I am suggesting a new subject topic for this group.
How Does Light "Know" How Fast to Travel?:- This question arises from the
fact that the velocity of light is independent of the velocity of its
source.
Under the interpretation of reality provided by Special Relativity,
light is
considered to consist of particles called photons which travel
ballistically
through empty space. Under the interpretation provided by the Aether
Relativity
Theory, light consists of packets of electromagnetic vibrations
transmitted
through a medium called the Aether. Since one would expect the
velocity of ballistic particles to be affected by the velocity of their
source,
Special Relativity would seem to be incapable of dealing with this question.
The Aether Relativity Theory, on the other hand, has no
difficulty. The
velocity of propagation of a vibration in a medium is determined by the
properties
of the medium and is independent of the velocity of its source.
Busy minds want to know,
