Description

When reasoning on the basis of photons, the existence of two massive theoretical anomalies with respect to the CS’s (Contemporary Science’s)  light/photon paradigms can be irrefutably demonstrated, through two straightforward thought experiments [1] (open access). Both anomalies already fully falsify, as Karl Popper’s type of very strong “falsifications by anomaly”, the simplistic and inaccurate graphical model that was used by Michelson and Morley in their world famous fundamental experiment. The anomalies clearly prove that it is impossible for a photon to inherit any of the velocity vector components of its source. Consequently, the anomalies falsify [1] several other contemporary photon/light based, paradigms, including the CS’s paramount Equivalence Principle paradigm, for photons. Several CS’s paradigms, based on light/photons, therefore clearly become highly unsustainable in fundamental and applied research and new paradigms urgently need to be established.

In the meantime the follow-up publication [2], also indicated in the video presentation, was accepted by Elsevier Optik. The publication [2] is also open access and thus can be downloaded through the DOI link as well. The publication [2] demonstrates the experimental confirmation of the findings in [1] through a straightforward laser experiment. The scientific community is welcomed to re-perform that straightforward type of laser experiment and re-confirm the findings in [1] and [2]. Obviously this all will finally lead to the initiation of the needed processes towards massive paradigm shifts, as discussed by Thomas Kuhn in his book “The structure of scientific revolutions”. After about fifteen years of my uphill battle against the tenacious CPBDs (Contemporary Paradigm Believers and Defenders) those paradigm shifts will start to happen, indeed finally. The, up to now, very efficient CPBDs strategy of hiding in silence (trying to “silence the anomalies to death”) during those 15 years will start to erode in the very near future. Numerous contemporary paradigms, based on photon phenomena, are in fact already destroyed as a result of the existence of the massive anomalies explained in [1] and [2], and in the video presentation. A new school of (young) scientists now can start the needed massive paradigm shift processes with respect to description of photon phenomena, occurring in real space.

Description

The existence of two massive theoretical anomalies, regarding the contemporary science’s (CS’s) photon based paradigms, can be irrefutably demonstrated through two straightforward thought experiments [1]. These anomalies falsify (Karl Popper’s strong “falsification principle by anomaly”) the simplistic/inaccurate graphical model by Michelson and Morley in their world famous fundamental experiment. The anomalies clearly prove the impossibility for a photon to inherit any of its source velocity vector components, in whatever direction. Consequently, the anomalies falsify several other, CS’s photon based, paradigms [1], including the CS’s paramount Equivalence Principle paradigm for photons. Moreover, a laser experiment [2] confirmed the findings in [1]. In the Opal’2021 presentation the findings in [1] and [2] are discussed. From [1] and [2] CS urgently needs to initiate fundamental paradigm shift processes (Thomas Kuhn) regarding the totally flawed CS’s graphical/mathematical modelling approaches for photon/light phenomena.

Description

With respect to the contemporary science’s (CS’s) photon based paradigms, the irrefutable existence of two massive theoretical anomalies can be clearly demonstrated through two straightforward thought experiments [1]. Based on Karl Popper’s very strong “falsification principle by anomaly”, these anomalies falsify multiple CS’s photon based paradigms. At first, the world famous Michelson and Morley so-called “fundamental research null-result experiment” paradigm is falsified, including the simplistic and inaccurate graphical model being used in their publication. Both massive anomalies indeed clearly prove the impossibility for a photon to inherit any of the photon source’s velocity vector components, in whatever direction. Consequently, both anomalies falsify several other, CS’s photon based, paradigms [1], and in particular the CS’s paramount Equivalence Principle paradigm for photons. The important findings in [1] were moreover confirmed through a straightforward laser experiment [2]. In the Physics and Astronomy World Forum’2021 presentation the findings in [1] and [2] are disclosed. As a result from the open access publications [1] and [2], CS evidently needs to initiate urgently fundamental paradigm shift processes (according to Thomas Kuhn), regarding the numerous totally flawed CS’s graphical/mathematical modelling approaches for the description of photon/light phenomena.

Description

The specific case of a photon source, moving at a high velocity v in space in the direction x, while emitting photons in the perfect perpendicular direction y, was considered in [1]. The findings in [1] resulted in the irrefutable Fig. 12 in [1], demonstrating the existence of a photon location-of-arrival shift effect MF, as a result of the velocity v. The, in [1] predicted, MF effect was proven experimentally in [2]. Fig. 12 in [1] is thus falsifying the view by contemporary science, that M is the photon’s location of arrival, for whatever value of v. The amplitude of MF is in fact dependent from the photon source’s velocity v. It is thus feasible to measure MF and then calculate v. Such innovative velocity measurement concept, based on photons, should be introduced urgently in a broad R&D project, involving the collaboration of experts in multiple fields. A MF shift based, one directional velocity measuring device, needs to be realized first. Thereafter a three-dimensional (x,y,z) configuration can be considered, of three of such “one-directional” based velocity measuring devices, by mounting those perpendicular to one another. When attaching such three dimensional measurement configuration to a material object (being in motion at high speed in space), such configuration will allow to measure the scalar values, of each of the three perpendicular velocity vector components of that object (total velocity vector and its direction of motion). There are multiple important potential applications in space (high velocity objects) and on our planet.
