Doppler Shifts in three dimensions

What about moving mediums

If both the source of emission and the receiver of emission are described as moving in a straight line in the same direction at the same constant speed v with no acceleration nor rotation in a reference frame in which the medium of propagation is stationary and has a uniform flow of zero 

that is equivalent 

to the same event described in a reference frame in which the source and receiver are stationary and the medium of propagation is moving in a straight line with no acceleration nor rotation with a uniform flow at a constant speed of v

and vice versa

What about the Fizzeau experiment

The Fizzeau experiment involved laminar flow not uniform flow because water travels slower near the edges of pipers than the center of pipes and because the pipes bent, the laminar flow was not always parallel or anti-parallel or in the same or opposite direction as the direction the light wave or particles were expected to propagate but closer to perpendicular to it or at least off by some angle like 45 degrees at some locations ( how far the angle deviated away from parallel will be different in different locations ) every time a corner was approached

TLDR Too Long Don't Read

You the reader can probably skip reading to the next bold section which is on the interferometer experiment.

The following paragraph about the Fizzeau experiment and partial vs complete Aether drag is not important for the three dimensional Doppler calculations I will demonstrate involved when the medium of propagation is stationary relative to the reference frame but I am putting this in as a note right now so I might not forget it later.  It is not important in the sense that I did not base my calculations on the Fizzeau experiment.  But it is important in that the calculations would be different if I accounted for the factor in the Fizzeau experiment.  

The Fizzeau experiment might indicate that from a reference frame in which the source of emission is stationary that light travels at a different speed when water is moving in laminar flow as opposed to when it is stationary from that reference frame.  The increase in light speed might not be v as I would predict ( with uniform flow ) from my model but v multiplied by a factor calculated as a function of v in both special relativity and the lorenz aether transformation however not necessarily calculated from velocity in the same context as those theories.  I am not really sure about this being correct but I am putting it in as a note to check later because it may undermine my theory which would predict a increase by v instead of v multiplied by a factor.  The specific part of my theory it would undermine is how to calculate Doppler shifts in three dimensions as it would give a different result however it would not undermine all the claims or points of my theoretical model.  

The reason it would undermine my theory as well as the classical Doppler model is because it would mean that waves would propagate faster in the direction a source is moving which you would figure out when you switch reference frames to one in which the medium of propagation is stationary and the source is moving.  In both classical Doppler and in my theory if the source is moving that does not change the speed at which a wave the source emits is propagated through the medium after it is emitted.  

I believe that the addition of v multiplied by a factor was called partial Aether drag as opposed to complete Aether drag in which the addition of v without any factor modifying it was used.  According to my theory the medium of propagation for the light would be water and not Aether but I believe that my theories calculations would be closer to complete Aether drag theories when the medium of propagation is in uniform flow.

What about the ( Michelson Morley ? ) interfermoter experiment

When there is a reference frames in which the medium of propagation is traveling with uniform flow at a constant speed v in a straight line with no acceleration nor rotation and the source of emission and the receiver of emission are also traveling in the same direction at the exact same constant speed v in a straight line with no acceleration nor rotation then this is equivalent to another reference frame in which the medium of propagation is stationary and has a uniform flow with a velocity of zero, the source of emission is stationary and has a velocity of zero and the receiver of emission is stationary and has a velocity of zero

In my opinion it was erroneously assumed that the earth was moving at a certain speed and direction which although certainly was true from some reference frame was not true from another reference frame.  It was further more erroneously assumed that light was traveling through aether which the earth was moving relative to.  My theory assumes that perfect vacuums do not exist.  My theory assumes that if light is traveling through water or air or some mixture of chemical compounds than the velocity of the water or air or mixture of chemical compounds it is traveling through should be measured than used instead of making up a speed of Aether because some people argue about whether the earth is traveling and the sun is moving or the sun is traveling and the earth is moving.

In my opinion when the alleged movement of the aether which was set as the speed of the asserted movement of the earth was used to determine the speed at which things that were stationary relative to one another were moving people were shocked to get a null result and concluded that moving object shrunk and time was distorted but they should have made no such conclusion because the medium of propagation, the source of emission and the receiver of emission were all stationary relative to one another so they should have plugged in a velocity of zero instead and got no such result.  Even if you shake the interferometer very fast with your hand or put it on top of a car it still moves much slower than the alleged assertion of the speed at which the earth moves and if the medium is contained inside the interfermoter and moves with the interferometer which would be the case for some types of interferometers but not others than the relative movement of the source of emission, the receiver of emission and the medium of propagation would still be zero for one relative to the other.

Does the Fizzeau experiment undermine my claims?  No because whether partifal Aether drag calculations or complete Aether drag calculations are used when the velocity is set to zero for source, medium and receiver relative to one another the results are the same even though they would be different for non zero velocities.

What about clocks having different changes in time values as predicte\d by special relativity and the Lorenz Aether Transformation?

Change in time displayed on clock = Reaction Rate * Change in Actual Time

Reaction rate definition vagueness TLDR skip until resume reading if this confuses

The use of the term reaction rate is an over simplification since a clock is calibrated based on tracking the progress of a reaction and the relationship between the time displayed and the progress of the reaction that is being tracked might not be linear.  By reaction rate I mean the rate at which the time displayed changes per change in actual time not the rate of another reaction which is being tracked to get to the displayed time, I am skipping steps since every clock has a different mechanism and I am skipping the step in which a function is applied to the progress of the reaction to calculate the time to display.

Resume reading

In my opinion Special Relativity and Lorenz Aether Transformation predicted how far specific types of clocks deviated from displaying the correct time or how badly they were incorrectly calibrated  when they started moving relative to a certain thing and not how much time actually went past, many fiction stories involving time travel assume their prediction involves how much time actually passed instead of how wrong the clocks became

If two people start with their watches ( clocks ) sent to the exact same time and go about their day then come back and meet each other and one clock is different than the other, the reasonable thing to assume is not that a different amount of time passed for each person but that the same amount of actual time passed for each person wearing a watch ( clock ) but some physical, chemical or nuclear mechanism caused the clocks to have different reaction rates then what one or both of the clocks were calibrated for and that change in reaction rate resulted in one or both of the clocks being wrong.

I propose that special relativity and the Lorenz aether transformation might have correctly calculated by coincidence how the reaction rate of a specific type of Cesium atomic clock is modified as it moves relative to the surface of the earth or relative to the source of the cosmic microwave background.  I would suggest that the cosmic microwave background is not evidence of the big bang as some materialistic atheists and some creationists propose nor is it evidence of creation as some creationists propose nor is the cosmic microwave background related the alleged expansion of the universe but that the cosmic microwave background is simply black body radiation from what is erroneously called the vacuum of outer space which is not a perfect vacuum but a medium of a mixture of chemicals with a specific type, speed and direction of flow that simply has a lower density than air near the surface of the earth.  I would suggest that earth is moving relative to this medium and that this medium is also a source of emission of radiation.  I would suggest that when clocks on earth move relative to this source of emission the radiation from the cosmic microwave background is Doppler shifted and this effects the reaction rates of a specific type of atomic cesium clock.  I would also suggest that a B field may additionally be involved as charges in the clock are moving relative to charges in the medium that is erroneously called the vacuum of outer space.

Although no perfect vacuum exists the distance at which light must travel through a medium of a certain pressure, density and chemical concentration or greater to reach the surface of the earth is longer in the horizontal direction than the vertical direction.  This may result in ignoring the movement of the receiver relative to a source of emission parallel and anti-parellel to it's direction of travel but paying greater emphasis on it's movement perpendicular to the source of emission.  When I say perpendicular to and parallel to this is an over simplification to decrease the number of words and will hopefully be explained better later.

I plan to compare the what I will call right handed, left handed and symmetric Doppler shift calculations in which there is perpendicular motion  to see if they resemble similarity to calculations for factors in the Lorenz Aether Transformation and Special Relativity.

I am very skeptical of the Doppler shift calculations I present matching real life results and the calculations predicted are for a very narrow over simplified situation and may result in different answers for right hand, symmetric and left hand calculations.  My intuition is that the faster one moves relative the the source of the cosmic microwave background the more radiation one should receive but my right handed calculations show there should be less radiation when only radiation from perpendicular motion is considered.  I am not sure if other people use the phrase right hand in terms of doppler shift calculations or if this is a term I made up.  I use this term because it reminds me of the right hand vs left hand vs symmetric derivative calculation in calculus although my calculations are not the same as a derivitive.

What about gravity and time displayed on clocks and the general theory of relativity

There is no reason that gravity could not influence the reaction rate at which the time displayed in a clock progresses as actual time progresses

What about length changes in special relativity and Lorenz Aether Transformation

Copied and pasted from what was labeled as assumption number 9 at the time it was copied and pasted

 If someone uses the change in time displayed on a clock instead of the change in actual time to calculate how far two objects travel away from or towards one another in a straight line at a constant speed then they may get the wrong answer.  If the speed is measured correctly but the time is measured incorrectly if the time is measured to take N times as long as it actually does then the distance will be incorrectly calculated to be N times as long as it actually is.

N can be a fraction less than 1 or a positive number greater than 1.  If the clock calibration is really messed up and is running backwards N could be a negative number.

What about allegations that the earth is moving or stationary?

There are some reference frames in which the earth is moving and there are some in which the earth is stationary.  What is more important to think about is not what is and is not moving but what is moving relative to something else.  I suggest that you can look up in the skies and see that the stars are moving relative to the earth and that the earth is also moving relative to the stars.  I suspect that outer space is not a perfect vacuum and that we are moving relative to it and moving relative to the earth will effect how much cosmic microwave background radiation is received by cesium atomic clocks which effects how much time they display as passing per actual time that passes via Doppler shift.  I also suspect that it is very important to consider that the source, medium of propagation and receiver were stationary relative to one another during the ( Michelson Morley ? ) interferometer experiment and comparing their velocity with the alleged speed at which the earth was moving instead of with one another lead to incorrect conclusions about time dilation and space dilation or constriction.

What about the relativistic Doppler shift vs the standard Doppler shift

If one uses a clock to count how many times a signal is received during a one second time period but a clock incorrectly displays N seconds have passed then the number of signals per second will give the wrong answer and the wrong answer it will give will be the correct answer divided by N.  N can be a fraction less than 1 or a positive number greater than 1.  If the clock calibration is really messed up and is running backwards N could be a negative number.

Assumptions of model

0 There might be more assumptions not on this list

1 Reference frames describe events, changing what reference frame you describe an event from can not change the physical nature of an event

2 Perfect Vaccums do not exist.  The correct medium to describe for the propagation of light is the mixture of chemicals that light is propagating through and not a perfect vacuum nor aether.  This mixture of chemicals has a specific type and velocity of flow which unlike a perfect vacuum or aether can be objectively measured and agreed upon by scientists.  When the mixture is vacuum pumped the density decreases closer to zero but does not reach zero.  The direction, speed and type of flow of the medium influences how light is propagated.

3. During the same event the same clock will display the same time in all reference frames but different clocks can display different times.  

Different observers may read different times on the same clock during the same event because of the time it takes for the light on the clock display to reach the observers eye but the time displayed on the same clock is the same for all reference frames for the same event, the different observers who co-exist during the same event at different distances from the same clock would be looking at light emitted during different events even though their observation would be described during the same event.

4. The absolute value of the change in actual time between the same two events is the same for all reference frames but the change in time displayed between two events maybe different for different clocks because some clocks may not be calibrated correctly to account for environmental factors that change their reaction rate due to their relationship with their outside environment.  The absolute value is used because sometimes people "count down" instead of "counting up"

5.  Events always happen in the same order and changing the reference frame at which a list of events are described in can not change the order in which events occur

6.  The length from one part of an object to another part of an object is the same during the same event or in other words it's shape and size are the same for the same event no matter what reference frames the event is described in

7.  The distance between two objects is the same during the same event no matter what reference frames the event is described in.

8. The same object can have a different shape and size during a different event in response to a change in pressure distribution upon the object, if there is no change in pressure distribution ( for an object in dynamic equilibrium ? ) then a object can not change shape and size for no reason just because it is moving relative to something.  However moving relative to something can change the pressure distribution on a object.

9.  If someone uses the change in time displayed on a clock instead of the change in actual time to calculate how far two objects travel away from or towards one another in a straight line at a constant speed then they may get the wrong answer.  If the speed is measured correctly but the time is measured incorrectly if the time is measured to take N times as long as it actually does then the distance will be incorrectly calculated to be N times as long as it actually is.

10.  There are only three orthogonal spatial translations dimensions in real life, if someone is to claim a fourth dimension that is perpendicular to the other three then they need to take a ruler and measure something in that dimension to prove it.

11.  There are only three orthogonal rotational dimension in real life.  If someone claims there to be a fourth orthogonal rotational dimension then they need to measure the rotation of something in the fourth dimension and give a measurement of the angle to prove it

12.  Time is not a spatial dimension.

13.  The speed at which one object moves toward or away from another object is the same in all reference frames during the same event but the speed at which an object moves relative to the coordinates of the origin of a reference frame is different in different reference frames.

14A  Optional Assumption ( Is this called Complete Aether Drag?  Except my theory does not involve Aether )

The speed of light relative to a medium that is isotropic in which it is propagating is the same in all reference frames but the speed of light is not the same in all reference frames relative to the origin of the reference frame.  The speed at which light moves once emitted is not effected by the speed at which the source at which it is emitted is moving relative to the medium of propagation but the location at which it is emitted from each time it is emitted is effected by the movement pattern of the source as a function of time.

TLDR skip reading until resume reading

14B Optional Assumption ( Is the called Partial Aether Drag?  Except my theory does not involve Aether )

The veloicty at which light moves once emitted from a source is effected by both the velocity of the source and the velocity of the medium but not in a matter of simple addition.  Instead it is multiplied by a factor that can be calculated in the Lorenz Aether Transformation times the difference in velocity between the source and the medium plus the velocity of the medium.  And I could very well have this math wrong.  I do not believe the Fizzeua experiment can be generalized this way because the flow was laminar and sometimes the wrong direction and also my idea about how to interpret the results could be deeply wrong.

I assume 14A instead of 14B when doing doppler shift calculations later and choosing 14B would have given different results.

14C Whether 14A is assumed or 14B is assumed ( Michelson Morley ? ) interferometer experiment should have produced a Null result because the source, the medium and the receiver were stationary relative to one another even if the earth was asserted to be moving.  There was no justification for time or length dilation or constriction to explain the null results.

15 Light emitted from a source never reaches it's receiver before it is emitted

16.  The universe is not expanding or shrinking and it is a steady state universe.  

Although unproven and not necessarily true I start with this assumptions instead of factoring in the expansion of the universe from some big bang or creation event into the mathematical models of my theory.

Too long don't read TLDR skip until the next resume reading.

red shifts in star light occur because light is traveling through a medium which is a mixture of chemicals from outer space as well as possibly for other reasons and not because space is expanding from a big bang.  The farther light travels through a medium the more it is red shifted and different mediums red shift lights a different amount over a different distance.  Gravitational red shift might also occur.  The father away a light source is the more light it must produce to be seen on earth and the more light it must produce the more mass it is more likely to have and the more mass it is more likely to have the greater the gravitational red shift before the light reaches earth, this is also one of the many reasons why a universe of unlimited volume would not have unlimited brightness to an observer on earth.

The universe is unlimited in size and mass and there is no part of the universe with zero density but any section of the universe with a finite volume has a finite mass.  The universe is eternal and is a steady state universe not a universe that came about through a big bang.  

If the universe was created by some god or gods then the universe was created in a way that it has the properties of a steady state universe from the moment it came into being some finite amount of actual time ago or the creator god or gods created it to always exist both forwards and backwards in time eternally with steady state properties such that the creator created it to always exist no matter how far back or forward you go in actual time.  

If there is no creator god then the universe existed eternally as a steady state universe without being created by a god.  

The earth does not experience unlimited brightness from a universe of unlimited size because the farther away a star is the greater amount of light must be emitted to be viewed from earth and because some objects in space or opaque and block light from other objects.  

Entropy and thermodynamic laws do not just gradually result in the universe becoming hotter and hotter and too vaguely defined somehow become to disordered for living things to continue to exist in some places or another for eternity because hot objects cool down and emit light, the light can be harvested and used by living things to create things in an ordered manner, entropy stuff does not prove the universe is of a finite age, we do not have to worry about some vaguely defined claims about entropy resulting in extinction of all life.  It is not valid to claim the universe could not have existed for eternity because by now entropy would have prevented life from continuing to exist after an eternity of time from some starting point so since we do exist the universe must have started a finite amount of time ago.

Difference between light frequency and frequency of emissions

A photon with a frequency of 1000 hertz could be emitted once per second or photons with a frequency of 1 hertz could be emitted 1000 times per second.  The frequency of a photon is not the same as the frequency at which a photon is emitted.

How to correctly calculate period of emission and frequency of emission

If a photon is sent every second starting at the zero second mark and one simply takes a range of time and counts the number of photons emitted during that range of time then divides it by the range of time then one will get the wrong answer for the frequency of emission unless they are extremely lucky or already know the answer and chose the correct time interval to get the desired answer.  Choosing a different time interval to sample photon emissions will give a different nnswer.  

If emissions occur at the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 second marks then if one measures that there is one emission occurring between 0.5 seconds and 1.5 seconds one would get the correct frequency by taking 1 emission divided by the 1 second range calculated by 1.5 - 0.5 but if they went between 0.1 and 1.9 and counted 1 emission divided by a 1.8 second range they would get a lower frequency then is actually occurring and if they counted 1 emission in divided by a 0.2 second range between the 0.9 and 1.1 then they would get a higher frequency then is actually occurring. For a larger time interval in which more emissions occurred the error would tend to get smaller and smaller but the probability of selecting a time interval in which there is no error by this method although greater than zero is very low.

Instead to get a better answer one would need to list all the times that a photon is emitted.  One would get the period of emission by subtracting the two nearest times one from the other.  One could then calculate the frequency of emission by taking the reciprocal of the period of emission.  There is a problem with this method is the photons are not emitted at a constant rate.

I define the right handed calculation of the period of emission at a moment in time as the time at which the photon will next be emitted minus the time in which the photon was emitted at the moment in time you want the period for

I define the left handed calculation of the period of emission at a moment in time as the time at which the photon at the moment in time you want the period for minus the time in which the photon was previously admitted

I define the symmetric calculation of the period of emission at a moment in time as the time at which the photon will next be emitted minus the time in which the photon was previously emitted divided by two.  Where next and previously are relative to a time when a photon was emitted that you want to calculate the symmetric period of emission for

Periods of reception can be calculated the same way but using the word received instead of emitted

The frequency of emission is the reciprocal of the period of emission

The frequency of reception is the reciprocal of the period of reception


Parameters required to do calculations

1 The medium is stationary and of a uniform flow of zero meters per second relative to the reference frame.  If the medium is not stationary but it is of uniform flow then another reference frame can be used in which the medium is stationary to do these calculations.  Changing the reference frames will change the coordinates of the source of emission and the receiver of emission.  These calculation methods can not be used correctly for mediums with other types of flow than uniform flow, these methods do not work for laminar flow for example.

2 The medium is a isotropic medium in which the speed of light propagation is the same in all directions

3 The source of emission is moving  relative to the medium at less than the speed of light propagation for that medium

4 The receiver of emission is moving relative to the medium at less than the speed of light propagation for that medium

5 The receiver of emission is moving relative to the source of emission at less than the speed of light propagation for that medium

6 The period of emission from the source is constant and does not change as a function of time


How to do calculations

Step 1 

Having achieved a reference frame for which all the required parameters are met.  Express the coordinates of the source and the receiver of the emission as a function of time.  If the medium is moving rewrite the problem in a reference frame in which the medium is stationary and express the coordinates of the source and receiver keeping this adjustment in mind.


If in a reference frame in which the medium is moving with uniform flow

The x, y and z components on the velocity of the medium are Vmx, Vmy and Vmz

The velocity components of the source of emission are Vex, Vey, Vez

The velocity components of the receiver are Vrx, Vry and Vrz


Then this can be rewritten in a reference frame in which the medium is stationary as


New Vmx = Old Vmx - Old Vmx = 0

New Vmy = Old Vmy - Old Vmy = 0

New Vmz = Old Vmz - Old Vmz = 0


New Vex = Old Vex - Old Vmx

New Vey = Old Vey - Old Vmy

New Vez = Old Vez - Old Vmz


New Vrx = Old Vrx - Old Vmx

New Vry = Old Vry - Old Vmy

New Vrz = Old Vrz - Old Vmz


Where new refers to the coordinates in the new reference frame we created in which the medium was described as stationary and old refers to the coordinates in the old reference frame in which the medium was described as moving


Step 2 

Set up a differential equation

The distance between the receiver at the time of reception and the source at the of emission is equal to the speed of light propagation for the medium times the time of reception minus the times of emission

Blank ^ 2 = Blank Squared

Xe = X coordinate of source of emission at time of emission

Xr = X coordinate of receiver of emission at time of reception

Note : It is very important to understand that Xe and Xr are spatial coordinates for different time values because it takes time for an emitted photon from a source to travel to the receiver at which it is received

Te = Time of emission

Tr = Time of reception

c = speed of light in that medium

( Xr - Xe ) ^2 + ( Yr - Ye ) ^ 2 + ( Zr - Ze ) ^ 2 = c ^2 * ( Tr- Te ) ^ 2

Plug in equations from the previous step


Step 3 

Using the differential equation created in the previous step

Solve for Te as a function of Tr

Solve for Tr as a function of Te


If Tr as a function of Te is at a early time than Te then the result must be excluded or is wrong

There should only be one solution for Te as a function of Tr for each Tr value

There should only be one solution for Tr as a function to Te for each Te value


Step 4

To figure out the period of reception at the time of reception

RPr = Period of Reception right hand

LPr = Period of reception left hand

SPr = Period of reception symmetric

Pe = Period of emission

Tr ( Te ) = Time of reception as a function of time of emission solved in previous step

Te ( Tr ) = Time of emission as a function of time of reception solved in previous step


RPr = Tr ( Pe +  Te ( Tr ) ) - Tr

LPr = Tr - Tr ( Te ( Tr) - Pe ) 

SPr = Tr ( Pe +  Te ( Tr ) ) - Tr ( Te ( Tr) - Pe ) 


Step 5

Take the recipricol of the period to get the frequency

Doppler shift frequency multiplier is frequency of reception divided by frequency of emission


Examples of calculations for parallel, perpendicular and circular movement


one dimensional source and receiver move parallel or anti-parallel to one another at a constant speed with no acceleration and are in a straight line from one another in the direction that they are moving

Step 1 write function of coordinates as a function of time

Vex = Velocity of source of emission

Vrx = Velocity of receiver

Xe(Te) = Position of source of emission as a function of time of emission

Xe0 = Position of source of emission at time of 0 seconds

Xr(Tr) = Position of receiver of emission as a function of time reception

Xr0 = Position of receiver of emission at a time of 0 seconds

Xe(Te) = Xe0 + Vex*Te

Xr(Tr) = Xr0 + Vrx*Tr


Step 2 Set up differential equation

( Xr - Xe ) ^2 + ( Yr - Ye ) ^ 2 + ( Zr - Ze ) ^ 2 = c ^2 * ( Tr - Te ) ^ 2

since this is one dimensional this can be rewritten as

( Xr - Xe ) ^2 = c ^2 * ( Tr - Te ) ^ 2

Xr - Xe = c * ( Tr - Te )


Plug in equations from the previous step

Xe(Te) = Xe0 + Vex*Te

Xr(Tr) = Xr0 + Vrx*Tr

Xr0 + Vrx*Tr - Xe0 - Vex*Te  = c*Tr - c*Te

Putting receiver of emission and source of emission type variable on different sides of equation isolating them from one another to make it simpler

c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0 = c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0


Step 3 solve for Tr as a function of Te and Te as a function of Tr


Solve for Te as a function of Tr

c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0 = c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0

Moving everything that does not contain a multiple of Te to the right side of the equation

c*Te - Vex*Te = c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0 +Xe0

Putting everything that multiplies by Te inside parenthesis

Te * ( c - Vex ) = c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0 +Xe0

Solving for Te by dividing  by the stuff inside parenthesis from the previous step

Te = ( c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0 + Xe0 ) / ( c - Vex ) also called Te ( Tr )


Solve for Tr as a function of Te

c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0 = c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0

Switching left and right side because usually the variable you want to solve for is written on the left in the final solution so this makes it easier to think about for me

c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0 = c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0

Moving everything that does not contain a multiple of Tr to the right side of the equation

c*Tr - Vrx*Tr = c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0 + Xr0

Putting everything that multiplies by Tr inside parenthesis

Tr * ( c - Vrx ) = c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0 + Xr0

Solving for Tr by dividing  by the stuff inside parenthesis from the previous step

Tr = ( c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0 + Xr0 ) / ( c - Vrx ) also called Tr ( Te )


Step 4 figure out the period of reception ( Pr ) at the time of reception

Tr ( Te ) = Time of reception as a function of time of emission solved in previous step

Te ( Tr ) = Time of emission as a function of time of reception solved in previous step

Pe = Period of emission


Right Hand RPr = Tr ( Pe +  Te ( Tr ) ) - Tr

Left Hand LPr = Tr - Tr ( Te ( Tr) - Pe ) 

Symmetric SPr = Tr ( Pe +  Te ( Tr ) ) - Tr ( Te ( Tr) - Pe ) 


Te ( Tr ) = ( c*Tr - Vrx*Tr - Xr0 + Xe0 ) / ( c - Vex )

Tr ( Te ) = ( c*Te - Vex*Te - Xe0 + Xr0 ) / ( c - Vrx )


Tr ( Te + Pe ) = ( c* [ Te + Pe ]- Vex* [ Te + Pe ] - Xe0 + Xr0 ) / ( c - Vrx )

RPr = Tr ( Te + Pr ) - Tr = ( c*Pe - Vex * Pe ) / ( c - Vrx )

Tr ( Te - Pe ) = ( c* [ Te - Pe ]  - Vex* [ Te - Pe ] Te - Xe0 + Xr0 ) / ( c - Vrx )

- [- Pe ] = + Pe 

0 - ( -1 * -1 ) = 0 - 1

0 - ( -Vex * - Pe ) = 0 - Vex * Pe

LPr = Tr - Tr ( Te ( Tr) - Pe ) = ( c*Pe - Vex * Pe ) / ( c - Vrx )

SPr = LPr = RPr whether left hand, right hand or symmetric calculation the period of reception is the same in this case

Pr = ( c*Pe - Vex * Pe ) / ( c - Vrx )

A bunch of stuff cancels out when the two functions are subtracted from one another because everything that is not multiplied by Pe appears the same on both functions, I did not want to write out something so long so just skipped to the final answer


Step 5

Take the recipricol of the period to get the frequency

Doppler shift frequency multiplier is frequency of reception ( Fr ) divided by frequency of emission ( Fe )


Fr = 1 / Pr = ( c - Vrx ) / ( c*Pe - Vex * Pe )

Fe = 1 / Pe

Fr / Fe = Fr / ( 1 / Pe ) = Fr * Pe = Pe * Fr

Fr / Fe = Pe * ( c - Vrx ) / ( c*Pe - Vex * Pe )

Fr / Fe = c - Vrx / ( c - Vex )

matches Wikipedia if the correct plus or minus sign is chosen and the equivalent variable names in wikipedia which mean the same thing but use different symbols are chosen.  It is concerning that the positive or negative sign in my original equations had meaning based on the context of the initial positions of the source of emission and the receiver of emission and their velocities so you can tell if they are going towards are away from each other based on the context in the original equations but is missing in the final equation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect


Perpendicular straight line Doppler shifts

The receiver is moving in a straight line at a constant speed and at the position where it is desired to measure the period of reception the direction the receiver is moving is perpendicular to the direction between the receiver and the source of emission.  The source of emission is stationary.

Step 1 Express the Coordinates of the Source of Emission and the Receiver of Emission as a function of time

Ye = Position of source of emission in Y direction

Yr = position of receiver of emission in Y direction = 0

K = Ye - Yr = I am calling it K as a reminder that it is a constant not a variable

Xr0 = position of receiver at a time of 0 seconds = 0 meters

Xr ( Tr ) = position of receiver at time of reception = V*Tr

Step 2 Differential Equation based on Coordinate function in previous step

( Xr - Xe ) ^2 + ( Yr - Ye ) ^ 2 + ( Zr - Ze ) ^ 2 = c ^2 * ( Tr - Te ) ^ 2

( Yr - Ye ) ^ 2 = K^2

( Zr - Ze ) ^ 2 = 0

( Xr - Xe ) ^2 = ( V*Tr ) ^ 2

( V*Tr ) ^ 2 + K ^ 2 = c ^2 * ( Tr - Te ) ^ 2

( Tr - Te ) ^ 2 = Tr ^2 - 2 * Tr * Te + Te ^ 2

( V*Tr ) ^ 2 + K ^ 2 = c ^2 * ( Tr ^2 - 2 * Tr * Te + Te ^ 2 )

Put it into a form in which Tr or Te can be solved in terms of the other using the quadratic equation

0 = c^2 * ( Tr ^2 - 2 * Tr * Te + Te ^ 2 ) - [ ( V*Tr ) ^ 2 + K ^ 2 ]

0 = ( c^2 - V^2 ) * Tr^2 + 2 * c^2 * Te * Tr + c^2 * Te^2 - K ^ 2

Solve for Tr

A = c^2 - V^2

B =  2 * c^2 * Te

C = c^2 * Te^2 - K ^ 2

sqrt ( blank ) = square root of blank

Tr =  ( - B + or sqrt ( B ^ 2 - 4 * A * C ) ) / 2 * A

B ^ 2 = 4 * c ^ 4 * Te ^ 2

4 * A * C = 4 * ( c^2 - V^2 ) * ( c^2 * Te^2 - K ^ 2 )

4 * A * C = 4 * c ^ 4 * Te ^ 2 - 4 * V ^ 2 * c ^ 2 * Te ^ 2 - 4 * ( c ^ 2 - v ^2 ) * K ^ 2

B ^ 2 - 4 * A * C =  4 * V ^ 2 * c ^ 2 * Te ^ 2 + 4 * ( c ^ 2 - v ^2 ) * K ^ 2



 2 * A = 2 * ( c^2 - V^2)



Solve for Te

A = c^2

B = 2 * c^2 * Tr

C = ( c^2 - V^2 ) * Tr^2 - K ^ 2



Step 3 Using the differential equation created in the previous step, Solve for Te as a function of Tr & Solve for Tr as a function of Te




Graph, image, picture or text comparing black body radiation with cosmic microwave background from wikipedia

Cesium Atomic Clock frequency compared with cosmic microwave background frequency range from wikipeida


Comparison of perpendicular Calculation with factors in Lorenz Aether Transformation and Special Relativity with Doppler shifting multipliers for Cesium Frequency assuming perpendicular propagation from the boundary of "outer space" and Earth's atmosphere ( The Carmen Line ? )


Experiment

Measure cosmic microwave background in an object that is moving and see if a function to predict it can be made and if that function gives reliable predictions in a retest

Take a stationary atomic clock and add radiation which replicates the added radiation  equivalent to that from moving at a certain speed  minus the radiation it receives when standing still

Remember going West vs East should modify radiation amount in the opposite direction up until the point at which one is stationary relative to the source of radiation from the cosmic microwave background at which point going faster in the same direction will change whether radiation is increased or decreased

One might not be able to subtract radiation so just choose a signal that replicates the radiation at a speed and direction in which the radiation is decreased

See if the radiation added to the stationary clock which is equivalent to the change in radiation from moving replicates similar changes in the display time to a moving clock that moved in such a manner

It might not entirely give the same results if the B field also effects the results

And an important question is if there is a statistical interaction effect between B field and radiation equivalent to the cosmic microwave background on the clock time

One might also try to replicate a similar B field to the B field that would be created by moving relative to the medium of outer space that is erroneously called the vacuum of outer space but I am not sure if that is possible

Since atomic clocks are very expensive the general public will never know if such results are actually true whether they support or oppose the guesses I am making, until atomic clocks and fast transportation methods of such clocks is affordable to the general public.  They can choose to trust the reports of others but can not have first hand knowledge for them self.  As such I believe this article may help people in the distant future but is only speculation for now.

Other experimental ideas that would be desirable but most likely impossible with reasonable resources and our current level of technology

It would be good to do an experiment on how uniformly flowing water effects the speed of light but any objects placed would change the flow of water and I think the atomic clock experiment would be more realistic.  Fizzeua did a similar experiment to what I would like to test in that he sent light through pipes with flowing water but the pipes bent and also caused laminar flow making the experiment problematic.  He also did not measure speed directly which I would like but measured interference patterns.  I do not see it as realistic to have a large enough medium with uniform flow for light to propagate without a bent path in which we can test the speed of something that moves so fast without bending the path.  It might however be possible to do such a experiment with sound since sound travels so much slower than light.  Of course people will then say that applies to sound but not light.

Changes will be made and another document written including some of the points in this article but shortened for the most part and edited although some new things might also be added that are not in this article

The use of the term differential equation is incorrect so I will change the name to Master Equation and hope the term Master Equation is not already used to mean something else.  I will replace the e with s for source of emission

( Xr - Xe ) ^2 + ( Yr - Ye ) ^ 2 + ( Zr - Ze ) ^ 2 = c ^2 * ( Tr- Te ) ^ 2

Master Equation

( Xr - Xs ) ^2 + ( Yr - Ys ) ^ 2 + ( Zr - Zs ) ^ 2 = c ^2 * ( Tr- Ts ) ^ 2


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.

Why I moved my blog

 


I was writing about a theory I am working on on 

teachingthenarrowway.blogspot.com


However I had a lot of drafts in which I start over then I try to look at my own blog and Google calls it dangerous but did not call some of my other blogs with the same email address sign in as dangerous

Since I wrote so many blogs about this topic with rough drafts that I redid after starting over I decided to simply create another blog address dedicated to this theory I am working on in a separate location if they are going to make it more difficult to access this blog anyway, that way it will not be too crowded with many drafts of the same type of thing

Sometimes in order to come up with correct ideas we have to risk the chance of accidentally saying wrong ideas

We can find right ideas by listing many ideas and then eliminating the wrong ones

Blocking the ability to say wrong ideas will block the ability to say right ideas because we must say the idea before we evaluate if it is right or wrong
