Title: Is light speed independent of observer?.
Post by: afksf1944 on 10/08/2019 21:53:48
(I posted this on Quora, I am posting it here for more audience and feedback).

Space is full of photons moving in all directions at C speed relative to space time in all space time locations.

 so, moving observer is only changing space time location.

Light, the big science mystery, can easily be explained.  All that is necessary is to answer one question........When does EM emission occur?

If I have a dipole antenna, and feed it with one sine potential, at what point and where in time on that sine, does the emission occur?

The answer to that question, will explain ALL light dynamics.  From anywhere, to anywhere.

If you can tell me when, I can show you how.

"Is light speed independent of observer?"

yes.

When does EM emission occur?
Having spent a year looking at the variability of fluorescence  half lives, I look forward to this discussion.

TLDR:   you are wrong.

What I meant is:-
Light speed is only dependent on permeability and permittivity which are constant in any given medium, Hence, light speed is constant in any medium and independent of observers as speed of reference.

Unclear what you are trying to say, but light speed is constant in a vacuum.  Speed of light through any other medium would be a function of the velocity of the medium.
Observers seem to play no role in any of this.

Molecular, atomic and particle emission, is different than radio antenna emission.  Those structures use FAST physical dislocation of charge(field source), to separate the field from the charge, and that field is converted into a "c" speed wave.  Dislocation can happen in two ways.  A change in position....or a change in structure.........a FAST contraction or expansion.

In my radio emission, I can not jerk the emitting dipole structure, fast enough, to cut charge  fields.  This might change in the future.  We now have piezo materials that can change shape(dimension), fast enough, to emit.  Very short and maybe very directional antennas for even LOW frequencies(KHz) might soon be available.

C is only constant, in a vacuum, is there is NO relative velocity between source and target.

This is easy to detect, and compute that velocity, passively, if you know what to look for.

Light obeys the restrictions space and time just as exactly as everything else has to.

It's a super square universe.
