An introduction to Refractional redshift, and how it was confused with gravitational redshift

[Marvas]

@COLGeek Like I said, neither did Galileo's heliocentrist theory gain any traction innitially. In fact he was jailed for contradicting the established ptolemeic cosmology, which placed the earth in the center of the universe. The consensus was that Ptolemy's geocentrism was correct, and this consensus lasted from antiquity to a few centuries back. And it took over a hundred years until Galileo's theory 'gained traction' as you say. So the fact that a theory gains traction or not has absolutely nothing to do with its truth value ! Just because a theory is popular does not make it right, and just because a theory is not popular does not make it wrong.

That is why in formal logic the appeal to popularity or majority is considered illogical, as is the appeal to authority and antiquity.

That said, if you think that something is wrong with my theory then you should point out exactly what it is, not resort to these logical fallacies.

I believe you have made a fundamental mistake. A velocity factor is not a change in speed. It’s only a change in direction. If the emitter is stationary, the refractor stationary and the detector stationary, the frequency does not change with refraction. And the speed does not change. Only the direction.

That is Snell's law of refraction, not mine. I did not discover the fact that light slows in a medium according to the equation v=c/n, where n is the index of refraction of the medium.
So your argument is that my theory is wrong because the laws of refraction are wrong. My theory is based on known refraction physics, I did not add anything to it. In optics it is well understood that the wavelength changes when light refracts. And even on wikipedia it says that the wavelength changes during refraction.

Problem is in astronomy this phenomenon caused by refraction is completelly ignored, and most astronomers simply have no clue that it exists, which is why they confuse it with gravitational redshift, which does not exist. In fact, they confuse all the known effects of refraction with those of gravitation: light bending, slowing and changing wavelength. And they all recite the relative dogma which states that space is curved and this causes light to redshift and bend, and that this was experimentally proven by Pound Rebka, Shapiro and other relative scientists.

What I did is challenge this dogma with known refraction physics, in this case that refraction causes a change in speed and wavelength, causing either a redshift or a blueshift, and show that this refractional shift was confused by Pound and Rebka with gravitational shift.

In Boulder there is a clock that runs one part in 10^16 slower on the floor than on the ceiling.
How does refraction affect a strontium clock?

In a rabbit hole there is a clock which runs even slower. Ask Alice, she will tell you that time dillates there cause space is more curved in the hole. This arguments which prove relativity cause someone detected a picosecond difference with his fancy atomic watch are completelly unrealistic and ridiculous. There could be so many factors which can affect the atomic watch, like temperature, magnetic fields, including the earths, and so on. In fact, strontium is a metal and therefore reacts to magnetic fields. In fact, the atomic clock has a magnet inside which sorts the strontium atoms out depending on their energy, and they are energised by shooting an EM wave of a certain frequency at them. Any electronical device which emmits EM waves or generates EM fields could influence the flow of strontium atoms, like an air conditioner or a router.

Its not just one guy on the internet who claims Einstein was wrong, unless you think Tesla twitted on his iphone that Einstein is a curly haired crackpot and his theory is pure metaphysical non-sense. Also Dayton Miller, or Sagnac, did not have an internet connection. But even on the internet Im not alone. Ron Hatch, GPS inventor, Edward Dowdye, phyiscs proffesor and NASA scientist, Stephen Crothers, math proffesor, are all succesful scientists who succesfully discredited GR.

Pound and Rebka swapped positions for source and receiver many times. Sometimes they had the emitter on the top of the tower and sometimes they had it at the bottom. All confounding factors were removed.

I loved your article re the ether but was disappointed to read this assertion that gravitational dilation does not exist. Clearly, not so.

Tell me how they successfully discredited Relativity. So far just an assertion and as such not a lot of value.

This is irrelevant because refraction occurs in both cases and causes a blueshift when the emmiter/source is placed up in helium, and a redshift when it is placed down in air (when its swapped with the detector).

What they should have done is also make the experiment in a horizontal setup, and if there was no redshift/blueshift then it meant gravity was causing it in the vertical setup. If there was a redshift in the horizontal position, then it means its caused by refraction and/or by Compton scattering and it has nothing to do with gravity.

But if aether exists then the logical implication is that both special and general relativity are wrong. Special relativity was founded on the negative result of the MM experiment, which was interpretated by Einstein and all relative scientists in the sense that aether does not exist. And special relativity is a special case of general relativity, so if SR is wrong then GR is also wrong. So all predictions made by GR are wrong, including gravitational redshift/time dilation.

And if this experiment doesnt convince you, then check out the Shapiro gravitational time delay which I also debunked with refraction:

Shapiro time delay is caused by Refraction. Gravitational time dilation does not exist.

Shapiro time delay is caused by refraction. Gravitational time dilation does not exist. The Shapiro time delay effect, or gravitational time delay effect, is one of the four classic Solar System tests of general relativity. Radar signals passing near a massive object take slightly longer to...

And another reason why gravitational time dilation cannot exist is because it slows objects down as they enter a gravitational field, instead of accelerating them. As the theory predicts that photons are slowed down by it, so it causes a gravitational deceleration, instead of acceleration. And this gravitational time dilation is said to be the source of gravitational acceleration, so there is a clear contradiction and inconsistency in Einstein's gravitational theory.

Well for a start here is how Edward Dowdye did it:

Gravity does not cause any light bending, NASA scientist claims. But what does ?

https://beyondmainstream.org/scientist/dr-edward-dowdye/ Once more, when you are looking at stars near the sun, you notice that the light is only bent when the starlight is inside the corona of the sun, but did not bend outside the corona where Einstein predicted. Einstein’s general theory of...

Stephen Crothers a math wizz debunked it with maths which is way more complex and difficult to understand, you can also find it on youtube.

And Ron Hatch is a GPS inventor who observed that there is no frequency shift in the GPS radio signal from space to earth, which completelly debunks Einstein's gravitational shift due to time dilation. This observation is consistent with the theory of refractional redshift/blueshift, where frequency remains constant.
