Quote from: Star-Drive on 05/15/2009 10:19 pmWhat his prediction indicate is that the phase of the laser light passing through the M-E induced spacetime distortion in the PZT ring would change in reference to the laser beam passing through the flat spacetime outside the PZT ring in the same way as the moving aether was suppose to affect the light beam in the M&M tests. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson-Morley_experiment The aether is known today in the quantum mechanics as quantum foamhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_foamAnd what if the same M&M experiment is conducted now, but as a rotational version (using M-E distortions) instead of the old linear one? Would then be any aether detected? Is that his idea?-=-=-=-=-=Too much energy required...

And no. According to Dr. Woodward's theory, and all GR theorists; all gravitic consequences propagate at c.
Quote from: JohnFornaro on 04/21/2009 07:19 pm<snip>In blazotrons analysis of the theory paper, he states: Then [Shawyer] states, completely without support, that the force imparted by a wave with group velocity vg is 2nhfA*(vg/c). Nowhere in the text is it explained why we should be using the group velocity of the wave to calculate force. I think blazeotron is somewhat incorrect in stating where in the text is this explained. The author alludes to:CULLEN A.L. Absolute Power Measurements at Microwave Frequencies IEE proceedings Vol 99 Part IV 1952as explaining where he gets the above derivation. But this is not an actual explanation, so semantically I guess, blazotron is right!Please post Cullens paper on this forum. A simple web search will not provide this paper online.My impression was that the reference to that paper was in regards to the derivation of the radiation pressure. Looking at it again, it seems a little ambiguous to me which he is referring to. That article is hard to get, but I put a request in to the library here to pull the journals from the remote storage they are located in now. Hopefully I will have them to post before I leave for the expedition.
