 
which aether to move in???

I have interspersed a few other comments below and inserted divisions between 
each persons
contributions - our mailing programs obviously handles replies differently.
