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.]

Universe Theory." The microcosm in the center is moving left.

Yikes! So that is why we didn't have any kids!
