Here is a repeat of a neat 30-minute video
of an interview I did with Tom Palmer of the Sane Society in Berkeley. It was
done 5 years ago, but in reviewing it again, I was struck by his interest in Infinite Universe Theory. My story has not
changed much since then except for one item. See if you can find it. The prize
will be a free copy of my new book, Infinite
Universe Theory, which you could give to a friend.

Doppler Effect explained
PSI Blog 20180124 Doppler
Effect explained
Abhishek Chakravartty asks
a good question:
“On page 33 of IUT, you
wrote that when the train is coming toward us, the sound of its whistles have
short wavelength and when it is going away from us, the sound of its whistles
have long wavelength. Can you explain why?”
[First, the Doppler
Effect only occurs in a medium, which has an existence relatively independent
of whatever microcosm moves through it. Second, a microcosm exhibiting cyclic
behavior will disturb the macrocosm of the medium at regular intervals.
As an example, suppose
you are a drummer on an open-air train that is stationary. If you hit the drum
every second, the surrounding atmosphere will conduct the sound of that drum at
1-second intervals. People both fore and aft will measure an interval of 1
second. However, when the train is moving, the “fore” people will measure (e.g.,
hear) a shorter interval than the “aft” people. This is because, after the
first drum beat, the train will be closer to the “fore” people when the second
drum beat occurs. The travel path will be reduced. The opposite happens at the
rear of the train. This is because, after the first drum beat, the train will
be farther from the “aft” people when the second drum beat occurs. The
travel path will be increased.
Travel
path shortening produces a decrease in wavelength otherwise known as a “blueshift.” Travel path lengthening produces an increase
in wavelength otherwise known as a “redshift.”[1]
These effects were
observed in Sagnac’s classic experiment confirming the existence of the aether
(IUT[2],
Ch. 15.1). They were reconfirmed in the Hafele-Keating experiment in which
cesium beam clocks were flown around Earth in opposite directions (IUT, Ch.
15.6). Note that, because regressive physicists assume there is no aether
medium, the redshifts encountered in the so-called “proofs of relativity” are
interpreted as evidence for “time dilation.” This is unfortunate because time
is motion and motion cannot dilate—only things can dilate.]

Regressives all set to bend time!

Blog 20180110 Regressives all set to bend time!
Here
is a heads-up from Jessie, who says: “It simply boggles the mind the stupidity
they put into print and money and intellect going down this dead end journey
down the Einsteinian rabbit hole. How much insanity can they take before they
take stock and change course?:
Well
said Jessie. This stems from Einstein’s objectification of motion.[1] It all fits with our
claim that a regressive physicist, by definition, does not know what time is.
Time is motion[2] and cannot be bent. Only
things can be bent. The imagined perfectly empty space would have no properties
and could not be bent. The imagined space-time could not be bent either. This fantasy
is where the much ballyhooed “wormholes” come from. Egads! This is what it
takes to get into CERN?
