Science Journals

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Abstract:

In this stroll about light in the context of the nowadays state of science, I analyze Einstein’s postulate of the constancy of the speed of light. In a former paper, it is found that the Special Relativity Theory is consisting of two independent concepts, which were put in the right context of physics. It results in the physical limitation of the theory’s validity to local events, under conditions. Also the question whether light is made of particles or waves is solved, and it results in unveiling the physical process that limits and locally standardizes the speed of light.

Steve Olah(LAGUNA WOODS, United States):

Einstein was a magician. He used slight of hand (or frames) to fool most everybody. In reality there are no overlapping frames. Each object is surrounded by its own frame. Light and other energies are transformed at the boundary of the two frames. We can only estimate what goes on in the original frame.
Light is an interesting creature. Please, take a look at "cone cells" on Wikipedia. Interesting. What you see (colors) may not be what I see.
Cheers, Steve

NANDA BALLABH PANT(Baijnath, India):

Light rays in which many photons are present, however according to the uncertainty principle one cannot measure the velocity of a particular/single photon precisely. Then how one can say about the constancy of "c" ?

Dear Nanda,
Thank you for your comment. However, a measurement of a single photon is a matter of quantum physics. It is true that the disturbance of any measuring apparatus may cause a difficulty of measuring that.
For the present discussion, the physics are to be considered macroscopic, and a proper measuring apparatus will not substantially alter the results.
Best regards;
Thierry De Mees
