For nearly a century now, there
has been absolutely no concrete, pure classical treatment
to the physics problems pertaining to significant fractions of the
velocity of light. Until now, no alternative methods had been
presented that use pure classical approaches which are explainable with
simple, intuitive measures without having to resort to the usual framework
of Special and General Relativity.
There is now a simple, profound
and completely overlooked classical alternative to the Special and
General Relativity principles. It is the correct alternative
that uses only the electrodynamics of Galilean transformations in
Euclidean Space Geometry alone according to the principal axioms of the Extinction Shift Principle; a pure
Classical Physics discipline coined and developed by this
author.

A
CLEAR FACT supported by OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE
|
You can search continually the known
cosmic sky with the most modern instruments without ever
finding direct evidence for gravitational lensing in the
optical region of the spectrum as suggested by the light
bending rule of General Relativity. With modern instruments,
the evidence should be clearly revealed. The cosmic sky should
be filled with visible lensing effects on the light emitted
from background sources, everywhere coinciding with the
presence of point-like super massive bodies in the
foreground. |
A Most Significant Finding
on
Gravitational Lensing
Significant findings show that one of the most
misunderstood of all
observed astrophysical phenomena is that of
gravitational lensing
A direct
interaction between the gravitation of the sun and the rays of starlight
apparently does not take place in the vacuum space just above the plasma rim of
the sun. It is apparent that, in consistency with nearly a century of
astronomical observations, an indirect interaction between the
gravitation of the sun and the rays of starlight takes place only
within the thin plasma rim of the sun.
Gravitational
light bending, as predicted by General Relativity, should be easily
noticeable at multiple solar radii well into the empty vacuum space
above the solar plasma rim, at impact parameters of 2R, 3R, . . ,
nR, where R is one solar radius, M is the solar mass enclosed. Since
the light bending rule of General Relativity is essentially a 1/R
effect, modern technical means in Astrophysics should permit us to
easily detect a light bending effect of at least 1/2 of 1.75 arcsec for a light ray tangent to
the Gaussian sphere of radius 2R, 1/3 of 1.75 arcsec for a light ray tangent to
the Gaussian sphere of radius 3R, etc, etc, . .
, 1/n of 1.75 arcsec
for a light ray tangent to a Gaussian sphere of multiple radii,
nR. The observational evidence above the solar rim, where there is no plasma, is
clearly inconsistent with the light bending rule of General
Relativity. The evidence
supports a
misunderstanding and/or a misapplication of important fundamentals of the Mathematical Physics pertaining to this
subject matter.
The Extinction Shift
Principle predicts there can be no
direct interaction between gravitation and electromagnetism.
THE ANIMATED IMAGE ALTERNATES

LENSING OBSERVED in vacuum space above the Solar Plasma
Rim 2) INCORRECT: Light Bending
occurs IN ALL SPACE as
predicted by General Relativity
