For observer in a box everything is going to look as if he were standing still
I know that is what is
supposed to happen. I just don't buy it!
for there to be no frequency shift, the distance between the source and detector must remain in the same proportions to the velocity of the light beam.
Oh Crap! :(
I just figured out that the frequency change at the detector will be cancelled out by the frequency change at the source so this won't work anyway.
Still doesn't explain the perpendicular example though.
And yes I have read the information at the site that you linked. I have also read bunches of textbooks and taken university level physics courses about the subject.
No book and no Physics professor has ever managed to fully answer my questions. All the answers I get just use circular reasoning. Relativity says
this will happen so this is the reason why
that happens. All the explanations are based on the
assumption that relativity is correct. Nobody is willing to put a foot outside the box.
I even had a physics proffessor who told me that if I could prove that Einstein was wrong then he would kill himself because he had wasted his entire career.
"What a complete twat!" I thought. Nobody with that attitude should be allowed to call themselves a scientist. Science is about pushing the bounds of knowledge, not sticking to some religious notion that what we know is what we know "so just deal with it!". That is the attitude I always come up against.
Let's all bow down to the great God Einstein :pray:
