Flaw in the Theory of Relativity
Albert Einstein observed that light reaching Earth arrived at a constant rate of speed, approximately 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second). The speed of the light, whether violet, green, or red doesn't vary. (Violet is the highest frequency light that we can see and red is the lowest.) Ultra-violet frequencies travel at the same rate of speed as infra-red frequencies, or CPS. (Cycles Per Second is radio theory and, describes radio and TV frequencies much better than using the name of a rental car company)
Einstein observed that the light reaching the Earth from moving objects has the same speed, but varies in frequency. Light reaching Earth from objects moving toward Earth varies toward ultra-violet, while light from objects moving away from Earth varies toward infra-red. We have all heard the EEE-OOH sound of an object moving toward us, passing us, and moving away from us, such as a train. The sound reaches us at the same speed, the speed of sound, but it has a higher frequency moving toward us than when the train is moving away from us. Sounds that have the EEE sound are of a higher frequency than sounds that have the OOH sound. We can only hear sounds that have a frequency of less than approximately 16,000 CPS. Dogs can hear sounds with higher frequencies than we can hear. If your dog suddenly perks up his ears and you don't see or hear anything that could be causing it, your dog is probably hearing a sound with a higher frequency than you can hear. Einstein explained the EEE-OOH effect in his "Theory of Relativity." This effect is now called the Doppler Effect. The Doppler Effect gave us an important advantage during WW II. It allowed us to develop Radar. With Radar, using the Doppler Effect, we are able to track the size, position, direction, and speed of moving objects such as airplanes and weather systems. The Doppler Effect is the basis for this very important science. This science came from Einstein's "Theory of Relativity."
Radio transmitters and receivers come in ordinary radio frequencies, HF (High Frequency or Short Wave), VHF (Very High Frequency), UHF (Ultra High Frequency), and Microwave frequencies. If we transmit a radio signal at any of these frequencies it will reach the receiver at the same "Time" and "Speed." A receiver can "de-modulate" the sound from the radio signals and you can hear the person speaking through your radio's speaker. That is, provided you have your radio tuned to the same frequency as the radio transmitter that sends the signal. The speed of a radio signal, although having a much lower frequency than light, travels at the same speed as light. TV signals are of a higher frequency (CPS) than most radio signals but they all travel at the speed of light. TV signals are at the frequencies of VHF and UHF. UHF and Microwave frequencies are measured in the over 300 million CPS ranges. Short Wave Radio signals can follow the Earth's curvature while signals in the VHF, UHF, and Microwave frequencies can't. The curvature of the Earth blocks VHF and higher frequency radio signals like it blocks the sun's light from reaching us at night, except for what reflects off the moon. That is why we can receive AM radio stations all the way across the country but we can't get an FM or TV station that is more than about fifty miles away that is not on satellite or cable.
For those of you who have watched the Apollo missions to the moon on TV, you may have noticed that there was a delay between the time that a scientist at Houston Control asked a question and the men on the moon answered. The moon is approximately 238,900 miles (384,400 kilometers) from Houston, which means that it took over a second and a quarter for the question to travel to the men on the moon. There is a natural short delay for a person to formulate an answer and reply to a question. It took the answer over a second and a quarter to travel back to Houston. That should explain to you the delay between Houston Control asking a question of the men on the moon and the reply getting back to Houston.
What is the name of the nearest star? In case you don't know, the nearest star is called "Sol" and is so far away from us that it takes almost 9 minutes for it's light to reach us. It is approximately 92 million miles away. It¡¦s light hits us hot enough to burn our exposed skin on a cloudless day. In case you haven't guessed by now, the nearest star is our own sun, "Trick Question!" Our sun is a star like all of the stars that you can see on a clear night. The nearest star to our "Solar" system is called Alpha Proxima and it is so far away that it takes approximately four years for it's light to reach us. It's approximately four Light Years away. A Light Year is the distance it takes light, TV, and radio signals to travel in a year. A light year is nearly 6 trillion miles (approximately 5,878,625,373,183 miles). In other words, it is four times that amount, or approximately 23.5 trillion miles from here to Alpha Proxima, pretty far!
Hopefully, you now understand what is correct about Einstein's "Theory of Relativity", the Doppler Effect. Now for the flaw, or misinterpretation of Einstein's discovery. If we were to send, by radio, a question to an intelligent "person" on a planet circling Alpha Proxima, the answer would not get back to us for approximately eight years.
The flaw in the "Theory of Relativity" is that "TIME SLOWS DOWN AS THE SPEED OF AN OBJECT INCREASES UNTIL TIME STANDS STILL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYTHING TO TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT!"
Infact, "TIME TRAVELS AT A CONSTANT RATE OF SPEED, SIMILAR TO THE CONSTANT SPEED OF RADIO SIGNALS AND LIGHT. TIME DOESN'T SLOW DOWN AS THE SPEED OF SOMETHING INCREASES. IT IS THEORETICLY POSSIBLE FOR AN OBJECT TO TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT!"
Whether you believe in Intelligent Design or Accidental Occurrence of the Universe, this law of nature or of nature's God exists. The misunderstanding is because, as an object travels away from you, "Time" appears to slow down. "Time" doesn't slow down, but only appears to slow down. Let us imagine a space ship that can travel at the speed of light, or even faster, similar to "Warp Speed" on Star Trek. If we had a TV transmitter at Houston Control and a TV set on our space ship that can re-tune the receiver when the Doppler Effect takes place, what would appear on the screen? The scientists at Houston Control would appear in slower and slower motion until they would appear to stand still to the crew watching the TV on our space ship. What would happen as the space ship travels faster than the speed of light? The scientists that the crew would see on the TV would appear to start moving backward until the "Time" that our space ship left. We expect that the television screen would go blank at that "Time" because it would no longer be receiving a signal. The TV signal sent at the time our space ship started on it's journey would be left far behind by our space ship, assuming that none was sent to our imaginary space ship before it left Cape Canaveral or shortly before it left.
What would happen is that the TV signal would slow down until our space ship reached the speed of light. At the speed of light the frequency reaching our ships TV would be zero CPS. The picture on the screen would stand still. As our space ship went past the speed of light, the signal received by our space ship TV would be the signal that were sent before the signal that arrived at zero CPS. The scientists at Houston Control would appear to be moving backward on our ship's TV until the time our space ship left and then the TV screen would go blank. When our space ship reached a planet circling Alpha Proxima, the picture on our screen would not appear again for nearly four years. When it appears, it would seem like "Time" had stood still while our ship was traveling at or above the speed of light. The scientists at Houston Control would appear to be four years younger than they should be but would be moving at normal speed. It would be four years earlier on our ship's TV than the "Time" our ship's crew is experiencing. The Television signal would be from four years earlier since it takes approximately four years for a TV signal to travel from Earth to Alpha Proxima.
Let's assume that our crew spends four years and a few months on an inhabitable planet circling Alpha Proxima, then heads back to Cape Canaveral. As our fictional space ship starts to speed up, the scientists on our ship's TV would appear to speed up until our space ship reached the speed of light. They would appear to be moving so fast that our crew could no longer see them on our ship's TV screen. The picture would go past being a blur. As our space ship starts to slow down for re-entry to our solar system, the scientists on our space ship TV would slow down again. When our space ship lands at Cape Canaveral, the scientists at Houston Control would appear to be the same age as the age of our crew, "Relatively", and moving at normal speed. "Voila", the same amount of time would have passed for both the Houston Control scientists and our space ship crew.
Now that I have dispensed with the theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, maybe we can develop the science to do it and join the Galactic Community. Imagine being able to travel to planets where other civilizations exist in a few days or weeks. We'd have to be careful that we don't hit any solid objects because that would spell disaster far worse than an automobile hitting a brick wall at fifty or sixty miles an hour. Delving further into Einstein's "Theory", we would still reach our destination but we would have parts of our space ship missing. We would certainly be killed by the collision. We would minimize this possibility by "Focusing" our space ship, like "Focusing" a light, similar to a "Laser." A "Laser" is a highly "Focused light. "Focusing" our space ship would be necessary or we wouldn't arrive at our destination intact. We could also use the science to transmit and receive radio and TV like signals that travel so fast that we would be able to communicate with our galactic neighbors in "Real Time."
If the "Speed" of "Time" varies, why not use the fact to develop "Time" travel? The fact that we have never come in contact with anyone from the future and the only way we can travel into the future is at "Time's" constant "Speed" tends to prove that "Time" travels at a constant rate of "Speed.
Speed of Light = 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth DayYou cannot talk about the speed of light without defining your frame of reference. The measured speed of light in local inertial frames is 299792.458 km/sec. So if you want to make a comparison with "299792.458 km/sec" then you have to make it in a "local inertial frame".
