We continue without a break.
According to Einstein’s postulate, the speed of light is constant. It doesn’t matter if a cyclist has a flashlight, as shown in the pictures illustrating the Special Theory of Relativity (SRT), on board an airplane or a starship. No matter how you measure, you will get the same 300 thousand kilometers per second. The wavelength will change, you can say the intensity of the light. But not speed.
Question: who checked it? There are space observations. The images of stars revolving around their axis, floating in the abyss of space, are not blurred, which means that light has the same speed. Otherwise, the “slow” and “fast” light from parts of the stars with different speeds, instead of a shining point, would show something like a comet.
But Cosmos is Cosmos. And you prove something within the terrestrial laboratory. The Italians of the OPERA group in Gran Sasso have already shown that something is not good with the theory of relativity. Lightweight neutrinos easily exceed the speed of light.
Italy. Done and Forgotten. The main point: the neutrinos generated by the reactor are flying too fast. Faster than light
Russia. Ridiculous experiment on good equipment. It is possible to measure the speed of light “pushed” by the emitting particles directly using high-speed oscilloscopes. Russian scientists don’t
Here’s another experiment. It was held in Russia. The results are presented by the journal “Science and Life”, No. 8, 2011. Already something, in my opinion, is close to the truth. But, not really. Here is a particle accelerator. The particles spin at tremendous speeds (in one direction only) and emit light as they move. This accelerated light is diverted into a special window and… what do you think? Is its speed measured directly? This is quite possible in this experiment. Not at all. Experimenters introduce a glass plate into the path of the beam, and thus prove that the speed of light does not change when passing through a screen (analogue of ether?).
For what? Everything is much simpler.
Long before that, the author was involved in measuring the speed of light, “pushed” by microparticles. Normal white light bulb. There are those in your work. Ions rush in it at a speed that can be compared with light. With the help of a diode, we make the particles fly in one direction of the tube, then in the other. I don’t have superfast sensors and high-speed oscilloscopes. Therefore, we simply project the image of the lamp onto the screen using a pinhole camera (a hole in the shield). If the quanta have a longitudinal velocity component, the image should shift. And so it happens.
This experiment, in contrast to the experiment with the synchrophasotron, you can repeat yourself
For those who love details. Based on the articles of the author in the journal “Tekhnika-Molodezhi”, No. 10, 2001, and No. 3, 2002.
“… In a household fluorescent lamp, the plasma temperature is on the order of tens of thousands of degrees. This corresponds to the motion of charged particles with a speed of about 1000 km / s. The photons emitted by ions flying with a speed V must have a speed C + V directed along the axis of the lamp parallel to the screen, in accordance with the classical principle of adding speeds, and not with the SRT formulas. If so, the spot will move in the direction of the movement of the ions emitting light. If the second postulate of SRT is true, there will be no displacement. I am using a neon lamp with a glass shell that is transparent to UV radiation. The light from the emitter passes through a narrow diaphragm and hits a screen located parallel to the plane of the emitter electrodes at a distance of 0.8 m. The direction of the current can be changed using a diode. An image of a lamp appears on the screen… When the direction of the current changes, it shifts in the direction of ion movement by 11 mm. This means that the speed of light C is added to the speed of movement of the source V according to the “ballistic” principle. According to indirect estimates, the ion velocity is 2000 km / s. This is in good agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, either the second postulate of SRT is incorrect, or its meaning needs special clarification.
Home laboratory instrumentation – mercury and neon lamps instead of synchrophasotron
Experience with polarity reversal and prism
As they say, to seek is to seek, and therefore I set up a second experiment with a neon lamp, changing the conditions. The main element is now a prism that deflects light rays of different wavelengths in different ways. If the speed of light is greater than C, the spectrum shifts towards the violet side. If less than C, a “redshift” occurs, as when observing a receding radiation source. And this is not the Hubble effect. I place the neon lamp so that the plane of the electrodes is perpendicular to the pinhole screen. When the lamp is turned on, a spot of light appears on the screen. After polarity reversal, the beam is shifted by 24 arc minutes. Using the well-known formulas, we calculate that in this case the change in the speed of light is 520 km / s, with an error of 85 km / s.
I draw your attention to the fact that the change in the refractive index of the prism due to the different speed of the photons in the ray incident on the glass is usually masked by the property of the refractive medium. The refractive index, precisely because of the differences in the speed of quanta in vacuum (air), depends little on color, and is abnormally large. This experience is based on rather subtle assumptions, and does not have sufficient clarity. It would be more correct to use two low-inertia photosensors placed along the pulsating beam and connected to high-speed oscilloscopes. Reversing the polarity of the lamp would reveal the whole truth, which of the rays flies faster. Once and for all. The author does not have such tools.

…Does ether exist, this kind of ocean in which light waves roll? And, as we assume, keeping the shadows of the past quite fresh, forever? Let’s bring a revision of physics. Michelson-Morley interferometer. The beam is divided by a translucent mirror. One of them goes towards the stream of ether, then back. Its speed changes. The second is perpendicular to the flow and therefore serves as a standard of speed. If the speeds do not match, the interference pattern will change. In the figure below on the left, the author imagines that the position that the rays pass strictly perpendicular paths is incorrect. During the stroke along the arms of the interferometer, the rays are deflected by the ether stream. The detector receives waves initially deflected towards the ether stream. The scheme for constructing a real interference pattern is much more complicated than Michelson’s drawings. In addition, according to the reasoning about the Mössbauer effect, only light with a “standard C” speed of 300,000 km is clearly observed. from. Figure above the interferometer.
