Short Explanation draft 1

I thought I already published this but it was in drafts maybe I was waiting to finish it to publish it I wrote it sometime in 2024

This is not finished I am going to start over again yet another time instead of finishing it or proof reading it further

Moving Medium Theory

Short Explanation first draft on this new blog location

Robert Jay Lifton's concept of Doctrine over Person demonstrated in the science classroom

Imagine you sit down in physics class and there are wild equations on the board, you are given a work sheet that says "v=?" in big letters under the measurement section.  You are given a perfectly stationary device and asked what to put down for the speed at which it is moving.  All the other calculations rely on that quantity but the object is not moving at all.  Eventually you realize that even though it is perfectly stationary relative to the lab room and to you, you are supposed to put down some number you are told with the units you are told because you are told the earth is moving.  You say to yourself it maybe moving relative to something but it sure is stationary relative to me but that is not the answer you are to put down if you are to get a good grade on you lab report.  

That object was called an interferometer and it would display a pattern of light that was said should become different based on how fast it moves and in what direction, but it only displayed the pattern it should display if it was stationary, which would make sense because you could not see it moving, but guess what you were expected to believe it really was moving so some length or distance must have shrunk to make it look like it had the same pattern as it would if it was stationary, because don't you dare say it is not moving.  And this you were told was proof of Einstein's special Theory of Relativity.

A very similar experience happened to me as well as too many other science students, fortunately for me when I asked about it my teacher was much more nice about it than others might be and had a interferometer that was much less fragile than many others instead of being a big box with expensive lasers, it was a circular disk that you could shake around without breaking and it might have had alternating light and dark fringe circles for the pattern displayed most likely with a transparent top enclosing the device to see the pattern through.  And shake it I did.  Still I did not notice any change in the pattern but I just probably could not shake it at even 10% of the speed that it was claimed to be traveling at when it was standing still which would make any real or alleged change in the pattern much less noticeable and also no matter how fast I shook it, it probably never moved relative to the medium enclosed inside through which the light propagated to produce the interference pattern.  

It might have been called a sodium lamp and I have tried to search for videos of other interferometers or sodium lamps or sodium interferometers like it online to show people what I saw but unfortunately I could find no such thing so far but only very fragile looking devices that you would not want to shake around like that and which do not enclose the medium.  Even though I could not find one exactly like it so far many students throughout the world are faced with other types of interferometers that are said to be moving when they are stationary relative to the students and are faced with a similar absurdity and challenge to put the doctrine that the device is moving over their observation that the device is stationary relative to themself and relative to the medium that the light is propagating in.

Well years later I developed a theory about what kind of conclusions people would have if they admitted that the object is not moving when compared to the medium that the light is propagating in.

How did moving medium theory get it's name?

I made up the name and I might change the name if I find out another theory with that name already existed.  I gave it this name because the theory relies on the velocity of the medium light is propagating through is important in this theory.  Where as other theories ignored or changed the velocity of the medium light is claimed to propagate through so as not to match reality when doing calculations.  In other words in this theory it is important to understand how a medium is moving or staying still when studying the propagation of light through that medium.

Introduction

The most unique or rare thing this has article compared to all Special Relativity Theory variants and Aether or Lorenz Aether Theory variants that I know of is that I do not claim that light travels through a Perfect Vacuum and I additionally do not claim that light travels through Luminiferous Aether.  There are other theories that are similar to my theory involving something called Complete Aether drag except instead of claiming that light is propagating through Aether I would claim that light is traveling through a chemical substance such as for example air or water or something else with a measurable chemical composition, density, pressure, temperature, velocity and type of flow.  

I have tried to modify the my theory presented here such that it would be compatible with both complete and partial Aether drag except replacing the Aether with a chemical substance and so that it could be presented into a shorter format, but leaving out many details and over simplifying things.  In many interferometer experiments the source and observer which I call a receiver are both stationary relative to the medium of propagation for light.  Since all of those relative velocities are zero, I believe both full and partial Aether drag will produce the same result even though full and partial Aether drag would produce different results with a non zero velocity of one of these things relative to another.  

It is an absurdity when people claim an interferometer can not be stationary nor moving at a speed of zero, when the person observing the interferometer, the surface of the earth, the medium the light propagates through and the interferometer itself are all stationary relative to one another, yet that very absurdity became a common belief in prominent and reputable places that are called institutions of science.  Just because the earth can be described as moving from a certain reference frames does not mean that it can not be described as stationary from another reference frame.  

Although this might be a oversimplification, historically people believed light could propagate like a wave but also believed that a wave required a medium to propagate furthermore they believed a vacuum was not a medium which would lead to the conclusions that light waves could not propagate through a vacuum.  However contrary to that conclusion they believed that they observed light waves propagate through a vacuum.  In order to reconcile the contradiction between their observations and their theory they decided light must be propagating through a medium called Aether even when it was moving through a vacuum.  In reality when they thought the light was traveling through a perfect vacuum it was actually traveling through a imperfect vacuum with a chemical composition, flow, velocity, temperature, density and pressure which meant that the light was traveling through a medium and they did not need Aether to explain what was happening at all.  For example if you take the medium of air and you vacuum pump it you will not get a perfect vacuum but only be left over with air at a lower density and pressure which is still a medium and not empty space even though it is called a vacuum because it is a imperfect vacuum.  Although many science fiction shows call outer space a vacuum you can look up the density or pressure of the so called vacuum of outer space and find out that it is listed as greater than zero in various sources.

This mistake of saying light was traveling through a vacuum therefore there must be Aether was not without consequence but led to further absurdities. Now weather men use device to measure wind speed but they do not have device to measure Aether speed.  Let's say you have stationary air and light is traveling through that air and someone asks you what is the speed of the medium that the light is traveling through, now a reasonable person would say it's speed is zero or stationary, but they wanted to speculate about the speed of the Aether and claim that light was traveling at a speed other than zero through the Aether it was propagating through.  They declared the Aether was moving because they asserted the earth was moving.  Now I do not deny that the earth is moving relative to certain things but they did not seem to want to acknowledge that the earth was also stationary relative to other things.
