Quote from: David Cooper on 10/01/2019 19:11:14If you have a gravity well with changing length contraction on it due to the source(s) making rapid changes in direction of travel, then you effectively have gravity being turned up and down, and the change can be rapid and near-instantaneous along a long length of the path the signal's travelling along (perpendicular to the gravitational source).I read that about 6 times and could not figure out what you're trying to describe.

Quote[Light] has a wave nature with crests and troughs. A measurement of frequency is (at the lowest level) a measurement of how many crests arrive in a given length of time. The distance between two crests doesn't change as the gravity well changes shape.This seems like conjecture, and in this example, it might not turn out to work the way you're describing it.

Surely light coming from a star at color X is not all in phase, and measurement of the wavelength of it isn't done by counting crests over time. Twice as much green is still green. I suspect they measure the energy of each photon and extrapolate the wavelength from that. That's how eyes do it.
Orbiting black holes are a lousy example since each one deforms the ring of equal potential of the other, so it isn't a circle anymore.
OK, I get that, but what does the dot represent?
I think you're picturing two black holes, but there is no aiming a beam of light at the dot, which is not a fixed location. You aim it near one of the singularities or not. Nothing is changing a perspective.
Light has a wave-like nature in some ways. I don't think anybody says light is a wave. Waves are not things, they're effects of multiple things.
]Light isn't point particles either, despite it having particle-like nature at times. You seem to be attributing classical properties to a very non-classic entity.
Ears (a 0-D matrix) resonate at thousands of frequencies, which do a mechanical Fourier transform on the waves and send that result to the signal processor.
I agree sort of, but then why does focused light from a random source (the sun say, which hardly puts out synced laser light) not just cancel itself to almost nothing? No, it fries the ant. Most of the signal does not in fact go missing. Where would the energy go if it canceled? Seems to violate conservation.
