Relativity is NOT based upon the assumption that any motion observed in the sky can be EQUALLY and COMPLETELY described from either a heliocentric or geocentric reference frame.

You seem to not even know what Relativity is. The orbit of Mars is not long enough to go around the sun and the Earth if the sun is going around the Earth, therefore it must at some point cross in front of the Sun from the Earth's point of view. Why has that never happened? Please answer this question without the attitude.

Special relativity

Special relativity (SR) (also known as the special theory of relativity (STR)) is the physical theory of measurement in inertial frames of reference proposed in 1905 by Albert Einstein (after considerable contributions of Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré) in the paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies".[1] It generalizes Galileo's principle of relativity — that all uniform motion is relative, and that there is no absolute and well-defined state of rest (no privileged reference frames) — from mechanics to all the laws of physics, including both the laws of mechanics and of electrodynamics, whatever they may be. In addition, special relativity incorporates the principle that the speed of light is the same for all inertial observers regardless of the state of motion of the source.[2]

This theory has a wide range of consequences which have been experimentally verified. Special relativity overthrows Newtonian notions of absolute space and time by stating that time and space are perceived differently by observers in different states of motion. It yields the equivalence of matter and energy, as expressed in the mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum. The predictions of special relativity agree well with Newtonian mechanics in their common realm of applicability, specifically in experiments in which all velocities are small compared to the speed of light.

The theory is termed "special" because it applies the principle of relativity only to inertial frames. Einstein developed general relativity to apply the principle generally, that is, to any frame, and that theory includes the effects of gravity. Strictly, special relativity cannot be applied in accelerating frames or in gravitational fields.

Special relativity reveals that c is not just the velocity of a certain phenomenon, namely the propagation of electromagnetic radiation (light)—but rather a fundamental feature of the way space and time are unified as spacetime. A consequence of this is that it is impossible for any particle that has mass to be accelerated to the speed of light.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

Relativity states "there is no absolute and well-defined state of rest". That means the Earth is not at rest and not an absolute point. Relativity contradicts your assertion that the Earth is the center of anything sense there is no absolute center in Relativity.

Now please answer my question without using Relativity incorrectly.

The crucial quote:

"NavCom Technology, Inc. has licensed software developed by the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) which, because of historical reasons, does the entire computation in the ECI frame. Because of some discrepancies between our standard earth-centered earth-fixed solution results and the JPL results, we investigated the input parameters to the solution very carefully. The measured and theoretical ranges computed in the two different frames agreed precisely, indicating that the Sagnac correction had been applied in each frame.

also, i think the very FIRST experiment confirming lightspeed to be constant irrespective of the reference frame is infact the experiment which proves all your essertians wrong.

>>You refer to the famous Michelson Morley interferometer experiments. Thank you so much for bringing this up. As we will see, what Michelson Morley proves wrong, is the notion that physics is able to prove a motion of translation of the Earth about the Sun, through fringe interference patterns.

Originally posted by leonheartmm light incoming at 90 degrees to the equater AND 180 degress to the equater had its speed measured multiple times. yet in all the original experiments, the speed was the same and the speed of the rotation of earth was NOT added or subtracted from the speed of the light.

>>Not so. The MM results reported fringe displacements "certainly less than one twentieth" the EXPECTED result (expected why? because the experimenters ASSUMED the Earth was moving around the Sun at app. 30km/s). Therefore, there were two consistent logical conclusions which could be be drawn from the experiment:
1. The lack of predicted fringe shifts meant the Earth was apparently at rest in space; OR
2. It would be necessary to reinvent physics from the ground up, so as to explain the lack of fringe displacements by dispensing with the "ether" which had formed the basis of Maxwell's equations.

Needless to say, it was the second option which was chosen-"Special Relativity", with its supposed "vacuum" of "empty space" in which the speed of light was constant in all reference frames.

It is important to note, however, that the common textbook statement that MM reported a "null result" is FALSE. The experimenters did NOT report a "null result", only one very much less than predicted.

>>Friend, I can absolutely promise you, if you want to get into the history of the interferometer experiments, I can give you the years, locations, experimenters, reported results, and scientific publication citations on every major one from 1887 to 2003. Can you? No? I didn't think so. So please, let's stick to what we can prove, OK?

you wud know that these observations were the ones that led to people trying to find a reasoning behind the sonsitancy of the speed of light irrespective of reference frames.

>>We see, first of all, that your "knowledge of the history of science" is so faulty, that you falsely allege Michelson and Morley to have reported NO fringe displacements, when they actually reported:

"The expected deviation of the interference fringes from the zero should have been 0.40 of a fringe- the maximum displacement was 0.02 and the average much less than 0.01- and then not in the right place. As displacement is proportional to squares of the relative velocities it follows that if the ether does slip past [the Earth], the relative velocity is less than one sixth the Earth's velocity".

--Letter dated August 17, 1887, from Albert Michelson to Lord Rayleigh, cited in Livingston, "The Master of Light: A Biography of Albert A. Michelson", Charles Scribner, 1973, p.130

>>Your question is meaningless. How would you account for the consistency of these measurements if the Earth was rotating? There is no difference in terms of the effects these motions would have. What we DO know, is that the experiments consistently show a real, but much smaller than expected, fringe displacement. Therefore SOMETHING is causing the fringe shifts. We also know that Einstein's attempt to build a physics on a "vacuum" in Special Relativity failed, and that all subsequent discoveries at the quantum level have abolished any notion of "empty space" as a medium of electromagnetic propagation.

>>>Can I help it if you got your physics out of some stupid textbook? Go read the experiments in the words of the experimenters. It will keep you from being idiosyncratic.

Now stop, close your eyes, and think this through. Construct in your mind a Solar system, where the planets orbit around the Sun.

Have you been talking to Albert Einstein again? I have no disagreement with Albert Einstein or Relativity. You are ignoring the question. You can’t have it both ways, and just saying coordinate shift does not convince me of anything. Both the sun and the Earth are NOT FIXED.

It is not the same. In your models planets would not have a retrograde in their path across the sky. This is because the Earth would never pass the other planets because it is not moving. However, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all have retrogrades (times when they move backward in the sky). This is caused by the fact that the Earth has a shorter orbit around the sun and will pass the planets in question.

Listen, pal, I can appreciate how tough it is for you to have to accept that JPL has just been shown to do all its interplanetary satellite navigation computations in an Earth Centered Inertial Frame, with Sagnac corrections making the Earth based receiver the preferred reference frame for all these computations, in DIRECT contradiction of Relativity Theory.
But there it is.

>>I would be tempted to simply conclude that you are a liar, if I had not had so many evidences in this thread of your stupendous ability to blunder. Let's give you the benefit of the doubt here, that you are simply blundering again.

Here again, Sleepy, is the direct quote from the scientists themselves:

So, Sleepy, we see that the ENTIRE (that is, the WHOLE, the COMPLETE, the TOTALITY OF) the computation is NOT done, as you said, in the solar frame. Instead, it is done in the EARTH BASED frame.

Now it is my pleasure to debate issues, but when my adversary is reduced to either:
a) a pathetic inability to read the simple words of the sources cited OR,
b) bald facedly lying,

then intellectual honesty requires that we take a "time out", and determine which is which.

So, Sleepy, I will now ask you to please acknowledge that you have read and understood the quote above, and that you now grasp that [B] the entire computation for interplanetary space probe navigation is done by JPL in the EARTH CENTERED INERTIAL FRAME.

If you do not respond, and if you do not signify that yes, you do now understand that the entire computation for interplanetary space probe navigation is done by JPL in the EARTH CENTERED INERTIAL FRAME , then it will be necessary to point out that further debate with you on this question would be superfluous.

The debate would have been settled, in such a case, on incontestibly clear grounds.

I await your response. [/B]

Providing another misquote is not really gonna help you convince people here with your arguments or much less with your credibility, oh Knowledgeable Poser. Here is the link again: http://www.aliceinphysics.com/introduce/ion.pdf . The Navcom quote is on page 5.

GPS, Sagnac Effect, and Ashby Claims
At this point we want to consider a number of claims that
Ashby [4] has recently made in regard to GPS and the
Sagnac effect. We address three specific comments which
Ashby made and respond to each below.

. . . .

(3)The final claim by Ashby, which we contest, is: “Of
course if one works entirely in the nonrotating (sic)
ECI frame there is no Sagnac effect.” The only way
this claim can be true is if we adopt the definition
sophistry of the prior claim. But we have even more
convincing data that Ashby’s claim is false. NavCom
Technology, Inc. has licensed software developed by
the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) which, because of
historical reasons, does the entire computation in the
ECI frame. Because of some discrepancies between
our standard earth-centered earth-fixed solution
results and the JPL results, we investigated the input
parameters to the solution very carefully. The
measured and theoretical ranges computed in the two
different frames agreed precisely, indicating that the
Sagnac correction had been applied in each frame.

The quote you cite again has nothing to do with inter-planetary probes but with GPS. Of course JPL uses software based on Earth-based coordinates (ECI) to track GPS because unlike deep space probes which goes into an interplanetary jaunt, its job area is limited to only here on Earth (ie. provide pinpoint locations here on Earth). I do hope you know the difference between a GPS satellite and a deep space probe like the Voyager probes or am i asking too much.

The fact that your using an Earth-based GPS study like Wang and Hutch's, "Conducting a Crucial Experiment of the Constancy of the Speed of Light Using GPS" - Comments on Ashby’s “Relativity and the Global Positioning System” to prove that inter-planetary probes uses geocentric coordinates is just plain stupid. Youre citing the wrong reference to substantiate your argument. The study cites one instance where interplanetary probes are discussed, in fact on the same page further along, and on that one instance, it disproves your claim:

"The JPL equations [10], used to track signals from
interplanetary space probes, verify that the speed of light
is with respect to the chosen frame. In the JPL equations,
the chosen frame is the solar system barycentric frame.

The motion of receivers during the signal transit time from
earth to probe and from probe to earth is taken into
account. Even the motion of the earth around the
moon/earth center of mass is taken into account.
Clearly,
the JPL equations treat the speed of light as constant with
respect to the frame—not as constant with respect to the
receivers. In the GPS nomenclature, the one-way Sagnac
effect must be accounted for on all signal paths."

I'll just reiterate what i said earlier, based on the study from the quotes you cite come from, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses the solar system's barycenter and NOT the Earth to track our inter planetary space/ deep space probes. Also. JPL and the two authors of the study are NOT supporting a geocentric solar system since they believe that the Earth is in motion within the Earth/Moon center of mass and NOT stationary, much less a geocentric universe.

And remember, im still waiting for that MEGATON Cosmic Microwave background proof. Judging from your previous proofs, its just going to be another futile misquote. But thats not gonna stop you, im sure.

Jeers.

oh my GOD. trans just proved to all of us that reletivity is WRONG and the speed of light in empty space is NOT constant irrespective of the frame of reference. hmmmm, i wonder what weve been doing for the last 70 years...............................

The truth has arrived: The way all those far off galaxies and nebulas and other astronomical bodies are able to exceed the speed of light to orbit around the earth is by implementation of invisible carousels!!! This is science 💃 !!!! The carousels are not subject to the laws of physics, and are thus able to exceed the speed of light, taking their celestial tourists on a journey around the tilt-a-earth!!! Yes... YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS ¯\(ºдಠ )/¯ !!!!!!!!

>>SECOND LIE BY SLEEPY: "The quote you cite has nothing to do with inter-planetary probes but with GPS"

As has previously been posted, the authors are addressing BOTH interplanetary and GPS, as they themselves tell us, ONE PARAGRAPH below the end of Sleepy's citation above:

"The JPL equations [10], used to track signals from interplanetary space probes, verify that the speed of light is with respect to the chosen frame."

Originally posted by Templares

>>That is correct. And, as you will never be able to lie sufficiently to falsify, JPL also uses software based on Earth based coordinates (ECI) to track interplanetary space probes, AS YOU YOURSELF JUST TOLD US IN YOUR QUOTE ABOVE:

"NavCom Technology, Inc. has licensed software developed by the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) which, because of historical reasons, does the entire computation in the ECI frame."

So we see that Sleepy is simply willing to lie, brazenly, in hopes that he can confuse the simple-minded sufficiently to prevent them from grasping the catastrophic truth, which is this:

1. The ENTIRE computation in the JPL software- both GPS and interplanetary- is done IN THE ECI (Earth Centered Inertial) frame.
2. SUBSEQUENT computations (footnote 10 references a scientific paper which provides an exhaustive list of these) are employed to SHIFT the computation to a solar system frame, ONLY in the case of INTERPLANETARY probes.
3. BOTH sets of computations involve a SAGNAC correction which is ONLY with regard to an EARTH BASED receiver, in explicit contradiction to the established assumptions of Relativity.

As I have said before, honesty is important in scientific debate, and Sleepy, you are simply not being honest here. It is a terrible and frightening thing, to see a person willing to twist and lie, in order to escape the necessity of honestly addressing the facts which might present serious difficulties for his position.

I had earlier said that I had much more respect for you than some of the other participants in this debate, since you had at least shown a willingness to do research and engage on the eivdence.

I must sadly amend that observation, since there is nothing at all worse than bald-faced dishonesty in a scientific debate.

We have seen, so far, two specific instances of Sleepy posting what I cannot find any way to ascribe merely to his previously well-established ignorance. These two instances are, very sadly, lies.

I wanted to try and find an animation of the Tychonic geocentric system to assist you in understanding why Einstein and I disagree with you.
If you click the link above, select "Tycho Brahe" on the "model" tab, and play with the various speeds, you will see:

1. The very same coordinate transformation Einstein and I already asked you to perform- (the Earth becomes the co-ordinate transformed center, and the sun along with all the planets, orbits the Earth)- that very same co-ordinate transformation will be performed in front of your eyes.
2. The retrograde orbital motions of Mars as seen from the stationary Earth will be performed in front of your eyes (obviously, since the entire system is merely the result of a simple coordinate shift) .
3. The similar retrograde of Venus will, predictably enough, likewise be observed.
4. While you will not be able to see it, this model would still give you something to crow about if you were really, really smart. You could claim that the phases of Venus would not be observed, and YOU WOULD BE RIGHT! That is because the orbits for all the systems in this model are circular (non-Keplerian).
5. The transformation of the orbits from circular to Keplerian would yield the phases of Venus. This is what is known as the "neo-Tychonic", or modern geocentric, system.
6. As Einstein and I have already told you a very great number of times, this neo-Tychonian system is entirely EQUIVALENT to the Keplerian heliocetnric system, in that BOTH systems are derivable from the other by means of a simple coordinate transformation, and are hence EQUALLY JUSTIFIED under the basic premise of the Theory of Relativity.

This constitutes a formal, complete, and total refutation of each and every argument against geocentrism that was advanced by Galileo. In other words, the model you have just observed in front of your eyes, constitutes scientific proof that Galileo was wrong in each and all of his arguments claiming the impossibility of geocentrism.

Now if you have a desire to courteously acknowledge that your objection has been completely answered, I would very much appreciate it,

If not, then that's OK too, I would not be at all surprised.

I believe all objections have been honorably answered, and unless something else is forthcoming, it is probably time to proceed to the CMB evidence and conclusion of this most interesting debate.

why the long posts? Can't we take them one part and then another?

That is what happens to people who are possessed by Einstein. 😂

He is hard to talk to after tea though...........babbles along with time/space thingies............good though.

Anywhoo, I had to take some speed just to keep up with him. 😂

He's a terrible looser at "Go Fish"
