He proposes that photons approaching an observer are moving with infinite velocity and photons receding from an observer are moving with a speed 1/2 C. Mathematically, this works out for the interferometer because the photons it observes follow a back and forth path. However, the idea is preposterous. Consider the following setup<br /><br />A B C<br /><br />where A is a source of light and B and C are interferometers. According to Lisle's hypothesis, photons moving from A to B are moving with infinite velocity with respect to B as they approach B from A and are also moving with infinite velocity with respect to C as they approach C. But, after they have passed B, they are moving at a velocity 1/2 C relative to B. This despite the fact that A, B, and C are at rest with respect to each other. Totally preposterous.colnago80https://www.blogger.com/profile/02640567775340860582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-59089325223945898232014-03-02T12:28:13.013-05:002014-03-02T12:28:13.013-05:00oh and now he opened up his blog again, feel free ...oh and now he opened up his blog again, feel free to post....wakawakwakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264808613704582683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-41859322584405979372013-06-21T00:33:21.194-04:002013-06-21T00:33:21.194-04:00check out his blog http://www.jasonlisle.com/2013/...check out his blog http://www.jasonlisle.com/2013/03/27/its-not-human-reason-vs-gods-word and some of the commentswakawakwakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264808613704582683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-70865868472315347312012-10-21T12:22:57.625-04:002012-10-21T12:22:57.625-04:00Yeah, that seems right.
