Extinction Shift Principle©

A pure Classical Physics look at Electromagnetism and Gravitation

Emission and Re-emission done correctly

derived using step-by-step clear classical approaches only

in a recently published book

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 BETWEEN TWO MODELS
1) CORRECT: NO LENSING OBSERVED in vacuum space above the Solar Plasma Rim
2) INCORRECT: Light Bending occurs IN ALL SPACE as predicted by General Relativity

SUPPORTED BY THE PAST CENTURY OF INTENSE OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE
