It has long been known that the faster you go, the narrower your forward 
field of view, and the wider your backward field of view, with respect 
to things that are moving relative to you [*]. Things that are behind 
you and off to the side, can appear to be in front of you, off to the 
side, because although your motion does not affect the relative speed of 
light, it does alter its relative direction.

Since the images of the objects in front of you are effectively squeezed 
by your narrower field of view, you may construe them as looking further 
away. However, if you made due allowance for the effects of your speed 
on the direction of light impinging one you, then you wouldn't reach 
such a conclusion.

Space" by Geoffrey Hoyle, 1974.

I think what you're describing here is essentially Lorentz Ether Theory... I might be mistaken, but isn't LET the theory that has a universal rest frame, but is mathematically equivalent to Special Relativity in every way?  

Then when you are moving relative to the absolute rest frame, then you should make "due allowance for the effects of your speed on the direction of light impinging one you"

The only thing I would ask, though... If we should make due allowance for our own speed, what speed should we use?  I guess the general agreement among astronomers is to use something called J2000.0 coordinates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_coordinate_system

But before that, they used B1950.0 and B1900.0 coordinates.  Which one then is the "correct" stationary reference frame?

Yes but *knowing* and *showing* things is not the same, and not always 
equally shared by a so-called mainstream mind. And yet, tackling the 
showing (visuals) aspect may prevent one from giving wrong descriptions 
of what's going on.

That's not the right explanation I'd say.
You are NOT seeing a thing *where it is at the moment of your seeing it* 
(eg, sideways behind you) though with some altered direction of light 
signals due to your motion (so that it appears sideways in front of you),
BUT
you are seeing a thing right *where it was at the moment when the light 
left it*, the very light that reaches your seeing eyes right now.
So, at any moment you're seeing a thing in a previous position 
corresponding with a past moment of its existence.

See my "squad" example elsewhere in this thread, or here, an example 
with a single "front" line of such a squad,
at approach:
http://home.scarlet.be/~pin12499/MySRT/frontline1.PNG
bold dot = observer
line of black dots = present position
green lines = "seeing" experiences in past and (rightmost) at present.

The same front line after passing by:

(green and red stand for doppler shift of colors, at approach and at 
recession)

Sort of, but not really.

We are used to speeds very much smaller than c, and we habitually ignore the 
aberration of light. So we ASSUME that when we see an object, it lies in the 
direction of the light we see from it. But when one is traveling at an 
appreciable fraction of c, aberration cannot be neglected, and the light we 
observe from an object is NOT an accurate indication of the direction in which 
it is located at the time of reception, or where it was located at the time of 
emission. This effect varies in magnitude with both your speed relative to the 
objects being observed, AND their locations relative to you at the instant of 
observation.

The distortions in what we see, as Sylvia discussed, are large and cannot be 
neglected. At high speeds, the image of the sky is NOT an accurate 
representation of where the stars and galaxies actually are located.

Aberration is a Galilean phenomenon.  <shrug>

And when one is walking a street, he sees treese and buildings
running around him. A relativistic moron imagined!!! It must
be the truth!!!
BTW, your Shit forbids talking the way you do. You should
specify what one is travelling relative to. But, of course,
you're a moron ignoring your Shit rules as well as common
sense rules.

The point that guido wugi and I are agreeing on, here, I think, is that when we see light from distant stars, it gives us an accurate indication of the direction in which it WAS located at the time of emission, in our current reference frame.

What I think you're saying here, Tom, is that we were not in our current reference frame a billion years ago when that event actually took place, and if we used that reference frame where we were a billion years ago, it would not match the current observed coordinates of the event.  

Of course that's true, but it's not an argument against what Guido and I are saying.

We have no choice in the matter except to use our current reference frame, when we make measurements, and within the context of our current reference frame, the distant events actually occurred in the distant past, in the positions where they are observed.

While correction to J2000.0 coordinates may correct for blur, it should not be considered to correct for error.  The past coordinates of the stars are genuinely moving in our perspective.  It is not some illusion that is created by lenses, which create an image in a position that is not occupied by the object.  It is a direct view of the object, in the location where it actually was.

But it DOES NOT DO THAT, and the error can be quite large if you are traveling 
with an appreciable fraction of c relative to the stars you are looking at. I 
had understood you were attempting to describe how things would look to the 
traveling twin, who does travel with speed an appreciable fraction of c.

> What I think you're saying here, Tom, is [... completely wrong]

No. I'm saying that aberration is important, and cannot be neglected at speeds 
an appreciable fraction of c. This causes a gross distortion in what you SEE. A 
light ray you see from a distant object does NOT point back to where the object 
is (now) or was (when it emitted the ray). To determine its actual direction you 
must first correct for aberration. For earth's orbital velocity this is only 20 
arcsec. and of concern only for precision astronomy. But for speeds approaching 
c the error in angle can approach 180 degrees, and the light emitted from stars 
at your side will arrive from in front of you; even light emitted from stars 
behind you can APPEAR to come from in front of you.

> It is a direct view of the object, in the location where it actually
> was.

Nope -- the ray you see does NOT point back to where the object is or was. You 
cannot ignore aberration.

I don't see the problem, it is exactly what we said, and what you can

It's hard to see how it can be exactly what you said. An object that is, 
and always has been, behind you based on your direction of travel, can 
appear to be in front of you, which is a direction it never occupied.

Ah but this is not what I said, neither what I think "aberration" says. 
The object has indeed been in front of you, esp. at the time it emitted 
the light you see just now, even if by now it is behind you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberration_of_light#/media/File:Aberrationlighttimebeaming.gif
(there seems to be some confusion between what is "behind" and what is 
"in front", depending on the descriptions: observer moving among the 
rain or the stars; or "lines" or "squads" or "spheres" moving toward, 
passing by, and away from the observer).

BTW for J.Doolin:

I would think that the "latitude parallels" shown here don't represent 
those of the sphere itself, as they themselves would be deformed too.

I hadn't given that any thought...

You're thinking where the grid of a an inertial coordinate system meets the sphere...  Think about how the grid goes through the interior of the sphere, versus how it meets the exterior of the sphere.

Through the interior of the sphere, it would be distorted, but where it meets the exterior of the sphere, it would form parallel latitudes.  

What I can't tell for sure is whether the animator properly modeled how the lines would "bunch up" as the sphere passed the origin.  It looks to me like a standard skinnning algorithm was probably used for generating the latitude lines, so the "bunching" isn't modeled.

Yes, but aberration is a phenomenon well understood under Newtonian or Galilean mechanics.  You are just behaving like a shaman promoting a pagan religion by pitching that SR and GR own aberration.  You are nothing but a usurper of science.  <shrug>

I can't see anything to suggest that Tom considers that SR and GR "own" 
aberration.

 He said aberration is a distortion that needs to be corrected, and that it is only of interest to precision astronomers, and the event did not actually take place where it is observed.  

My impression was this was more "disowning" aberration, than "owning" it.

You seem to have a correct sense of what one observes, but your description of the phenomena uses a lot of words that presuppose a preferred reference frame.

I will run down through some of your statements... fixing this nuance so that a fixed "correct" reference frame is not treated as given.

Two items that I would fix here.  
(1) Error - replace with "phenomenon"
(2) relative to the stars you are looking at - should be, "relative to how fast we, ourselves were moving on January 1, 2000.  

Relativistic Nuance:  "The phenomenon can be quite large, if you accelerate by an appreciable rapidity."

Again, our disagreement here is in the nuance of your statement, rather than a difference in our expectations of observational phenomena.  

We both agree that stellar aberration happens, and cannot be neglected.  We both agree that if you don't take it into account as earth goes around in its orbit, and satellites and probes gather information from other positions in the solar system, you will find that the positions of the stars don't quite match up.  

However, whereas you call this a "distortion" because some of the measurements were taken while the earth was moving, and some were taken while the earth was sitting still, I would say that the selection of J2000.0 coordinates was just a convention.  We're not "correcting" an "error" but rather, "selecting" a synchronization point.   


> A 
> light ray you see from a distant object does NOT point back to where the object 
> is (now) or was (when it emitted the ray). 


Both "now" and "when it emitted the ray" are terms that require us to establish some convention by which we agree on mapping the isoclines of constant time (simultaneity)

When I say, "where the object was when it emitted the ray" I mean to use isoclines of constant time according to an hypothetical  array of synchronized inertial clocks that are momentarily comoving with myself.  

But of course, in your conceptualization, where coordinates of time and space are mere labels, I agree that there would be no trouble at all in relabeling the isoclines of time according to some arbitrary convention, which would render "now" and "when" isoclines of time so those measures do not reflect actual distances and times.

You can label those events correctly as 2000.0 coordinates or 1950.0 coordinates, or you can completely mislabel those coordinates  But either system of labeling does not prevent them from moving with respect to your momentarily comoving reference frame.

Yes, it is about 20 arc-seconds.  

And yes, that 20 arcseconds moves everything in the same direction, sweeping forward the stars in the direction of earth's motion around the sun.  It would be a phenomenon that is detectable with a finely tuned sextant, but not with a telescope.

It changes angles between certain stars from, 90 degrees to 90 degrees, 0 arc-minutes, and 20 arc-seconds.  

Yes, it is very small.  But it is also very predictable, and it is exactly what we expect from modeling with Lorentz Transformations, with earth's velocity of 30,000 m/s around the sun.

Light from stars that were behind you is now coming from in front of you.  Quite right.  

Let's consider this for a moment, though... 

Let's say, that you have a star A at 12 o'clock, And star B at 4 o'clock.  (to your right, and slightly behind you.)

Now, you accelerate, tremendously, so that aberration occurs.  Star A will pull away from you, but remain at 12:00, while Star B gets aberrated.. Say you pull it up to around 1:00.  

Now,  you want to adjust your speed so that you can make it to star B.  

Should you turn 30 degrees, and go toward the image at 1 o'clock?  

Or should you turn 120 degrees, and go toward where the image was before you accelerated?

I think you will have much more success reaching star B if you accelerate toward the image of star B.

The ray you see points from where the object was, and if you keep following that ray, from where it came, you'll eventually find the object.  This aberration effect is not an illusion.

Oops.  I'm sorry.  

I'm mixing scenarios...  

If the star was originally stationary, then of course, you'll need to turn something like 120 degrees, or even more, and my argument really doesn't work at all.

The scenario I was thinking of is where all the stars in the scenario are already moving away from you according to Hubble's Law.  In that case, accelerating toward a receding star only reduces the speed at which it is receding.  So having it aberrate to the 1:00 position means you may still need to accelerate toward the one o'clock direction.

Oops again.  No.  Still doesn't work.

You can't get to a receding star by accelerating away from it.  You can go toward where it WAS when the star emitted the light.  And what is amazing is that where it was at emission does indeed swing around in front of you.  

However, It's the PAST position of the star that swings around in front of you.  But the image of that star will be approaching superluminally, and if you want to get to it, you should turn 120 degrees or more to get where the star will be when you catch it.

Oops???


If a doctor is operating on me and he says..."Oops.  I'm sorry.,"   , "Oops again.  No.  Still doesn't work.", 


I want that doctor ...dead!

It's interesting that you're interest in murdering doctors goes up when they acknowledge and correct their mistakes.
